Hemp Could Be Banned By Thanksgiving — What You Can Do
This is not a drill. Senator Rand Paul has warned that hemp could be federally banned in a matter of weeks. Powerful members of Congress are pushing language that would criminalize any hemp product with any THC, effectively outlawing more than 95% of hemp consumables available today. If they succeed, this Thanksgiving could mark the end of your favorite products — and potentially destroy the U.S. hemp extract industry.
TAKE ACTION!
What’s Going On in Congress
The House has already passed legislation containing the ban language. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul, the Senate stripped that language out. But the fight isn’t over — this fall, Congress is expected to negotiate a major “minibus” spending package, during which the ban proponents are pressing to reinsert the THC ban.
What Would Be Affected?
- All consumable hemp products with any measurable THC — oils, tinctures, soft chews, etc.
- Hemp extract industry businesses: manufacturers, retailers, pet supplement brands.
- Consumers relying on hemp products for wellness, pets, or other purposes.
Why It Matters to You
If passed, this would not just ban many products — it would heavily restrict freedom of choice. It could also disrupt supply chains, cause economic losses, and force many small businesses to shut down. Hemp Well and many others are prepared — but only your voice can make the difference.
