What is the proposed hemp ban legislation?

Legislation in Congress is being considered that would criminalize any hemp product containing THC, which would make most consumable hemp extracts illegal under federal law.

Who is Senator Rand Paul and what has he done in this fight?

Senator Rand Paul has warned that hemp could be banned in a matter of weeks. He helped strip ban language from earlier legislation passed in the House, but the fight returns this fall during negotiations of a major spending package.

What are consumable hemp products, and how would they be affected?

Consumable hemp products include oils, tinctures, soft chews, capsules, culinary extracts, etc. Over 95% of hemp consumables contain trace THC and would be rendered illegal if the proposed ban succeeds.

What action can I take?

You can contact your U.S. Representatives and Senators, spread awareness among your community, sign petitions, support advocacy groups, and alert industry associations to help oppose the legislation.

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.
