A federal hemp ban would devastate American farmers and small businesses while pushing products into unregulated markets.
My Hemp Safety Enforcement Act takes a smarter approach:
✅ States choose their own hemp regulations
✅ Synthetic cannabinoids banned across the board
✅ Consumer protections without an outright prohibition
✅ No more Washington dictating policy to the states
✅ No more one-size-fits-all federal overreach
That's how you protect people and an industry at the same time.
🚨Big News on Hemp: Introducing the Hemp Safety Enforcement Act
Congress's last-minute revival of hemp prohibition, included in last year's Continuing Appropriations Act, would ban most hemp products and wipe out the multi-billion-dollar industry, while depriving individuals of products they depend upon to improve sleep, relieve anxiety, and alleviate pain.
My bill would protect thousands of jobs, family farms, and safe access for veterans and seniors.
Rand Paul Slams Alcohol And Marijuana Interests Over Federal Hemp Ban, Announcing He'll File A Bill To Reverse It Next Week: "I have people come up to me on the floor of the Senate, and they said, 'Well, my mom takes a gummy to sleep at night.'"

Only in Washington would the alcohol lobby, the cannabis lobby, and stone-age lawmakers still fixated on Reefer Madness join forces to attack hemp.
I don’t object to a 5mg gummy that helps someone’s grandmom sleep. It makes no sense.
Joe Rogan Slams 'Really Bad' Federal Hemp Ban Trump Signed, Blaming Alcohol Industry For Influencing Congress: "It's the same people that are trying to keep marijuana illegal in Texas. It's the alcohol lobby."

"The hemp thing" is such a disaster that even @joeroganhq is talking about the misguided move from @SenMcConnell.
Contact Congress & tell them to SAVE the industry: https://t.co/NvcFObM7Fg
People like this are precisely the ones I was fighting for when the hemp ban language was snuck into the bill to reopen the government.

Kyle Turley, former NFL offense tackle and pro bowler, on Hill lobbying against hemp restrictions Congress included in bill to reopen the govt.
“This is something that is helping people, not hurting people. This is not killing kids, this is saving kids.”
@InsidePolitics Sunday
The Government just fucked my family's livelihood.
Literally destroyed it overnight with the Hemp provision.
I will not be voting in 2026 or 2028.
The GOP sucks and will sell out to lobbies and Big donors at the expense of the American people.
Fuck the Government.
“Omg Martha, the hemp bill just closes a loophole, no big deal!”
1. It takes the right from states and gives it to the federal government (meaning they can do this for other issues)
2. It will end a multibillion dollar industry because a few politicians got a fat paycheck
3. Thousands of people will be unemployed
If any of this is ok with you, you’re not “MAGA” you’re just a being played by politicians.
At least they’re getting paid. You’re getting F’ed and thanking them for it.
The hemp ban is devastating farms, small businesses, and communities.
But this fight isn’t over – not if we stand together.
💥 Add your voice.
💥 Demand common-sense regulation.

Senator Mitch Mcconell slipped in a provision to the federal government funding bill that will outlaw over 99% of the hemp market in exactly one year!
How did this happen? Can we stop or prevent it? And how can you help? We'll be answering all of your questions as we continue to breakdown the situation!
A little-noticed provision tucked into the federal spending bill signed by President Trump could upend a booming industry — by banning many THC-infused products, like gummies, drinks, topical pain relief and vapes.

One lesser seen side of the bill that reopened the government was a ban targeting the sale of hemp.
@JimHigdon tells me that provision is a mistake. "Hemp products have become incredibly popular" and "especially among older adults."
