HEMP PROHIBITION FOR BEGINNERS 📝🌱 On November 10th, 2025 - @SenMcConnell sneakily inserted language into the appropriations bill (the one that ended the record-long government shutdown) that will ban hemp-derived products nationwide, effective November 2026. McConnell's prohibition will devastate the entire $28B hemp market - including CBD and safe, low-dose THC products that the industry is built on. It's a knee-jerk overreaction to a few bad actors (synthetics, gas station products, etc). The hemp industry does need better regulation to eliminate these bad actors, but prohibition is beyond reckless. McConnell bypassed honest debate by quietly slipping his prohibition into a must-pass spending bill. The consequences of this carelessness are catastrophic to a young, promising American industry. WHY THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN SHOULD CARE 🇺🇸👨‍🌾 The U.S. hemp industry is a rare rural success story: a multi-billion dollar sector built on Main Street America - not in elite tech/AI hubs. It has created over 300,000 jobs for farmers, manufacturers, scientists, and retail workers - spread across small towns nationwide. This growth is driven by consumer demand for CBD and low-dose THC products, giving small farmers and businesses a real shot at success in a booming market. I co-founded BATCH, one of these businesses. We employ 25 proud Wisconsinites and sustain dozens more American jobs through direct partnerships with farmers, suppliers, and others. Our business will be wiped out by McConnell’s prohibition, along with over 90% of the hemp industry. Equally vital: millions of Americans will lose access to the CBD and low-dose THC products they've come to trust for everyday wellness—better sleep, stress relief, and natural recovery. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT & HOW YOU CAN HELP🙏 For over a year, we’ve been fighting alongside industry leaders & sensible lawmakers for smart, science-backed rules that keep consumers safe and keep hemp accessible. Necessary regulation will need to include third-party lab testing, clear labeling, age verification, and potency caps. Our fight will continue despite this setback. The good news is that we have until November, 2026 to align with lawmakers on safe, sensible regulations for our industry. The media and politicians are starting to pay attention to this important issue. @SenRandPaul has been a champion of the hemp industry, and bipartisan support from Senators @SenTedCruz and @SenJeffMerkley has begun to surface All we ask is your awareness of this issue. It would be greatly appreciated, but not expected, for you to make your voice heard. In the near future, we'll let you know how to voice your concern to your congressmen Statistics often feel distant and easy to ignore—until you're the one they describe. Right now, that's us: over 300,000 Main Street jobs hang in the balance, along with consumers' access to safe, reliable products from honest stakeholders in the hemp industry.
