What happened
The multibillion-dollar market for hemp products, including THC gummies and smokable cannabis flowers, faces potential elimination due to Congress closing loopholes in federal law. Advocates for the industry and some lawmakers are currently working to forge a compromise regarding hemp regulation. A short-term government funding bill signed by President Donald Trump last month delayed the effective date of the hemp THC ban from November 12 to December 11.

Why it matters
The industry is caught between the potential for a federal ban and the need for new regulations to govern the products. The viability of the hemp market hinges on whether lawmakers can reach a deal before the December deadlines.
