The Federal Hemp Ban Is Coming – Are You Prepared?
⚠️ With HR 5371 advancing, hemp businesses must secure alternative licensing NOW to survive the coming regulatory changes.
The proposed Hemp THC Ban Act (HR 5371) will effectively eliminate 80-90% of current hemp products from the legal market. This isn't speculation – it's legislative reality. But there's a solution that doesn't involve shutting down your business.
The Regulatory Shift: From 2018 Farm Bill to HR 5371
The Original 2018 Farm Bill Definition
"The term 'hemp' means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis."
– 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act
The New Definition Under HR 5371 (Hemp THC Ban Act)
"The term 'hemp' means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a total tetrahydrocannabinols concentration (including tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis."
– Proposed HR 5371 Language
Impact Analysis:
This eliminates THCA flower, Delta-8, Delta-10, and most hemp-derived cannabinoids currently sold. 80-90% of current hemp products would become illegal under federal law.
