The Marijuana Policy Project is pressing Congress to stop the federal hemp THC ban from taking effect, and this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by FRE, looks at what that push signals.
Host Shadd Dales covers MPP’s action alert urging supporters to contact their senators and representatives, with a simple message: regulate these products, don’t ban them.
MPP is calling for a comprehensive framework covering potency, laboratory testing, labeling, age restrictions and consumer safety. It cites figures showing the hemp market supports more than 225,000 jobs and has generated at least $28 billion in tax revenue, and it warns that roughly 95 percent of existing hemp products could become illegal. The episode also covers why parts of the licensed marijuana industry have backed restrictions, since hemp THC products compete with operators facing higher taxes and tighter rules.
On the legislative side, the episode runs through proposals from Rep. Andy Barr, a hemp THC beverage framework from Rep. Beth Van Duyne and Rep. Greg Landsman, and delay-and-protect legislation circulating from House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
It also looks at the White House position on full-spectrum CBD and the growing involvement of the National Restaurant Association and Target.
