Hundreds of hemp business owners, employees, and advocates gathered at the North Carolina General Assembly to oppose a bill they claim would eliminate most of their products and jeopardize thousands of jobs in the state.

The Texas ban on several THC products, effective Friday, is being criticized by Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico as a 'gift to the cartels.' Republican opponent Ken Paxton, the state's Attorney General, has previously sued Texas cities for decriminalizing marijuana.

Texas has implemented a new ban on certain THC products, effective July 31, 2026. The ban was discussed on a recent show alongside weekly news segments.

Two Tennessee men were arrested for allegedly selling mushroom edibles and marijuana to minors. Authorities found drugs, THC products, and over $25,000 during searches of their home and charged them with multiple drug-related offenses, including violating a drug-free school zone.

Delta 8 and other THC products will be banned in Texas starting July 31. The restrictions align with efforts by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Texas Republicans to implement an outright ban.

Former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf warned that Chinese-linked actors and foreign criminal organizations are exploiting the U.S. hemp industry to distribute high-potency THC products, posing public health and national security risks. He cited evidence of these groups operating large-scale, unlicensed cultivation operations, particularly in Oklahoma, and linked them to broader criminal activities like human trafficking and money laundering.

America’s hemp industry is facing federal and state crackdowns that could eliminate most THC and CBD products and reshape the cannabis market. The crackdowns signal a reversal of the hemp boom that previously influenced cannabis laws.
