Manifold MarketsRules
In November 2025, Congress passed – and the President signed – a government funding package (including the Agriculture–FDA bill) used to end the federal shutdown.
- That law includes a provision that redefines “hemp” under federal law in a way that is expected to wipe out most intoxicating hemp-derived THC products sold outside state-licensed marijuana systems, such as delta-8 gummies, THCa “hemp” flower, vapes, and many THC seltzers.
- These new hemp limits do not directly affect state-licensed marijuana dispensaries, which remain governed by state cannabis law; they mainly target hemp-branded products sold in general retail and online.
- The new statute does two key things for consumer hemp products intended for humans or animals:
- It narrows the hemp definition so “intermediate” hemp-derived products can’t contain synthesized/chemically converted cannabinoids and can’t exceed 0.3% total THC (counting delta-9, THCa, and similar intoxicating cannabinoids).
- It bans “final” hemp products that either contain synthesized cannabinoids or have more than about 0.4 mg total THC/THCa (and similar cannabinoids) per finished consumer container, which industry groups argue would criminalize most of today’s intoxicating hemp ingestibles and many “full-spectrum” CBD items.
