- A provision in a government funding bill threatens to shut down the hemp industry by setting a low THC limit.
- Nearly all current hemp products would become illegal under the new 0.4 milligrams of THC per container limit.
- The bill changes the definition of hemp plants, making existing crops illegal and harming farmers.
- Sen. Rand Paul argues the provision was added to a must-pass bill to avoid debate and undermines state regulations.
- Hemp farmers face financial ruin as the bill wipes out their investments and market opportunities.
- Paul vows to continue advocating for hemp farmers and consumers against the restrictive measures.
