What will a ban on most US hemp products mean?

Ban forbids all products that contain more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per package - a trace amount present in most CBD products

The US hemp industry is preparing for a ban on most hemp products that Senator Mitch McConnell slipped into the spending bill just before the Senate voted to pass it and end the government shutdown.

Many in the industry have criticized the last-minute change, arguing that it should have been subject to open hearings rather than added at the last minute to a bill whose passage was essential for the government reopening. The ban, which goes into effect 12 months after the law's passage, forbids all products that contain more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per package - a trace amount that is present in most CBD products, not just those whose primary component is THC.
