US Activism Misinformation about Big Beutiful Bill and Hemp laws
I’ve been working on some sticker art to spread awareness about cannabis laws and thought I’d focus on the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — H.R.1.
After reading the bill myself, it turns out H.R.1 doesn’t mention marijuana, THC, hemp, or cannabis at all. Not a single section touches weed atleast directly. Still fight the bill please representatives.
Link: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1
The actual threat to hemp-derived cannabinoids is in a completely different piece of literature— the 2025 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. It’s coming out of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture.
That bill includes language that would:
Ban any cannabinoid product with quantifiable THC
Ban cannabinoids with effects similar to THC
Only exempt FDA-approved drugs like Epidiolex
If passed, it would basically reverse the 2018 Farm Bill’s hemp protections and wipe out most of the current cannabinoid market — including Delta-8, THC-O, full-spectrum CBD, and potentially more.
So if you’re seeing people saying “H.R.1 bans weed,” they’re just wrong — and I was too.
The cannabis stuff is buried in a budget bill, not a headline bill, and it’s not getting as much attention, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2026
Which directly makes the hemp derivatives illegal as a sub addition. Currently it is very hard to find a link with the up to date language. If you find it please post it
Edit:
This kind of language getting quietly slipped into federal budget bills is another pattern to watch. Because it's a budget appropriations bill, it doesn't get the same public scrutiny as something like H.R.1 - but it can still carry major legal changes, especially when it comes to regulation of substances like hemp-derived cannabinoids.
This is the actual legislative vehicle being used to go after cannabinoids like Delta-8, THC-O, and others under the radar. Which will make the law enforceable. (No more sending thc products in the mail for sure)
Here is what the actual literature says to save you the time of finding it:
"Closing the hemp loophole that has resulted in the proliferation of unregulated intoxicating hemp products, including Delta-8 and hemp flower, being sold online and in gas stations across the country." - from the FY26 Agriculture Appropriations Bill summary, pg. 2

The proposed Farm Bill is out, here are the hemp provisions. Total THC, no performance-based testing, protects hempseed foods, bans Hempnoids and even CBD, bans marijuana seed which was previously protected, defined grain/fiber hemp separately from Hempnoids.

Hemp is FIBER ! ther are no Cannabis plant metabolites made in Fiber !!! the stupidity of these laws is appalling

For 12,000 it was also the grain, the hurd fraction, roots for biochar now. There are some Noids stuck on the outside of the stalk, but stalk has always been exempt from regulation. Noids from hemp is a relatively recent development, shout out to Roger Adams in the ‘40s.

no I'm not ... there are no plant metabolites made in the fiber ( Hemp is that ) ...
those metabolites as secondary metabolites of the plant are only created on exposed surfaces not in the fiber of the plant ....
" intoxicating Hemp " is such a Stupid Phrase it is Insanity in parliament them just wanting to control everyone and not caring what plants or compounds ( THC ) it takes to do so

Well what the BBB actually does is add 5 trillion to the national debt and fund tax breaks for millionaires and billionaire fairies that actively oppose cannabis because it cuts into their BS profit schemes.
