What's next for hemp companies ahead of federal THC prohibition?

With federal THC prohibition now on the clock, hemp operators are navigating an uncertain year ahead, from stockpiling product to lobbying for carveouts. Here's how the sector is bracing for 2026. Read story >

What This Means For You

• Operators: Hemp businesses face a one-year window to either stock up, pivot to compliant products or brace for enforcement as federal rules take shape.
• Consumers: Shoppers may see THCA flower and high-potency hemp products disappear first, with access varying widely by state as rules tighten.
• Investors: The sector is entering a volatile period where THCA-heavy models carry high risk, while compliant CBD and beverage companies may offer selective upside.
• Policymakers: Regulators must clarify enforcement, permissible cannabinoids and state-federal alignment to avoid widespread market disruption.
