Hemp Ban Delay Sparks GOP Divide | US News

The House braces for a political showdown as hemp-derived intoxicants, like delta-8 gummies and drinks, face a delayed ban—pushed from November 12 to December 11 alongside a government funding bill. While most Senate Republicans backed the delay, 21 voted against it, exposing deep party divisions over unregulated products flooding the market. Conservative House members call them dangerous, hospital-triggering marijuana imposters, demanding a shutdown of this loophole born from the 2018 farm bill. With a government shutdown looming if the provision is removed, House leaders may need Democratic support to pass anything—and the hemp industry, brewers, and retailers are fighting back, warning a full ban could collapse a booming multi-billion-dollar sector.
