Hemp Fight Threatens Government Shutdown | TDR Cannabis in 5

The U.S. government could be on the edge of a shutdown, and the fight causing it isn’t cannabis legalization or federal scheduling, it’s hemp. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down reporting from Jeremy Berke at Yahoo Finance on how hemp-derived THC regulation has split the Senate GOP and could shut down the government right before the midterms.Trump reportedly called Senate Republicans this week asking for a four-week delay on the federal hemp THC ban, just enough time for Congress to build a real regulatory framework instead of rushing something that affects farmers, retailers, and millions of consumers. That request immediately divided Republicans, with Rand Paul pushing back on an immediate ban and Ted Budd leading 13 cosponsors willing to block the entire funding bill if the ndelay isn’t removed. Shadd walks through how the Senate parliamentarian ruled Budd’s amendment germane, meaning it only needs a simple majority, and why Democrats like Kirsten Gillibrand are already signaling support.The episode also breaks down what the proposed framework actually changes, a ban on synthetic cannabinoids like converted delta-8 and THC-O, and a dry-weight THC limit that raises real questions about how easily it could be manipulated. We also get into the bigger trust gap between licensed cannabis operators, who’ve spent years under strict compliance, and parts of the hemp industry built around avoiding regulation altogether.A closer look at how hemp became the unlikely fight threatening to shut down the government.00:00:00 — Hemp Fight Threatens Shutdown00:00:37 — Washington’s Hemp Standoff00:02:32 — Can Hemp Be Trusted?00:04:15 — New Hemp Regulations Explained00:05:01 — Dry Weight Loophole Problem00:06:34 — Hemp’s Bigger Political Fight00:07:22 — Could Hemp Shut Government?00:08:17 — THC Beverages Have Future#TrumpAdministration #HempRegulation #GovernmentShutdown #Delta8 #HempIndustry #CannabisPolicy #CannabisNews #FederalHempPolicy #TrumpCannabis #HempReform #Cannabis #CannabisIndustry #CannabisNewsWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Trump Administration Pushes Back on Hemp B...  🎬    • Talarico Calls Texas Hemp Ban “Insane” | T...  🎬    • Daily Cannabis Use Passes Alcohol, Cigaret...  🎬    • Former AG Bill Barr Slams Cannabis Resched...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
