Senate Rejects Budd’s Hemp Ban Amendment | TDR Cannabis in 5

from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group

The hemp fight in Washington just got even more intense. In this episode of TDR Cannabis in 5, host Shadd Dales breaks down reporting from Marijuana Moment on the Senate’s rejection of Ted Budd’s amendment, which would’ve kept the hemp-THC ban locked in for November 12.The Senate voted 61-32 to table Budd’s amendment, then passed the full funding bill 90-6 with a delay still included, pushing the ban’s effective date from November 12 to December 11, assuming the House passes it and the president signs it. Shadd walks through why this is splitting senior Republicans publicly, one camp wants the ban enforced immediately with no more delays, the other wants a real regulatory framework instead of an outright ban, and both sides believe they’re protecting consumers and businesses.One thing isn’t changing regardless of the delay, synthetic cannabinoids are still banned starting November 12. That means converted delta-8, THC-O, THCP, and the broader gas-station loophole market are done no matter what happens with the rest of the bill. Shadd gets into why this marks the first real separation between legitimate hemp operators and the synthetic loophole crowd, and what the next month looks like as this fight inside the GOP keeps escalating rather than settling down.A closer look at a policy fight that’s far from over.00:00:00 — Hemp Fight Escalates in Washington00:00:43 — Senate Rejects Ted Budd Amendment00:01:18 — Hemp Ban Delayed One Month00:01:32 — Hemp Policy Splits Republicans00:02:06 — Republicans Push Regulation Over Ban00:02:42 — Synthetic Cannabinoid Ban Moves Forward00:03:31 — Legitimate Hemp vs. Synthetics00:03:44 — Hemp Battle Heads to Washington00:04:09 — Hemp Fight Set to Escalate#TDRCannabisIn5 #HempBan #Delta8 #GOPSplit #HempRegulation #CannabisPolicy #CannabisNews #SyntheticCannabinoids #TedBudd #FederalHempPolicy #CannabisIndustry #Trump #TrumpAdministrationWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Hemp Fight Threatens Government Shutdown |...  🎬    • Trump Administration Pushes Back on Hemp B...  🎬    • Talarico Calls Texas Hemp Ban “Insane” | T...  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.
