Ted Cruz Says Hemp Ban Reversal Faces Uphill Battle | TDR Cannabis in 5

In our latest TDR Cannabis in Five presented by Flowhub, host Shadd Dales breaks down what is quickly becoming one of the biggest policy stories impacting both the hemp and cannabis industries in the United States.Earlier this week on Trade To Black, Michael Bronstein warned that the odds of Congress reversing the anticipated federal hemp THC crackdown before November were becoming increasingly unlikely.Now Senator Ted Cruz is echoing that same reality.According to a new Marijuana Moment report, Cruz admitted stopping the federal hemp THC ban this year would be an “uphill path” politically — even while criticizing Congress for how aggressively lawmakers handled the hemp industry.That’s important because this is no longer just speculation.The framework for the crackdown is already moving forward.Starting November 12, federal rules are expected to shift from measuring only delta-9 THC to measuring total THC content, which could dramatically impact products involving THCA, Delta-8, and other intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids currently sold across the country.Shadd also explains why Mitch McConnell remains one of the most influential figures in this entire story. While McConnell helped legalize hemp through the 2018 Farm Bill, he’s now become one of the biggest forces behind closing what lawmakers call the hemp loophole.The biggest question now?What happens if a massive amount of consumer demand suddenly shifts away from smoke shops and unregulated retail stores and back into state-regulated cannabis markets?Because if this crackdown moves forward as expected, the ripple effects across the entire cannabis industry could become enormous.#Cannabis #Hemp #Delta8 #THCA #TedCruz #MitchMcConnell #CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #TradeToBlack #FlowhubWant to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Trump Faces Pressure Over Federal Marijuan...  🎬    • Federal Judge Rejects SAM Lawsuit | TDR Ca...  🎬    • Cannabis Uplisting May Not Need Congress |...  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.
