Hemp Industry Strikes Back

A protest scene outside the U.S. Capitol at golden hour, with a close-up of a hand holding a large black and yellow sign that reads “HEMP INDUSTRY STRIKES BACK.” Beside it, a tall hemp plant is held above the crowd, its leaves lit dramatically by the sun. Protesters fill the background, carrying signs opposing a hemp ban. The Pot Culture Magazine logo and ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept appear along the bottom.

Congress slipped a hemp ban into a shutdown bill and triggered a nationwide fight that threatens farmers, small operators, veterans, and a twenty eight billion dollar market. Hemp Industry Strikes Back exposes the misinformation behind the vote and the yearlong battle now forming in courts, statehouses, and rural communities across the country.

HEMP 2018-2025

A scorched field at dusk with small hemp plants growing behind yellow crime scene tape. The headline reads “HEMP 2018–2025.” Text explains that Congress is quietly criminalizing hemp-derived THC through changes in a spending bill that could eliminate delta 8, delta 10, and full-spectrum products. Pot Culture Magazine branding appears at the bottom.

Congress just buried hemp inside the 2025 spending bill, redefining the crop to outlaw hemp-derived THC products that built a $28 billion market. Farmers, brands, and workers face erasure without a vote or debate. Pot Culture Magazine exposes how lawmakers quietly re-criminalized hemp and why voices from Cheech & Chong to NORML say this fight is far from over.

The War on Scottish Hemp

A Pot Culture Magazine feature image titled “The War on Scottish Hemp.” The headline appears in bold yellow and white text over a photograph of a farmer’s hands inspecting a tall hemp plant in a lush green field. The Scottish Highlands and a cloudy evening sky form the background. Branding along the bottom reads “PotCultureMagazine.com | ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept.

Scotland’s farmers are ready to revive hemp, but Westminster says no. This feature exposes how outdated UK drug laws cripple sustainable agriculture and block economic opportunity. From ruined leaves to crushed profits, it’s a bureaucratic war on a zero-high crop. Farmers, researchers, and rebels are pushing back with seed, science, and stubbornness.

The South’s Quiet Cannabis Rebellion

An American flag waves in front of a Southern-style government building at sunset, with a large cannabis leaf overlay in the foreground. The text reads “The South’s Quiet Cannabis Shift,” under the category tag “Politics.” The image represents shifting attitudes toward cannabis reform in southern U.S. states. PotCultureMagazine.com and ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept appear at the bottom.

Across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, quiet legalization is replacing old fear. Dispensaries open, hemp farms thrive, and police turn away from small possession. Lawmakers who once preached prohibition now profit from regulation. The Bible Belt’s cannabis rebellion is alive and growing, and the South is no longer waiting for Washington to catch up.
