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.

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.
