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.
