Whether you like Senator Rand Paul or not, he is 100% correct on his assessment of the new hemp ban. Sen. Paul argued the provision was added to a must-pass bill to avoid debate and would shut down most of the hemp industry. In September 2025, President Trump posted a video to his truth social account that promoted the benefits of hemp-derived CBD for seniors, highlighting its potential to improve quality of life and act as an alternative to costly prescription drugs. So what has changed since then? The answer is not surprising. Lobbyists pushed hard for this legislation between September and November 2025. Lobbyists cited consumer risks associated with intoxicating cannabinoid products and unfair competition favoring THC hemp products. However, instead of banning the intoxicating hemp products, industry estimates suggest 90-95% of ingestible hemp products, including CBD oils, would be wiped out due to the new law. Why are Americans being deprived of the pain relieving benefits of CBD? Why would Congress ban CBD products that potentially provide substantial savings in annual healthcare costs and reduce reliance on prescription drugs for conditions like epilepsy or arthritis? Lastly, in a time where we need to put Americans first, it is extremely concerning that Congress would pass this law, knowing it would lead to a loss of roughly 300,000 jobs across our nation. courier-journal.com/story/op…
