Cannabis Industry Roundup – November 25, 2025

One week after the federal hemp THC ban was signed and the entire delta-8/9 drinks market is staring down a 364-day countdown to oblivion. Here’s everything that moved in the last 24 hours: • Hemp THC ban fallout: $28 B industry, 320 k jobs, and an entire aisle of gas-station gummies now have exactly one year left unless Congress acts. Big retailers already pulling products in VA/GA. • Rep. Nancy Mace just dropped a bill to fully repeal the Trump-signed hemp restrictions and restore the 2018 Farm Bill status quo. • Ohio House passes new bill that mirrors the federal hemp limits – basically recriminalizes parts of what voters legalized. • Colorado Gov. Polis goes scorched-earth on the GOP: “Funny way of showing support for business & jobs.” • Rhode Island: Only 38 % of social-equity license applicants (people actually harmed by the drug war) qualified for the next round. • Quick hits: – Massachusetts just doubled the personal possession limit – Texas Ag Commissioner fighting the federal hemp ban – Conservative group begging SCOTUS to take an interstate-commerce cannabis case Feels like every state is speed-running its own version of the same panic attack. What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen pulled from shelves in your area already? How long do you give delta-8/9 drinks before they’re gone for good?
