ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — While most of the public attention on the newly passed federal funding bill has centered on air travel delays and furloughed workers, a lesser-known provision tucked inside the legislation is sending shockwaves through the hemp industry: a ban on nearly all hemp-derived products.
At the center of the issue is THC — the psychoactive compound in cannabis and hemp responsible for producing a high. 
Millard explained that even common items like CBD tinctures, which are generally small, would fall above the new limit.
“Even one dropper of a full spectrum CBD would have, somewhere between, half a milligram to maybe, one milligram of THC,” he said.
Hemp became federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, signed by President Donald Trump. 
That law removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and legalized all parts of the plant as long as products contained no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC.
However, industry leaders say lawmakers did not anticipate how extraction techniques would evolve.
“What he didn’t know or anticipate, and neither did most lawmakers, is that guys in hazmat suits and scientists were actually going to figure out how to spin the plant and extract psychotropic THC out of out of the hemp plant and create psychotropic products,” said Nick Garulay, owner of the medical marijuana service provider My Florida Green and RevitaOil CBD.
Garulay said this loophole opened the door to products containing extremely high THC levels — far beyond what most patients use.
“The normal dose for THC, for someone who is looking for relief is usually between 5 and 10 milligrams. You have places that are selling a thousand and 10,000 milligram gummies, which will put you in the hospital, especially if you’re not expecting it,” he said.
The measure will not take effect until late next year, giving the industry time to respond.
The U.S. Hemp Roundtable, a national hemp advocacy organization, said it plans to spend the next 365 days pushing federal officials to pursue regulation rather than prohibition.
