General Discussion

You may have seen headlines this week about new federal hemp legislation. We wanted to explain what’s happening, and what it means for you.

Earlier this week, Congress passed and President Trump signed a Continuing Resolution (CR) to reopen the government. Unfortunately, the bill included anti-hemp language that would restrict all hemp-derived products.

It’s important to note: this wasn’t a vote on hemp, it was a vote to reopen the government. With critical funding for SNAP benefits and federal worker pay hanging in the balance, some lawmakers used that pressure to slip in anti-hemp provisions. (politics, amiright?)

The backlash has been swift and strong. Lawmakers from both parties, alongside industry groups, advocates, and a growing public spotlight, are now pushing for sensible regulation rather than an outright ban. We expect to see significant legislative activity in the coming months, and when the time comes to make your voice heard, we’ll share clear, simple ways to help.

The good news: these changes do not take effect for one full year, until November 13, 2026. Twelve months is a meaningful time to make progress, and we’ll be doing everything we can to ensure you keep access to the products you love well beyond that.

Until then, the 2018 Farm Bill remains in place, which means all hemp products containing less than 0.3% THC are still federally legal. That includes every Dad Grass product, so nothing changes for you.

We’ll keep working closely with our partners and tracking developments in Washington. As things evolve, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

In the meantime, you can shop, order, and enjoy Dad Grass as usual.

Thanks for being part of the Dad Grass community, your trust and support mean the world to us.

Have an amazing weekend,
