Hemp Provision in Spending Bill Could Kill Legit Industry (regarding rand paul promoting hemp)

**Breitbart | Nov 14, 2025 | Lowell Cauffiel**

The hemp industry is gearing up for a lobbying effort following a provision in the recent government funding package that aims to stop the sale of intoxicating hemp products. However, this measure could inadvertently destroy a legitimate $28 billion industry and eliminate 300,000 American jobs.

The new ban, tucked into the spending bill, prohibits products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. It is primarily aimed at stopping the sale of intoxicating products often found in gas stations and convenience stores.

While the spending bill was still in the Senate, Sen. Rand Paul voiced concerns over this provision.
