Is CBD Going To Be Banned? Updated August 24, 2026: Most headlines about the coming federal hemp crackdown focus on products such as Delta-8, THCA flower, THC gummies and intoxicating hemp beverages. But there is another part of this story that could affect a much larger group of consumers: ordinary CBD products. CBD itself is not simply being declared illegal by Congress. That distinction is important. However, the new federal definition of hemp contains an extraordinarily low limit for THC i …

Is A Hemp THC Ban Coming? Updated August 2026: The fight over America's hemp industry just became even more politically complicated. A bipartisan coalition of 35 attorneys general representing 34 states and one U.S. territory is urging congressional leaders not to back away from the sweeping federal restrictions on intoxicating hemp products scheduled to begin later this year. Their message to Congress is essentially this: Don't delay the crackdown. Don't reopen the loophole. Let the new hemp …

Will THCA Become Illegal?   Updated August 2026: If you buy THCA flower, work in the hemp industry, own a smoke shop or have been following cannabis law online, you've probably seen two different dates being thrown around: November 12, 2026 December 11, 2026 So which date is actually the federal THCA deadline? Right now, November 12, 2026 remains the effective date written into enacted federal law. But the U.S. Senate has now passed a government funding measure containing language …

People ask me this constantly, and the honest answer is: it depends entirely on how you dab, not on which one is "better." The short answer is that the $220 Puffco Peak covers casual and regular dabbers, while the $420 Puffco Peak Pro 3DXL earns the extra $200 only if you dab daily, want noticeably bigger vapor, and will actually use the app's temperature profiles. I've watched plenty of people buy the Pro and use it like a regular Peak, and plenty of others use every bit of what it offers. Let' …

THC Drinks Future In Peril Updated August 2026: Just when it appeared that the rapidly growing hemp-derived THC beverage industry could be heading toward a federal cliff, Congress has opened another possible path. A new bipartisan proposal in the U.S. House would allow qualifying hemp-derived THC beverages to remain federally legal while creating something the industry has been asking Washington for: a real regulatory system. Instead of treating a can containing a few milligrams of hemp-derive …

Intoxicating Hemp Ban Delay Updated August 10, 2026: The federal battle over hemp-derived THC just took another major turn. The U.S. Senate has approved legislation containing a temporary delay of the federal crackdown that threatens to remove most intoxicating hemp products from the legal hemp market. The move could push the critical deadline from November 12, 2026 to December 11, 2026. That may sound like only a few extra weeks. Politically, however, those weeks could become extremely import …

THCA Flower explained in detail If you've spent any time inside a smoke shop, browsed hemp websites, or followed cannabis discussions online over the last few years, you've probably seen a product that confused a lot of people: THCA flower. It can look like marijuana. It can smell like marijuana. It comes from the same cannabis plant. And once it's heated, it can produce effects associated with traditional THC-rich cannabis. Yet for years, THCA flower was openly sold online and in stores across …

You found a pack of gummies in the back of your drawer. The expiration date passed three months ago. They still look fine. They don't smell strange. Now you're wondering... Are they still good? It's one of the most common questions cannabis consumers ask. Unlike flower, cannabis edibles don't suddenly become unusable overnight. In many cases, they're still perfectly fine after the printed date—but that doesn't mean they'll taste the same, have the same texture, or deliver the same experien …

You finally crack open a jar of cannabis you've been saving for weeks. The aroma seems a little different. Maybe the flower looks fuzzier than you remember. There are tiny white spots buried inside the buds. Or perhaps it smells musty instead of fresh. Immediately the question pops into your head... How can you tell if weed has mold? Moldy cannabis may show white fuzz, gray web-like growth, powdery patches, dark spots, or unusual discoloration. A musty or mildew-like smell is another common war …

Ohio Stores Can Sell CBD and Hemp THC Products Again...For Now. Ohio's hemp market has gone through several dramatic changes in only a few months. First, state lawmakers passed Senate Bill 56, a sweeping cannabis law that changed the definition of legal hemp and effectively removed many hemp-derived THC products from ordinary smoke shops, CBD stores, beverage retailers, convenience stores, and online sellers. Then businesses sued. A federal judge temporarily blocked Ohio officials from enforcing …
