The Hemp Round Table
U.S. Hemp Roundtable Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order
Today, President Trump issued a strong, pro-hemp Executive Order with significant implications for the future of the U.S. hemp industry. In response, we have released the following statement.
U.S. Hemp Roundtable Statement
The U.S. hemp industry is deeply grateful to President Trump for issuing his strong pro-hemp Executive Order today. While the headlines of the announcement will focus on marijuana rescheduling – which is a positive in itself, for any cannabis reform benefits the entire plant – we are especially pleased to see the provisions that direct the White House staff and urge Congress to ensure access to hemp-derived, full-spectrum CBD products, a lifeblood of the industry. We are also thrilled to see the development of a model that would allow a number of Medicare beneficiaries to receive CBD under doctor recommendation at no cost.
We consider this Executive Order to be a direct rebuke to the hemp ban that was malignly attached to legislation that reopened government. This also gives strong impetus to efforts to extend the ban’s moratorium an additional 18 months to allow proper time for Congress and the Trump Administration to develop the regulatory framework that ensures the safe provision of hemp products while cracking down on the bad actors peddling the unsafe products that the Executive Order calls out.
We look forward to working with the President, his staff, HHS, and Congress in the coming months to ensure the bipartisan vision of a safe, legal, and regulated hemp extract industry.
What Next?
What’s Happening Now
I’ve pulled together the latest reporting on how the hemp industry and its allies are responding to the new federal “hemp‑derived THC” ban that was tacked onto the recent spending bill.
What’s happening on the ground
1. A coordinated lobbying push – The U.S. Hemp Roundtable and dozens of hemp‑industry trade groups have announced a “365‑day‑to‑regulate” campaign. They are mobilizing members, hiring lobbyists and launching a grassroots outreach effort aimed at persuading Congress to replace the ban with a clear federal regulatory framework thehill.com .
2. Draft regulatory legislation – Rep. Morgan Griffith (R‑VA) has circulated a draft bill that would create a detailed regulatory scheme for hemp‑derived products, set specific milligram thresholds, require labeling and add a new chapter to the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act giving the FDA explicit authority thehill.com . The industry is urging lawmakers to introduce that bill before the one‑year “kill‑date” arrives.
3. Senator‑level opposition – Sen. Rand Paul (R‑KY) mounted a last‑minute amendment in the Senate to strip the THC‑ban language from the funding bill, warning that it would “kill an entire industry.” Although the amendment was defeated, Paul has said he will continue to press for a repeal houstonchronicle.com .
4. Veterans & consumer‑advocacy groups – Texas veterans’ groups (VFW, VFW of the U.S.) have drafted a letter to congressional leaders urging them to keep “solid scientific research” on THC products and to consider a more nuanced, regulatory approach rather than an outright ban expressnews.com .
5. State‑level pressure – More than 30 state attorneys general signed a letter supporting the ban, but a parallel coalition of state‑level hemp growers and business councils (e.g., the Texas Hemp Business Council) is preparing legal and political challenges, arguing the ban would devastate state tax revenues and jobs axios.com , thehill.com .
6. FDA timeline as a leverage point – The law gives the FDA 90 days to publish a list of prohibited natural and synthetic cannabinoids and define what counts as a “container.” Industry groups are using that window to push for a science‑based rulemaking rather than a blanket prohibition thehill.com .
Bottom line: While the ban is now law, the hemp sector is actively lobbying, drafting replacement legislation, pressuring key senators, and mobilizing consumer‑ and veteran‑advocacy groups to force Congress to either repeal the ban or replace it with a regulated framework before the one‑year effective date.
