Nancy Mace files legislation to strike hemp ban tucked into funding bill

Published



Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) filed a bill on Thursday to repeal hemp-banning language that was passed as part of the deal to end the government shutdown, the congresswoman’s office told the Washington Examiner.

Mace’s bill, titled the American Hemp Protection Act of 2025, would strike a provision that is set to drastically cut down the legal threshold of THC, the psychoactive compound in the plant, allowed in hemp products. The provision was passed as part of the agriculture-related minibus of the shutdown deal and would ban about 95% of all available hemp products in the United States.
