The U.S. House on Tuesday passed a stopgap spending measure that delays new federal restrictions on hemp-derived THC products from November 12 to December 11. This move buys the booming THC beverage industry, which saw $239 million in U.S. retail sales in the past year (up 135%), another month to lobby lawmakers for a regulatory framework. Uncertainty around a potential ban has already led to layoffs and distributors pulling back from stocking inventory.
