Two states, two veering on hemp in light of the looming federal ban:
NJ passed a bill extending sales an extra four weeks to December.
The IL Department of Revenue says that all hemp-derived products containing >0.4mg of THC will be classified as "cannabis" under state law and can only be sold through regulated cannabis channels. Enforcement kicks in on November 12.
The federal ban lands in December, unless Congress steps in.

Replying to @JDerevyanny @SeanKiernan_WFW
"So when society makes a set of rules [the Controlled Substances Act] and [the businesses you invest in] break those rules...no punishment? Nothing happens?"
Lots of calling out a "loophole" around here from guys who rely on the many-years-rescined loophole called the Cole Memo.

IDOA released an informational bulletin for all businesses possessing or selling consumable or topical hemp products.
Illinois plans to begin enforcement of the Illinois Hemp Act on Nov. 12, 2026, regardless of federal enforcement.

NEW: A DEA judge is ordering the agency to respond to marijuana rescheduling opponents' request to reopen a hearing on the proposal for additional testimony and document discovery—saying "this matter remains STAYED to allow time for a response and to allow time for the tribunal to consider the pending motions."

NEW: DEA is fine with reopening the marijuana rescheduling hearing record to include a government report that's critical of the federal drug review process—and opponents filed a new brief seeking to further delay a decision by more broadly reopening testimony and document discovery.
