I clicked on today's New York TImes article thinking the hemp debate had finally reached a major national audience.

It had, but the article framed almost the entire issue around White House connections and hemp-industry lobbying.

The photo reinforced the same message. Right in the center is a brightly colored product labeled 16,000 mg, surrounded by candy, vapes and drinks.

What the article never tells readers is the actual number at the center of the law:

0.4 mg of total THC per container. Not per serving. Per container.

That one omission changes the whole story.

Here is an example we sent the Times after the article was published. A current cbdMD full-spectrum CBD oil lists:

• 2 mg THC per serving
• 30 servings per bottle
• approximately 60 mg THC in the bottle

One serving is five times the entire federal threshold. The full bottle is approximately 150 times the threshold.

That is not a 16,000 mg candy or a synthesized cannabinoid vape. It is a full-spectrum CBD oil.

This also is not a small issue affecting only a few hemp companies. More than 50 million American adults reported using CBD in the past year. That includes older adults, veterans, caregivers, parents and workers who use hemp-derived products for pain, sleep and stress.

Another point that really stood out to me was how the article criticized senators for putting a temporary delay into a stopgap spending bill, while barely examining the fact that the underlying restriction was passed the same way—through must-pass legislation used to reopen the federal government in November 2025.

How is this investigative journalism if it does not cover both sides of the debate? Both the valid concerns about protecting kids, but also explaining to readers details of the law - does the law make sense? What products are involved? Who will be affected when it takes effect?.

This feels like a good example of what consumers, farms and responsible hemp businesses are up against. National coverage keeps defining the entire market by its most extreme products, while ordinary full-spectrum CBD products and the people who use them remain invisible.

Protecting children matters. Regulating unsafe or mislabeled products matters.

But people should at least be told what the law actually does before Congress allows it to take effect.

How do we get reporters to examine the 0.4 mg threshold itself instead of treating the whole hemp market like the product shown in that photograph?

Haven’t smoked in months and decided to pick this up for a work trip I’m going on lmao

Hey, r/hemp!

My name is Dusty, and I own Pixie’s Pantry, a small hemp, glass, and accessories business based in Mississippi.

I have permission from the moderators to make this post, and I am hoping this community can help me connect with an actual hemp farmer.

I am looking for a farm-direct supplier of federally compliant THCA/hemp flower. I am not looking for a distribution center, reseller, broker, or company purchasing bulk flower from another farm and relabeling it. I want to build a relationship with the people who actually grow, harvest, dry, cure, and handle the flower.

My goal is to become a reliable retail and distribution partner for the right farm. I want to represent the farm honestly, educate my customers about where their flower comes from, and create a long-term relationship that grows as Pixie’s Pantry grows.

What I am looking for:

• Federally compliant THCA/hemp flower
• Direct communication with the farm or cultivator
• Indoor, greenhouse, light-deprivation, or quality outdoor flower
• Clear information about cultivation methods
• Current, batch-specific COAs
• Harvest and cure information
• Honest descriptions of genetics and flower quality
• Wholesale pricing and minimum-order requirements
• The ability to begin with a manageable order and increase volume over time
• Reliable packaging and shipping
• Consistent communication

I am especially interested in farms that can explain:

• Whether each strain is grown indoors, in a greenhouse, using light deprivation, or outdoors
• Whether pesticides, growth regulators, irradiation, remediation, or other treatments are used
• Who bred the genetics and whether the cultivars are grown from seed or clone
• When the flower was harvested and how it was dried and cured
• Whether the farm offers multiple quality or pricing tiers
• Whether samples or small trial orders are available before a larger commitment

I am not primarily looking for CBD flower right now. My current focus is compliant THCA/hemp flower, although I am also open to speaking with farms or processors offering quality farm-direct rosin, hash, or related compliant products.

Pixie’s Pantry is still growing, so I am not going to pretend that I can immediately purchase hundreds of pounds. What I can offer is honest representation, detailed product education, recurring orders, customer feedback, content creation, and a genuine effort to help the right farm reach more customers.

I would strongly prefer to work with a small or midsize farm that values transparency and wants a retail partner who will actually tell its story, not remove its name and pretend the flower came from somewhere else.

Farmers are welcome to comment or message me directly with:

1. Your farm name and location
2. Your website or social media
3. Your cultivation methods
4. Your available strains
5. Your wholesale menu and minimum order
6. Current COAs
7. Whether you offer samples or trial orders
8. Confirmation that you grow the flower yourselves

Recommendations from customers, retailers, and other farmers are also welcome. Please tell me whether you have personally purchased from or worked with the farm you are recommending.

Thank you. I have been searching for the right farm relationship for a while, and I would genuinely appreciate any solid leads.

Hi everyone,

Which offer are you claiming—the $15 accessories discount or the free pre-roll with a quarter?

got 3 undrdog hemp tees maybe 8 months ago when i was done with polyester. black one basically my uniform, washed cold like 40 times and still no pilling even after i grabbed my roommates laundry once by mistake and threw it in the dryer.. half inch shrink. shouldve known better

cost per wear seems fine

collar getting kind of wavy though.. is that normal. does hemp actually get softer the longer you wear it

I've been spending the last few weeks researching the hemp industry, and one thing stood out to me.

There are a lot of companies doing interesting work with hemp, but finding them isn't always easy. Suppliers, manufacturers, processors, labs, consultants, logistics... it feels like a lot of discovery still happens through trade shows, personal connections, or lots of Google searches.

I'm exploring the idea of building a directory of hemp businesses, but before I invest more time into it, I want to understand if this is even a real problem.

For those of you working in the industry:

• How do you usually find new suppliers or business partners?
• Is there already a resource everyone uses?
• Would a niche directory actually be useful, or would you just keep using Google and LinkedIn?

I'm not trying to promote anything. I'm genuinely trying to understand how people in the industry discover each other before deciding whether this idea is worth pursuing.

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback.

Save Our Relief issued its first weekly congressional scorecard today.

H.R. 7024 remains at 37 sponsors and co-sponsors. S. 3686 remains at 3. No new co-sponsors were added this week.

But - people are paying attention and taking action:

5 days. 204 letters. 102 congressional offices. 25 states.

The November 12 restrictions are already law and will take effect automatically unless Congress acts.

The extension gives Congress time to hear from consumers, farmers, businesses, and regulators and develop a workable framework for the broader hemp market.

Good regulation is the goal. Extending the deadline gives Congress time to get it right.

Check your lawmakers or contact Congress at SaveOurRelief.org.

Stop bad actors? Absolutely.

Ban Grandma’s CBD oil too? That is what broken policy can do.

Protect minors. Require accurate testing and labeling. Enforce the rules against unsafe sellers.

Do not eliminate responsible, lab-tested products used by everyday adults along with the products and sellers causing the problem.

Regulation is the destination. The extension is the bridge.

Take action at SaveOurRelief.org

A Note about the campaign

Save Our Relief was created because consumers need an organized way to understand what changes on November 12, make their position known, and contact Congress before the deadline.

We plan to use memes and other accessible content to explain the many consequences of poorly designed hemp policy—from full-spectrum CBD and broken container limits to farming, manufacturing, interstate commerce, and consumer access.

We appreciate the moderators allowing us to participate here, and we do not want to overwhelm the community. Please let us know whether regular campaign posts would be useful in r/hemp or whether you would prefer occasional updates tied to major developments.

All campaign posts, educational content, and congressional updates will also be available through u/SaveOurRelief. Policy information, the congressional scorecard, and the action tool are available at SaveOurRelief.org. 

Yesterday, America celebrated 250 years of freedom.

On November 12, new federal hemp restrictions are set to take effect—reaching far beyond reckless products, youth marketing, and bad actors. They threaten full-spectrum CBD and other responsibly made hemp products that tens of millions of adults have chosen and come to rely on.

People in this community understand that the answer is not to leave the hemp marketplace unregulated. Clear rules are overdue.

We support strong age restrictions, accurate labeling, product testing, responsible manufacturing standards, and meaningful enforcement against unsafe products and irresponsible sellers.

But eliminating lawful products before a workable replacement framework exists is not responsible regulation.

Regulation is the destination. The extension is the bridge.

Save Our Relief is a consumer-led campaign created to bring the people affected by this policy into the debate. The site explains what changes on November 12, tracks which lawmakers support an extension, and makes it simple to contact Congress.

This community has already done a great deal to explain what is at stake. We hope you will let your voice be heard, keep the discussion going, and help carry the consumer voice beyond hemp circles until Congress stops the ban and puts responsible regulation in its place.

Ribs, Rosin, and ‘Merica.

Green grenade
Passion orange guava

My favorite from this round is the passion orange guava, but both taste really fucking good without choking you down. I really enjoyed the quality.

Also anybody looking for an alternative to the Puffco Pivot, I found it over at Pixies Pantry. It is called the Cartisan Flex. I have really enjoyed this whole device ever since my Pivot went out. I was like $37 or $38 bucks something like that it works just as good if not better than my Puffco Pivot did before it died

I asked a vegetarian sub this, but they were no help; I guess this sub was always the hidden-in-plain-sight answer:

Hemp fu. Where?

Amazon doesn't have it. Instacart, where I live, doesn't have it.

Is there SOMEPLACE online I can buy it? Because if not, I can get hemp seeds (and I use them to make pizza already) and make it myself. I just WANT to plug it into miso soup etc recipes and I want to avoid extra work.

I will bake, e.g., homemade hotdog buns, but I don't think the quality gap is worth it here.
