AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Hemp Ban Delay: President Trump signed a stopgap bill pushing the federal hemp-derived THC ban from Nov. 12 to Dec. 11, buying businesses more time to build compliant rules. Regulatory Pressure: Lawmakers are still debating how to regulate hemp THC products instead of outright prohibition, with Michigan hemp firms calling the reprieve short-lived. Retail Expansion: Illinois dispensary Terrabis is rolling out drive-thru service after state law changes, signaling more convenience-focused cannabis retail. Workforce Reality Check: A new report flags a 54.6% budtender turnover rate in the U.S., with 23% leaving before their first full month—raising the stakes for better benefits and retention. Enforcement & Seizures: Police in Osun, Ghana, and the UK reported multiple busts involving suspected Indian hemp and cannabis-linked trafficking, while Canada’s Atlantic Institution seized hashish, shatter, tobacco, and vaping gear. Product/Brand News: The Hemp Doctor won “Best THC/CBD Beverage” at an ECRM tasting, highlighting continued momentum for hemp-derived drinks. Local Governance: California’s violence intervention program is credited with major firearm violence reductions over 14 years, reinforcing the prevention-first approach.
