AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Federal Hemp Fight: The U.S. Senate is negotiating a stopgap spending deal that could delay the planned federal ban on hemp-derived intoxicating THC products until Dec. 11, with GOP senators pushing to keep the original Nov. 12 date—while 35 state AGs urge Congress to stick with the schedule. State Enforcement & Money: California’s tax agency says it seized $168M in illegal cannabis and tobacco since 2019, including nearly $22M in the first half of 2026, as part of a broader crackdown on the illicit supply chain. Regulatory Courtroom: A California judge ordered the Department of Cannabis Control to overhaul its track-and-trace system so it can flag irregular transactions for investigation. Market Signals: Wisconsin THC producers are bracing for a federal ban but are watching for a possible one-month delay; Georgia’s medical cannabis program also saw a sharp patient jump after eased access. Product & Retail Moves: New York signed a bill letting marijuana microbusinesses fully participate in farmers’ markets and pop-up events. Industry Business: Mississippi testing labs Steep Hill and Alchemy Analytics plan to combine under Southern Precision Analytics to preserve statewide testing capacity. Local Public Safety: San Diego filed a civil lawsuit targeting an owner of 11 smoke shops over alleged illegal kratom sales.
