New Hemp Regulations

Hi FlowerChild family,

​If a new federal law takes effect as scheduled this November, full-spectrum CBD products may become illegal to ship nationwide.

Because we believe in complete transparency, we want to share exactly what is happening, how it threatens your daily health routine, and what we can do about it right now.

From the 2018 Farm Bill to the 2026 Changes

Back in 2018, the signing of the federal Farm Bill officially legalized hemp across the United States.​It defined legal hemp as any cannabis product containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This landmark law opened the door for millions of people to discover the profound benefits of full-spectrum CBD and CBG.

However, new federal legislation (passed as part of a continuous funding package) is set to dramatically rewrite those rules starting November 12, 2026.

The new law introduces strict new caps—not just on Delta-9, but on total THC levels—and limits final products to no more than a minuscule 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container.​ While lawmakers claim this is meant to target highly intoxicating gas-station synthetics, the restriction is so severe that it accidentally sweeps up an estimated 90% or more of safe, non-intoxicating, natural full-spectrum wellness products.

What This Means for FlowerChild

Because true full-spectrum extracts rely on trace, naturally occurring amounts of THC to trigger the entourage effect—the biological mechanism where cannabinoids work together to maximize relief—most of our products naturally cross that tiny 0.4mg container limit.

If nothing changes by November, FlowerChild might be forced to stop selling our full-spectrum CBD products online.

Right now, we aren’t sure how any of this will play out.

Due to strict state laws, we have already had to remove shipping to California, Idaho, and Kansas from our website. If you live in one of these states, please respond to this email to discuss options.

Is There Hope?

Yes. The hemp industry, agricultural advocacy groups, and small businesses nationwide are fighting back fiercely. Bipartisan efforts are already underway in Congress to delay the implementation of this ban for up to three years, allowing time for sensible regulation that protects consumer safety without destroying access to therapeutic wellness.

But while we are hoping for the best and supporting the legal pushback, we must prepare for the worst. We urge you to stock up if you rely on these products.

Can you help?

Yes! If you’re Californian, contact Governor Gavin Newsom (916 445 2841) and your state legislators (https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/) and share your story about how full-spectrum CBD has helped you and your family. Urge them to reconsider the strict regulations.

Everyone else can help by contacting your U.S Representative (https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative) and Senators (https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm) and urging them to put a stop to the November regulations.
