Ending the federal government shutdown may come at a cost to the state’s THC industry.
The U.S. Senate bill reopening the federal government contains a clause banning the “unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products,” Wisconsin Public Radio reports.
A federal loophole through the 2018 federal Farm Bill has allowed for states like Wisconsin and Minnesota to provide a THC industry selling everything from THC drinks to gummies.
This provision could put these companies out of business.

Nationwide, the THC business is a multi-billion-dollar industry.
Wisconsin companies now have 365 days since the bill’s passing to figure out their next steps.
