Major Restaurant Lobby Group Pushes Congress To Keep H**p THC Drinks Legal As An Alternative To Alcohol: "These products offer an alternative for guests who want a social drinking experience without alcohol."

What are some of the top products you’d like to see from us? Especially if the new law goes in to effect in Nov as expected??

Millions of Americans rely on CBD and full-spectrum h**p products for wellness, recovery, and quality of life.

But a little-known provision buried in a federal spending bill could effectively ban many h**p-derived products beginning November 2026.

Fortunately, Congress has a better option.

The Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act would replace this sweeping ban with sensible regulations that prioritize product safety, accurate labeling, testing, and consumer protection while preserving access to h**p-derived cannabinoids. A companion bill would also provide a three-year implementation window, giving lawmakers time to create a workable framework instead of forcing an entire industry off a cliff.

This isn't just about h**p. It's about protecting consumer choice, supporting science-based regulation, and ensuring Americans maintain access to products they trust.

Take action today.

Write to Congress and urge support for:
✔️ The Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act (CSRA)
✔️ The H**p Planting Predictability Act

Let's protect access, transparency, and common-sense regulation.

A federal ban on nearly all h**p-derived products — including the CBD and full-spectrum oils millions of Americans rely on — takes effect November 12, 2026. Two pro-h**p bills now in Congress offer the last realistic path to stop it. Action Alert! Listen to the audio version of this article: THE...

While patients often delight in examining individual Cannabis types and observing the rainbow of beautiful and subtle hues they exhibit, the science behind cannabis’s colors is quite complex.

Some cultivars of cannabis change color as they flower. What’s the secret? Genetics. Anthocyanins are a group of around 400 water-soluble pigment molecules classified as flavonoids. They appear red, blue, or purple according to their pH.

Interestingly, flavonoids are generally yellow, hence the Latin root “flavus“, meaning yellow. They also have nothing to do with flavor, being extremely bitter.

Think of the tree leaves in fall. As temperatures drop, they change from green to red, orange, yellow, or gold. Cannabis doesn’t produce the colors until the latter half of the flowering stage, with a few exceptions. Once the green fades, they can come forth and shine.

These effects are especially pronounced within the sophisticated microclimates indoor cultivators create. Seasonal changes that would ordinarily be spread throughout the year are simulated and sped-up to increase cannabinoid content and shorten the plant’s natural growth cycle.

Dramatic changes in plant chemistry occur at a rapid pace, producing very visible and often beautiful results.
