What happens on December 11, 2026?

The federal ban on intoxicating hemp products takes effect: THCA flower, hemp-derived THC vapes, and intoxicating gummies stop being lawful to sell nationwide, regardless of state law. That is not a rumor; it is enacted federal legislation, and this site treats it as the category’s defining fact — the banner up top counts it, and every legality page carries it. What survives: non-intoxicating hemp products (CBD under the new definitions) and hardware like dry-herb vaporizers. Our coverage pivots with the law, and the ban explainer tracks any litigation or date changes.
