How new legislation may threaten the hemp industry’s future

Season 2025 Episode 320 | 5m 27s

The legislation Congress passed this past week to reopen the government included a provision banning intoxicating products made out of hemp plants, a type of cannabis like marijuana, but with a lower level of the psychoactive element THC. Ali Rogin speaks with Manisha Krishnan, senior culture editor at WIRED, about the ban’s potential effect on the U.S. hemp industry.
