What moved and what didn't when Congress pushed the hemp deadline to December 11

A stopgap funding bill signed September 2 pushes most of Section 781's new restrictions to December 11 - but not the ones that apply to synthetic cannabinoids, and not for good.

Policy

The federal hemp deadline moved to December 11. Illinois and New Jersey did not move with it.

Illinois's new Hemp Act still takes effect November 12 and New Jersey still ends liquor-store THC drink sales on November 13 - state dates the federal stopgap never touched.
