An industry at the crossroads

In 2018, a single word, “hemp,” was removed from the federal controlled substances list. That change quietly opened the door to a sprawling consumer market that includes hemp-derived beverages, smokeable THC products, and more. By 2026, it had grown into a major industry operating in a largely unregulated space.

Then came the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Passed by Congress in June 2026, the law includes language that, effective November 2026, closes the Farm Bill loophole that made it all possible. For businesses in this space, the implications are significant and the legal questions are immediate.

Wisconsin may respond with legislation of its own, either codifying protections for the industry or shutting the door at the state level too. While that outcome is uncertain, what is certain is that clients in this space need guidance now. At The Future of Hemp Products in Wisconsin, Collin Schaefer brings clarity to a fast-moving situation.
