The Trump Effect: Why U.S. Cannabis & Hemp Policy Moves Matter for UK CBD Bud
When major policy shifts happen in the U.S. around cannabis, hemp, and cannabinoids, the ripple effects are felt worldwide. For UK buyers of CBD bud, CBD Hash, isolates etc changes in the U.S. regulatory and investment landscape can affect availability, pricing, and consumer choice.
Recent developments—including discussions around Medicare coverage of CBD, federal hemp reforms, and state-level legalisation efforts are reigniting investor interest (those #TLRY #CGC share prices looking tempting now?) and influencing supply chains, consumer sentiment, and cross-border trade.
For anyone shopping with us at CBDBudshop for UK CBD bud or CBD Hash, it’s important to understand how events across the pond, and that you see on your feed could impact the products you buy and the market at large.
U.S. Regulation Shifting — Key Signals
The Farm Bill Legacy and New Amendments
The 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act (the “Farm Bill”) was a turning point: it removed hemp (cannabis with ≤0.3% THC) from Schedule I, paving the way for legal hemp-derived CBD flower, CBD bud, and extracts.
However, new language being introduced in the U.S. Senate is redefining “hemp” to include all derivatives, isomers, and forms of THC/THCA, while introducing stricter limits on “total THC.” This could close the loopholes that allowed widespread hemp flower, hash, and derivative sales.
One proposed measure would cap total THC at 0.4 mg per container, alongside a “similar effect” test for cannabinoids—meaning legal status may depend not just on chemistry, but on the effect the product produces.
Why This Matters for UK CBD Bud Buyers
If U.S. hemp regulation tightens, supply could become more limited and prices may rise globally, affecting the UK CBD bud and CBD Hash markets.
Adding further interest, U.S. President Donald Trump recently highlighted the importance of the endo-cannabinoid system on Truth Social, with a full length video highlighting the importance, and its very recent discovery, noting its central role in regulating wellness and its therapeutic potential. This public attention is so important, brining it to a huge audience otherwise deaf to the benefots of CBD. Cannabinoids, and the plant as a whole are increasingly recognised for their role in health and wellbeing—not just legally, but culturally.
