Tennessee facing a THCA hemp ban? What you need to know.

In May 2025, the Tennessee legislature passed House Bill 1376 (Public chapter 526) which significantly tightens controls on hemp derived cannabinoid products containing THCA above the 0.3% total-THC threshold, prohibits online and convenience-store sales of many hemp derived products, and transfers regulatory oversight from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), effective January 1 2026. 

The impact is already being felt from farmers to retailers and consumers who rely on THCA flower, the restrictions mean lost revenue streams, closed market access and a reshaped regulatory environment. Industry groups have condemned the move as a "hemp-killing" measure that favors large liquor-industry models over small hemp businesses and undermines access to wellness products.

Several Tennessee hemp groups, along with hemp businesses from other states have sued the state over the new hemp ban, arguing it oversteps legal boundaries and threatens small business. A judge has issued a temporary injunction that could delay enforcement. However, with major restrictions set for January 2026, the future of hemp in Tennessee remains uncertain.

This helps us connect more deeply with rhythm and sound.
