Here at Ethereal Gold Dispensary, our entire mission is built on providing safe, transparent, and federally legal access to cannabis products derived from hemp. Today, on November 7, 2025, that entire framework is under immediate and severe threat.
Opponents of the hemp industry are attempting to bypass the normal legislative process. Instead of debating the Farm Bill, they are trying to attach hemp-killing language to a must-pass government funding bill (a "minibus" or "continuing resolution").
This language, which passed the House earlier this year, would effectively ban the vast majority of hemp-derived cannabinoid products — including the Delta-9 THC edibles and beverages that millions of adults rely on.
This is a DEFCON1 situation for the entire industry. We are not exaggerating. Action is needed today, not next week.
Why We Oppose This Ban
Ethereal Gold Dispensary has always been the loudest voice for sensible regulation, not prohibition. We were one of the first to call for mandatory 21+ age verification, universal full-panel lab testing, and an end to deceptive, child-appealing packaging.
This proposed ban does not create safety. It destroys it.
If this language passes, it will not stop demand. It will instantly vaporize thousands of responsible small businesses and farms. It will push millions of adult consumers from a transparent, tested market (like ours) into a dangerous, untested, and criminal illicit market. This is the exact opposite of public safety, and it is a slap in the face to the 2018 Farm Bill.
How You Can Help RIGHT NOW (Today, November 7th)
We are at a pivotal moment. The goal is to ensure our Senators tell leadership, specifically Senate Minority Whip John Thune, to take this hemp ban off the table once and for all.
Your voice is the most powerful tool we have. Before you log off for the day, please take these two critical steps.
1. Email Your Senators (The Easy Way)
The US Hemp Roundtable has done most of the work for you. They have created a simple form letter that you can fill out in 30 seconds to automatically email your two state Senators.
2. Call Your Senators (The High-Impact Way)
A phone call is the most effective way to get an immediate message to your Senator's staff. It takes two minutes.
Call (202) 224-3121
The Capitol switchboard operator will ask for your state, and you can then ask to be connected to your Senator's office. (If you don't know your Senators' names, the operator can tell you.)
Here is a simple message you can leave with the staffer:
"Hello, my name is [Your Name] from [Your City, State]. I’m calling to ask Senator [Name] to ask Leader Thune to take a hemp ban off the table. Hemp supports farmers, jobs, and small businesses in our state and across the country. Thank you for representing our interests and for your leadership on this issue."
Our Commitment Continues
At Ethereal Gold Dispensary, we will not stop fighting for a safe, legal, and regulated cannabis market for adults. Our commitment to full-panel testing and age verification is our promise to you. But right now, we need your help to ensure we have an industry left to regulate.
Please, take two minutes and make these calls and emails. The future of federally legal hemp depends on it.
FAQ
What is this "hemp-killing language"?
It's an amendment passed by the House of Representatives that seeks to ban all intoxicating hemp-derived products, effectively ending the market for Delta-9 THC, Delta-8 THC, and other cannabinoid products.
Why is this happening now?
Opponents are trying to attach this ban to a "minibus" or "continuing resolution," which are must-pass government funding bills, to sneak it into law without a proper debate.
Does Ethereal Gold Dispensary support this ban?
Absolutely not. We strongly oppose prohibition and support smart regulation, including mandatory 21+ age gates, full-panel lab testing, and professional, non-deceptive packaging.
Why are we contacting Leader Thune?
Senator John Thune is a key Republican leader involved in negotiating these funding bills. Our Senators need to tell him directly that this hemp ban is bad policy and must be removed.
What happens if this ban passes?
It would make the federally legal hemp products you purchase today illegal, destroying the regulated market and pushing consumers to dangerous, untested illicit sources.
