The post shares a NewsNation TikTok clip featuring former NFL player Kyle Turley criticizing a last-minute hemp ban inserted into the U.S. government’s December 2025 funding bill, which he argues undermines the $30 billion hemp industry legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Turley, co-founder of Project CBD and a cannabis advocate who credits it for managing his CTE symptoms, urges the Trump administration to support hemp as an economic driver rather than allowing regulatory restrictions to “go up in smoke.”
This reflects broader bipartisan tensions in cannabis policy, with the ban potentially disrupting farming, manufacturing, and medical applications; peer-reviewed studies, like a 2023 Journal of Cannabis Research review, highlight hemp’s role in sustainable agriculture and pain management without psychoactive effects.
