KEEP LOW-DOSE THC BEVERAGES LEGAL

Hemp-derived THC beverages will become illegal nationwide on November 12, 2026 unless Congress acts. That means the low-dose THC beverages currently available in Minnesota’s responsibly regulated market could disappear from shelves, taprooms, retailers, and coolers across the state.

No loopholes. No exceptions. No Minnesota workaround.

‍

Tell Congress: Regulate Hemp Beverages. Don’t Ban Them.

‍

THIS ISN'T FEDERAL. IT'S PERSONAL.

It’s easy to assume that because Minnesota has built a legal, regulated hemp market, these products are protected here. They are not. A federal ban would override the progress Minnesota has made and eliminate access to hemp-derived THC beverages across the country, including right here at home.

For Fulton, this impacts more than one product line. It impacts local jobs, retailers, manufacturers, farmers, distributors, small businesses, and the customers who have chosen low-dose THC beverages as a social, alcohol-alternative option.

WHAT HAPPENS IF CONGRESS DOESN'T ACT?

If the ban takes effect, hemp-derived THC beverages and other hemp products will become illegal under federal law.

That means:

• Products disappear from retailers and taprooms
• Minnesota businesses lose revenue
• Jobs across the hemp supply chain are put at risk
• Consumer demand does not disappear
• The market is pushed underground instead of being safely regulated

This is not a solution. It is a step backward.

BANS DON'T STOP DEMAND. REGULATION PROTECTS PEOPLE.

Low-dose THC beverages are already part of how many adults socialize. The most common hemp beverages contain 3–5mg of Delta-9 THC per can, offering a familiar, approachable, and clearly labeled format.

Instead of banning these products outright, Congress should create a responsible regulatory framework that keeps consumers safe and gives states like Minnesota the ability to regulate hemp beverages within their borders.

A smart framework should include:

• 21+ purchase requirements
• Independent testing for potency and impurities
• Clear labeling
• Rules against marketing to children
• Licensing and product tracing
• State-level oversight

Minnesota has already shown that regulation is possible. Now Congress needs to protect that path forward.

WHAT WE STAND TO LOSE

This is bigger than one beverage.

The hemp industry supports hundreds of thousands of American jobs and billions in market activity. In Minnesota, hemp-derived THC products have created opportunity for craft breweries, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, farmers, and hospitality businesses.

A federal ban would not just remove products from shelves.
It would erase a growing industry that is already working within responsible rules.
