Hemp Loophole is Closing: $30B Industry in Transition (And What It Means)

The recent closing of the hemp loophole is set to bring massive changes to the $30 billion hemp industry.

For years, hemp-derived THC products thrived in a legal gray area, but now the federal government has set a one-year deadline to end the sale of most intoxicating hemp products.

This shift will create new challenges for hemp businesses as they adapt to stricter regulations, but it also opens up opportunities for accountants to step in as trusted advisors during this critical transition.

Key financial challenges businesses will face in 2026
Best practices for advising clients during this period of change
