Congress Sneaks Adult Sippy Cup Ban Via Shutdown Drama

KEY POINTS

•Congress passed hemp restrictions this week that could ban THC drinks starting November 2026.
•Senator Mitch McConnell led an effort targeting synthetic gummies, inadvertently jeopardizing the much milder Cann beverages.
•Cann CEO Jake Bullock urges for a new beverage bill to properly regulate THC drinks like alcohol.
•Gen Z consumers favor THC drinks over alcohol, with many sharing personal stories of how Cann improved their lives.

In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Congress used the government shutdown trilogy finale to sneak a hemp restriction bill that could ban THC drinks like Cann by November 2026. Led by Senator Mitch McConnell — also known as the Shutdown Whisperer — the bill caps THC in drinks at 0.4 mg per container, potentially throwing Cann's billion-dollar biz into a Schedule I sadness spiral. CEO Jake Bullock pleaded for a 'smart beverage bill' to save hemp sips and avoid turning THC cocktails into criminal contraband. Meanwhile, Gen Z ditches booze for Cann, saying it saved marriages and made them better parents — or so the 1,600+ campaign fans claim. Congress clearly thinks synthetic candy gummies are scarier than low-THC drinks, but thanks to this stealth move, hemp drink lovers might need a protest playlist pronto.
