The U.S. House has approved a temporary funding measure that delays an upcoming regulatory crackdown on intoxicating hemp products, giving the industry additional time to challenge the policy.

Industry advocates argue the ban would disrupt legal markets and harm businesses already operating under existing regulations. Lawmakers’ decision to postpone enforcement reflects ongoing debate over balancing public health concerns with the economic impact on a growing sector.
