Hemp Ban Update: November 4 Is Our Final Day Selling CBD + THC
Updated August 26, 2026
TL;DR: What You Need to Know
- Our current final day selling all hemp products is November 4, 2026. Square has told us our payment-processing account will be closed on November 5 because of the upcoming federal hemp law changes.
- The new federal hemp restrictions are currently scheduled to take effect November 12, 2026.
- The Senate has approved a proposal that would delay the federal deadline until December 11, 2026, but that extension is NOT law yet.
- We are not doing one huge blowout sale. Our focus is on helping regular customers get what they need and moving inventory responsibly over the next few months.
- Use code CBDBAN for 25% off full-priced Humble-brand CBD + THC products and 15% off other brands and non-hemp items. There is currently no planned end date for the code.
- Do not wait until the last minute. Some products will sell out before November, some will enter Final Sale, and some will not be restocked. - We now have a Final Sale category for products we do not plan to restock once they are gone.
- We will be reaching out to regular customers personally, starting with Assistance Program members, to help with personalized stock-up plans and larger bulk orders when needed.
- Humble Collective is not closing. Our non-hemp products will continue, and we are preparing the business to keep operating after Square closes our current account.

Under the current timeline, Humble Collective's final day selling CBD and THC will be November 4, 2026.
Square has notified us that our payment processing account will be closed on November 5 because of the upcoming federal hemp law changes.
That means we need to complete CBD and THC sales before the account shuts down, making November 4 our current final day to purchase CBD and THC from Humble Collective.
The federal hemp restrictions themselves are currently scheduled to take effect November 12, 2026.
There is still movement in Congress that could delay or reform those restrictions, and we remain hopeful. But until something officially becomes law, we are preparing for November 4 as our final CBD and THC sales day.

Products in our Final Sale category will not be restocked once they sell out.
What Exactly Is Changing?
A federal law passed in 2025 changes the legal definition of hemp beginning November 12, 2026.
The new rules are much more restrictive than the current hemp framework and would cause many hemp-derived products that are legally sold today to fall outside the federal definition of hemp.
That includes many products containing naturally occurring cannabinoids that have been sold legally under the 2018 Farm Bill framework.
For businesses like ours, this is not a small labeling change or a minor new regulation, it's a near-total erasure of our business.
Why Is Our Deadline November 5 Instead of November 12?
Because Square has given us an earlier deadline.
Square notified us that because our business sells CBD and hemp-derived products, our Square account is scheduled to close November 5, 2026.
Square handles a major portion of our payment processing. So even though the federal law is currently scheduled to change on November 12, our practical CBD + THC deadline is November 5. That is the date we have to plan our business around.
Could the Deadline Still Change?
Yes.
There has been some encouraging movement in Congress. The Senate has passed legislation that would delay the hemp restrictions until December 11, 2026.
However:
The December 11 extension is NOT law yet.
The House still has to approve the Senate version before the extension can take effect. Until that happens, November 12 remains the federal deadline.
And even if Congress delays the federal deadline, we cannot assume Square will automatically reverse its November 5 account closure.
That would require a separate decision from Square.
Are Lawmakers Trying to Fix the Hemp Ban?
Yes.
There are also bipartisan efforts underway to replace the current restrictions with a more workable regulatory system.
One of those proposals is the Lawful Hemp Protection Act, introduced by Representatives Andy Barr and Angie Craig. The goal is to create a federal framework for hemp-derived consumer products rather than allowing the current restrictions to wipe out large portions of the legal hemp market.
We support sensible regulation.
That includes things like:
- Accurate labeling
- Appropriate product testing
- Responsible age restrictions for intoxicating products
- Clear manufacturing standards
- Action against unsafe or improperly made products
We do not believe responsible regulation requires eliminating access to naturally derived hemp and CBD products that adults have legally purchased for years.
But again, proposed reform is not the same thing as enacted law.
Until something actually passes, we have to prepare for November 5.
What We're Doing Now
1. We Are NOT Doing One Huge Blowout Sale
Our goal is not to panic and immediately slash everything to the lowest possible price.
Instead, we are focused on making sure our regular customers have the opportunity to get what they need before November 5.
We have already ordered the ingredients and supplies we believe we will need for the next few months so we can continue producing key products while there is still time.
We are going to manage inventory carefully, continue making certain products where appropriate, and work with customers individually when larger stock-up orders make sense.
2. All Humble-Brand CBD Is Currently 25% Off
Use code:
CBDBAN
for 25% off all full-priced Humble-brand CBD and THC products, and 15% off other brands and non-CBD items (excludes sale items, gift cards and monthly boxes).
There is currently no planned end date for this code.
We expect to keep it available as we move toward November.
We may also run different product-specific offers and sales as the deadline gets closer.
Some products with stronger margins, including certain CBD oils, salves and drink mixes, may receive larger discounts at different points.
Other products, including some gummies and rollers, have much tighter margins and may not be discounted as heavily.
We do not recommend waiting for a bigger sale.
A later sale is not guaranteed to be better for every product.
More importantly, some products WILL sell out before November.
If there is something you rely on regularly, our advice is to start planning now rather than waiting until the final days.
3. We Created a Final Sale Section
We now have a dedicated Final Sale category for CBD products we have decided we will not be restocking.
These products are available only while our current inventory lasts.
The first items include select:
- CBD rollers
- CBD dog treats
- Sea Moss CBD chews
More products may be added as we make final inventory decisions.
Once a Final Sale product sells out, we do not plan to make or order more.

4. We Are Prioritizing Our Regular Customers
This is one of the biggest parts of our plan.
Many of our customers have used the same CBD oils, salves, gummies and other products for years.
We know that everyone's routine is different, and a blanket sitewide sale does not necessarily help someone figure out what they actually need.
So instead, we will be reaching out to regular customers personally.
Our Assistance Program members will be contacted first.
After that, we will begin contacting other regular and long-time CBD customers.
We can help look at:
- What products you normally use
- How often you reorder
- How long each product usually lasts you
- What quantity may make sense for the coming months
- Whether a larger bulk order and additional stock-up pricing makes sense
When appropriate, we can create a personalized bulk invoice rather than requiring you to place a large order on your own. We may have financing options available.
If you're a regular CBD customer, keep an eye on your email.
You may hear directly from us.
And you do not need to wait for us to contact you. If you're concerned about a product you use regularly, you're welcome to reach out now.
5. We Are Preparing the Rest of Humble Collective for the Future
Humble Collective is NOT closing.
That is important.
CBD has been a major part of our business since 2017, and losing the ability to sell it will be an enormous and impactful change.
But Humble Collective is much more than CBD.
Our non-hemp products will continue, including our:
- Herbal tinctures
- Teas
- Supplements
- Tallow products
- Body care
- Lotions
- Herbal salves
- Other natural products
We are also working now on payment-processing options for the non-hemp side of the business so we can continue operating after Square closes our current account.
Whatever happens with federal hemp law, we are planning for Humble Collective to continue.
Should You Stock Up?
If you occasionally use CBD or THC and are comfortable waiting to see what happens, that is completely your choice.
But if there is a particular Humble CBD or THC product that is part of your regular routine, we do not recommend waiting until November.
Our plan is to continue managing inventory responsibly over the next several months, but we cannot guarantee that every product will remain available until November 5.
Some products will sell out.
Some products will enter Final Sale.
Some products will not be restocked.
And while additional sales may happen later, we cannot guarantee that the product you want will still be here when they do.
Our focus is not on creating panic.
It is on giving customers enough time to make a plan.
The Dates to Know
November 5, 2026
Square has told us our account will close.
This is our current last day for CBD and THC sales.
November 12, 2026
The new federal hemp restrictions are currently scheduled to take effect.
December 11, 2026
The Senate has approved legislation that would move the deadline to this date, but the extension has not become law yet.
If any of these dates officially change, we will update this page as soon as possible.
Where We Stand
We remain cautiously hopeful.
There is more bipartisan movement happening now than there was several months ago, and we are encouraged that lawmakers are discussing both delays and longer-term reform.
But hope and proposed legislation do not change the deadlines we have in front of us today.
So our plan is simple:
- Prepare for November 5.
- Continue advocating for sensible hemp reform.
- Take care of our regular customers.
- Move through inventory responsibly instead of panicking.
- And prepare Humble Collective for whatever comes next.
We will continue updating this page whenever there is a meaningful change.

Additionally, you can contact your congressman here and ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 9830, the bipartisan Lawful Hemp Protection Act, introduced by Congressman Andy Barr and Congresswoman Angie Craig.
Thank you for supporting our family-run business through all of this.
