Doomsday Prep: If the hemp industry shuts down, do this

HHC Update: Banks and Payment Processors Are Pulling Back

Last month, the DEA designated Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) as a Schedule I controlled substance and assigned it a unique drug code. Since then, lawsuits have been filed challenging the DEA's rulemaking in both the Fourth and Ninth Circuits. But while the courts are still sorting things out, something else is already happening: Banks and payment processors are making decisions. Across the country, hemp businesses are reporting that merchant processors are warning them to remove HHC products, or risk losing access to credit card processing altogether. In this video, Attorney Morgan Davis discusses: The DEA's HHC scheduling decision The lawsuits challenging the rulemaking Why payment processors are reacting now The business risks of continuing to sell HHC products What hemp retailers and manufacturers should expect next Whether you manufacture, distribute, or sell hemp products, understanding what is happening with HHC right now is critical. Because sometimes the market reacts long before the law is settled. +++++++++ THIS VIDEO IS MEANT TO ASSIST IN A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT LAW AND PRACTICE RELATING TO THE TOPICS DISCUSSED.

This video was recorded on May 26, 2026. +++++++++ 💬 WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL SOMETIMES USE THE WORD “MARIJUANA”? You may hear the term “marijuana” used in some of my videos. While I personally believe the word is outdated, unscientific, and rooted in racially charged propaganda, it still appears in federal and state law — which makes it necessary in legal conversations. As an attorney, I use the language defined by law when discussing federally illegal substances. There is currently no federal legal definition for "cannabis"... but there is for “hemp” and “marijuana," so clarity matters. When referring to THC content and legal classifications, that’s when you’ll hear the word used. But make no mistake: in my eyes, it’s all cannabis. +++++++++ 🔔 Stay in the Loop 🔔 Get notified as soon as the latest episode drops – you won't want to miss our expert insights and industry-shaking discussions!
