What the New Federal Hemp Rules Mean for Your Vena Subscription

If you've caught wind of new federal hemp regulations, you're not imagining it. As a Vena subscriber, we wanted to walk you through exactly what this means for you — in plain language, well ahead of your next order.

What's Happening in Washington

Congress has been working through new federal rules that redefine how hemp-derived products, including CBD and THC gummies like ours, are regulated nationwide. The short version: starting December 11, 2026, hemp products sold in the U.S. are expected to fall under a new, lower THC threshold — currently anticipated around 3mg of total THC per serving. This is an industry-wide shift affecting every hemp brand, not a decision unique to Vena.

What This Means for Your Subscription

We've mapped out exactly how this affects your account, so there are no surprises when your December order ships.

• If you're subscribed to our 5mg gummies: your subscription will automatically move to our reformulated version, built to meet the new threshold. It's the same gummy you trust, just recalibrated. Subscribers will receive 2 jars at your existing pricing. No action is needed to stay subscribed.

• If you're subscribed to our 10mg gummies: these products are being discontinued, as there isn't a way to bring them down to the new threshold while preserving the experience you've come to expect. We're reaching out individually with thoughtful alternatives from our lineup. 

• If you're subscribed to any of our seltzers: these are also being discontinued under the new federal rules. We'll follow up directly with alternatives that fit your routine.

• Want to stock up at today's strength before the change? You can adjust your subscription quantity now to secure your favorite product at the current formulation while it's still available.

What's Not Changing at Vena

Our formulas remain third-party tested, thoughtfully made, and fully transparent about what's inside. This is a regulatory shift in potency — not a change in how we source or craft the products you rely on for your wellness routine.

What to Do Now

Nothing urgent. If your subscription is affected, we'll be in touch by email with your specific next steps over the coming months. If you'd like to get ahead of it, you can review your subscription anytime in your account, or check the FAQ below.

FAQ

Why are these changes happening? New federal legislation is changing how hemp-derived products are regulated nationwide, including a lower THC threshold for products like gummies and seltzers. This applies across the entire hemp industry — it isn't specific to Vena.

When does this take effect? The current federal timeline points to December 11, 2026. We'll update this page if that date changes.

Do I need to do anything right now? No immediate action is required. If your subscription is affected, we'll email you directly with your specific next steps before anything changes on your account.

I'm subscribed to 5mg gummies. What happens to my order? Your subscription will automatically update to our reformulated version starting with your first December shipment. It's the same product you love, recalibrated to the new threshold. You’ll receive 2 jars at your existing pricing. No action is needed to stay subscribed.

I'm subscribed to 10mg or gummies. What happens to my order? These products are being discontinued, as there isn't a compliant way to reformulate them down to the new threshold while keeping the experience intact. We'll reach out with a few alternative paths — including other products that might be a great fit — and you'll have a simple way to choose in your account before your next order ships. Pausing or cancelling is always an option too.

What about seltzers? All seltzer products are being discontinued under the new federal rules. We'll follow up with alternatives before your next shipment.

Can I stock up before the change? Yes. You can increase your subscription quantity now to secure your favorite products at today's formulation while supplies last.

Is Vena shutting down or discontinuing the brand? No. We're adjusting our lineup to stay compliant with the new federal threshold. Our commitment to quality, testing, and transparency remains exactly the same.

Will pricing change? Existing subscribers on unaffected products will be grandfathered into their current pricing. New purchases and reformulated or replacement products may reflect different pricing.
