There’s been a lot of news lately about the federal “2025 hemp ban,” and we know it’s raising questions, especially for customers who rely on hemp-derived delta-9 and wellness products. Since Unwind currently carries primarily Delta-9 edibles made from hemp , these changes will impact all of our edibles starting in 2025. We want to keep everything transparent, simple, and easy to understand, so here’s what you need to know. What is changing? The 2024–2025 federal Farm Bill (referred to as the “2025 hemp ban”) includes language that outlaws intoxicating hemp-derived THC products nationwide. This applies to: Any hemp product with intoxicating levels of Delta-9 THC Delta-8 and other intoxicating cannabinoids Hemp-derived blends or minor cannabinoids that produce a high These products were previously allowed under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as they contained less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, but the updated bill closes that loophole. Once this takes effect, hemp-derived intoxicating edibles can no longer be manufactured or sold anywhere in the U.S. Because of these limits, many popular intoxicating hemp products will be phased out nationwide. Why is this happening? Lawmakers say these changes are meant to: Close loopholes that allowed unregulated intoxicating products Improve consumer safety and consistency Reduce confusion between hemp and marijuana Give states clearer guidance for enforcement Whether you agree with the decision or not, it’s a major shift for the industry. When does this go into effect? The federal changes include a one-year transition period, with full enforcement expected around November 2026. That means: You won’t see sudden overnight changes. Products will phase out gradually as the industry adjusts. Minnesota’s cannabis industry will be developing during  this window. Unwind will keep customers informed every step of the way. Is Minnesota still going legal with cannabis? Yes. Minnesota’s adult-use cannabis program is rolling out, and over the next year you’ll see the regulated market take shape. The federal hemp changes don’t stop Minnesota’s cannabis program, but it will create a clearer separation between the two industries. Unwind plans to expand into the legal cannabis space when state licensing allows. That means in the long run, you’ll have access to safe, regulated THC products through a more traditional cannabis framework. Does this affect the products Unwind currently carries? Because Unwind currently specializes in hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles, this change affects: All of our edibles, drinks, and tinctures All intoxicating hemp products we currently carry We will no longer be able to sell hemp-derived edibles after the federal rule goes into effect. Don't worry! Unwind isn’t closing or going away. We are currently preparing to transition into state-legal cannabis products once Minnesota’s regulated market is fully available. How will Unwind support customers through this transition? We’re committed to: Clear communication Stock updates as products begin to phase out Guidance on alternatives (CBD, functional wellness, etc.) Updates on when cannabis products become available in Minnesota Unwind will remain a trusted, friendly resource during this transition. Change is coming, but we’ll navigate it together! Unwind will continue supporting you through every step of this transition and will keep you updated as the federal rules roll out, and Minnesota’s cannabis market opens. We’ll continue to share updates as the transition unfolds, and you can stay in the loop by following us on social media for the latest news, product changes, and next steps. If you need help, have questions, or want product guidance, the Unwind team is always happy to help.

When browsing edibles, you’ll often notice them labeled as Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid. These categories are a simple way to help guide your shopping experience and choose how you want to feel. While everyone’s body responds differently, understanding the general differences can help you make confident, comfortable choices. Sativa Often described as uplifting and energizing, Sativa edibles are typically chosen for daytime or active moments. Many people enjoy them for: Supporting focus and creativity A boost in mood or motivation Social and daytime activities Think of Sativa edibles as a good option when you want a bright, upbeat experience without feeling weighed down. Hybrid Hybrid edibles blend characteristics of both Indica and Sativa. They offer balanced effects and are ideal for: General mood support Flexible, anytime use Customers who want middle-ground effects Hybrids are a great option if you want versatility or aren’t sure which direction to go, they deliver a bit of both worlds. Indica Indica edibles are often associated with calm, relaxation, and body-focused effects. They’re commonly chosen for: Evening unwinding Relaxation and stress relief Supporting sleep or deep rest If you’re looking for something to help you settle in, decompress, or prepare for bed, Indica is a great place to start. A Helpful Tip While these labels are a useful guide, your experience can also depend on things like: Dosage Terpenes (the natural plant compounds that influence flavor and effects) Your personal body chemistry and tolerance Two people can eat the same edible and feel slightly different effects, and that's totally normal. If you're unsure where to start, we’re always happy to help you choose based on what you're looking for, whether that’s a calm night in, a creative afternoon, or something balanced for everyday use. Keep in mind that dosage, terpenes, and personal body chemistry also play a big role in how an edible feels. If you’re ever unsure where to start, just ask! We’re here to help you find the right fit for your intended effect and lifestyle.

Edibles are one of the most popular and enjoyable ways to experience cannabis. They’re flavorful, convenient, and offer different experiences depending on the type you choose. Here’s a quick guide to help you explore your options and find what fits your vibe: Gummies - The go-to for most people. Gummies are tasty, easy to dose, and available in lots of flavors. Perfect for beginners and regular consumers alike. Chocolates - Rich, smooth, and indulgent. Chocolates offer a premium feel and are great if you want a discreet, delicious treat. Beverages - Cannabis drinks are growing fast in popularity. They often kick in quicker than traditional edibles and are a fun, social alternative to alcohol. Baked Treats - Think cookies, brownies, and other nostalgic snacks. Great if you want something unique and playful beyond the usual gummy. Tinctures - Not exactly a snack but still taken by mouth. Tinctures allow flexible dosing and can work faster when placed under the tongue. A solid choice for wellness-focused consumers. Each edible type brings something different — whether you’re looking for precise dosing, a social experience, a tasty treat, or a wellness-friendly option.
