If you've seen headlines about new federal hemp regulations lately, you're not imagining it — and if you're a Medterra subscriber, we wanted to walk you through exactly what it means for you, in plain language, well before it affects 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 a nationwide change that affects the entire hemp industry, not a Medterra decision — every brand in this category is adjusting alongside us.
What this regulation 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 new 2.5mg formula; the same product you already love, just recalibrated to meet the new threshold. Many subscribers find that two of the new 2.5mg gummies bring back the experience they're used to — we'll include that guidance with your shipment.
-
If you're subscribed to our 10mg gummies: there isn't a direct equivalent at the new lower threshold, so we're reaching out individually with a few paths forward — including other products in the lineup that might be a great fit. Keep an eye on your email; we'll walk you through your options well before your next order.

What's not changing at Medterra
Our formulas are still third-party tested, still made with U.S.-grown hemp, and still built the way we've always built them — thoughtfully, and with full transparency about what's inside. This is a regulatory shift in potency, not a change in how we source or make your products.
What to do now
Nothing urgent. If you're a current subscriber, we'll walk you through your specific next steps by email over the next few months. If you'd rather 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. This applies across the entire hemp industry — it isn't specific to Medterra.
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 new 2.5mg version starting with your first December shipment. It's the same product, recalibrated to the new threshold. No action is needed to stay subscribed. Many subscribers take two of the new 2.5mg gummies to match the experience they're used to; we'll include usage guidance with your shipment.
I'm subscribed to 10mg gummies — what happens to my order?
There isn't a direct 2.5mg-equivalent for the 10mg line, so your subscription won't auto-convert the same way. We'll reach out with a few alternative paths — including other products that might suit you — and you'll have a simple way to choose in your account before your next order ships. If you'd rather pause or cancel, that option is always available too.
Can I stock up before the change?
Yes! You can swap your subscription to a 2 or 3 unit bundle and unlock a better per-unit price while doing it. This is entirely optional and available from your account.
Is Medterra shutting down or discontinuing products?
No. We're adjusting formulations to stay compliant with the new federal threshold. Our full product lineup, quality standards, and testing practices remain the same.
Will pricing change?
Existing subscribers will be grandfathered into their existing pricing. New purchases and subscribers will see different pricing.
Where can I see exactly what's changing on my account?
Log into your account anytime to review your current subscription, and watch your email. We'll send segment-specific details as the date approaches.
