Hello!
Writing this is Andrew, the back office manager at Suntree CBD. You may or may not know me, but I’m the son of the new owners, and I handled a lot of the behind-the-scenes parts of the business. I’ve disabled the other parts of the website and modified this page in order to give an explanation as to what happened to the store, and what’s changing regarding hemp-derived CBD products.
To put it bluntly, we are no longer in business due to a slew of different things just going wrong for us, and we have no plans to reopen in the future. If you still need products similar to the ones we sold, we recommend Dream Farms, as they are local and they actually manufactured several of the products we sold.
Long story below, short story as follows: products containing THC in any form, even hemp-derived, will become highly regulated soon, and basically the products we sold would no longer be legal to sell. Adjusting our products to match this new regulation would not have been a challenge, but what really hurt our business was that many online retailers of hemp-derived CBD products began selling their products at exhorbitant discounts in order to clear our their soon-to-be illegal inventory. This unfortunately caused us to lose a lot of business; we would go days with only one or two sales, and we would struggle to make profits after filing payroll and paying rent. It just no longer was a viable business for us, so we decided to sell as much as we could and close our doors for good.
So there you have it. I hope that for those of you who relied on our products can find viable alternatives, and I genuinely will miss every single one of you.
From the bottom of our hearts, goodbye.
Longer explanation: At the end of last year (November 2025), Congress passed into law the FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations Act which changes how hemp-derived products must be manufactured and marketed. Ultimately, this is a good change, because it sets stronger requirements for what kind of products can be made with hemp-derived cannabinoids and its various other forms, as well as creating strong regulations for how these products can be advertised and displayed. Originally with the 2018 farm bill, the verbiage allowed any product containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis to be sold over-the-counter, with no need for a medical card. This did not include any limitations for any other forms of THC (such as delta-8, HHC, and others), and also did not limit how much THC could be in the final product being sold to consumers. This loophole meant that anyone, even minors, could feasibly find and purchase hemp-derived THC products that would create an effect as intoxicating as cannabis-derived THC.
To combat this, regulations were changed swiftly to try to prevent minors from purchasing products with high levels of THC in them. Some of our customers may recall that we had to change our packaging and labels a few times to comply with these regulation changes. However, it seemed that these changes were not enough, and a few different bills were introduced to limit hemp-derived cannabinoid legality. The one that actually passed was called the “Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act” which is a mouthful, so I will just refer to it as P.L. 119-37. P.L. 119-37 introduced a change to the legal definition of hemp in order to reclassify products with notable amounts of THC subject to regulation similar to that of cannabis products. This amended definiton will take into effect November 2026, a year after the bill was signed into law.
