In 2026, Hinman sponsored a bill to impose a statewide ban on intoxicating hemp products. Members of the Missouri Hemp Trade Association oppose the bill, saying that it would effectively wipe out their industry.

Regulations on hemp products, particularly CBD, have been debated since statewide cannabis legalization and also debated on a federal level.
