🌿 Advocacy in Action! 🇺🇸 This Wednesday, April 17th, was a monumental day for the hemp industry! Members of the US Hemp Roundtable took to Capitol Hill to champion the causes close to our hearts. We're here to make a difference! They met with over 50 Members of Congress from 18 states and Washington DC to discuss the significant issues and opportunities facing our industry. Their voices were loud and clear: responsible regulation, not prohibition! 🚫 As discussions about the Farm Bill heat up, some are pushing to federally criminalize all hemp products containing THC. This is a critical moment! Such measures would not only stifle innovation but also unfairly impact responsible consumers and businesses alike. We need smart, sensible policies that protect consumers, especially minors, without hindering the growth of the entire hemp sector. 🌱 Stand with us as we fight for fair legislation and continue to educate our leaders on the true benefits and safe use of hemp products. Every voice counts! #HempAdvocacy #USHRoundtable #FarmBill2024 #HempEducation #PolicyChange

Prior to this detrimental hasty action, basic due diligence would have provided key insights acknowledging that the groundwork has already been established for a successful, thriving, dynamic Hemp/CBD Industry, providing these regulations are followed. But now we need your help...

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) proposed an amendment that would federally ban "all ingestible hemp products with any level of T H C." According to MJ Biz, "That language would render most products containing delta-8 T H C and other novel cannabinoids such as HHC illegal under federal law. That includes T H C A. Yesterday the Mary Miller Amendment was passed without a roll call vote. Meaning voters were left OUT of the decision. Let's remind lawmakers that they represent US. And WE stand united with the hemp industry.

🚨Attention California Hemp Supporters!🚨 Recent amendments to AB 2223 threaten the thriving hemp industry in California. These amendments propose restrictive THC potency limits, potentially crippling hemp products with caps at 0.25mg total THC per serving or 1mg total THC per package. Such regulations could dismantle the full spectrum hemp industry, undoing the progress made since the passage of AB 45. But there's hope. We can take action to protect the future of hemp in California. It's crucial that we unite and urge our legislators to oppose these harmful THC potency limits. Ready to make a difference?

Could this be Governor Newsomes’ inspiration for his idiotic fake hemp emergency? Same old hysteria and misinformation. Different decade. Reefer madness rears is ugly head again with more nonsensical piñata swinging chicanery. If the Natural products industry and the public doesn’t join in solidarity with Hemp inclusive companies in generating resistance to this nonsense, then they’ll keep using it as the template of harassment for everything that isn’t liquor and big pharma. Holy basil, Ashwaganda, Valerian, Hops, Kava Kava, passion flower, every kind of mushroom, white Willow, lemon balm, they’re going to be coming for it all and using the same indirect methods of suppression and harassment until all that is left is liquor and pharmaceuticals. Lies and hysteria are what the law is supposed to protect you from, not what is used to make them.
