Right Now: The Future of Hemp-Derived
Cannabis Is on the Line
Across the country, lawmakers are debating how hemp-derived cannabinoids should be regulated. These products will become unlawful to sell starting in November of 2026 unless we act now! Right now, we are asking for your help to urge congress to pass bills in the house and senate that extend this deadline by 2 more years, during which time we aim to help influence the creation of sensible cannabis policy that ensures:
Consumer access
Codified product safety requirements
Protection for children
An environment for farmers & small businesses to flourish
Our mission is simple
Keep hemp-derived cannabis legal. Protect the people who use it. Support the businesses that make it safe.
Why This Matters Now
Hemp-derived cannabinoids are one of America’s fastest-growing wellness and consumer product sectors. But unclear laws and inconsistent state-level regulations put the entire industry at risk.
Without strong advocacy:
States may enact policies different from federal law
Small businesses could be pushed out of the marketplace
Millions of adults may lose access to safe, tested, responsibly manufactured products
Consumers may be forced into unregulated gray or black markets
The solution isn’t prohibition
It’s smart, transparent, modern regulation that protects consumers and ensures nationwide consistency.
Our Vision
A future where:
Hemp-derived cannabis products remain legal across the U.S.
Regulations focus on safety, testing, transparency, and age controls
Businesses operate under fair, clear, consistent rules
Adults retain the freedom to choose federally legal hemp-derived products
Policymakers understand the economic, agricultural, and personal-freedom benefits of hemp
We work to educate, advocate, and organize so that lawmakers
hear directly from the people who are impacted most.
What We Stand For
National Consistency
Patchwork laws create confusion. We support regulatory standards that align with federal definitions.
Consumer Protection
Accurate testing, labeling, age restrictions, and transparency—not bans—are what keep communities safe.
Agricultural & Small Business Support
The hemp industry supports farmers, manufacturers, retailers, delivery services, and logistics partners nationwide.
Adult Freedom of Choice
We support responsible adult access to legally compliant hemp-derived cannabinoids.
