HEMP BAN UPDATE

Hemp Ban Update: Take Action Now

The Senate has passed the government funding bill 60–40 with the harmful McConnell–Harris hemp restrictions still buried inside. These changes would effectively ban the vast majority of hemp-derived products, including many full-spectrum CBD oils, gummies, topicals, and other products that are currently legal and widely used.

Important: This bill is not law yet. It must still pass the House of Representatives. This is the critical moment where your voice matters most.

We have a very short window to protect the hemp industry, small farms, independent makers, and the millions of Americans who rely on hemp-based wellness. This page outlines exactly how you can help.

Subject: Please Vote NO on Harmful Hemp Restrictions in the Funding Bill
Dear Representative [Last Name], I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the government funding bill that includes the McConnell–Harris hemp restrictions. These provisions would effectively ban the vast majority of hemp-derived products, including safe, federally legal items like CBD oils, gummies, beverages, and topical creams. This would devastate a $70 billion industry and eliminate hundreds of thousands of American jobs, many of them in small businesses and family farms. For many of us, hemp is more than a product; it is a lifeline. It has supported our health, our livelihoods, and our communities. Here is how hemp has personally helped me or someone I love: [Please briefly share your personal experience here.] This is not about safety. The hemp industry already supports strong testing standards, age restrictions, child-resistant packaging, and clear labeling. Prohibition is not a responsible solution. Please stand with small businesses, farmers, veterans, and families who rely on hemp. I respectfully urge you to reject Section 781 and any version of the funding bill that includes these hemp restrictions, and to support regulation, not prohibition. Thank you for your time and for listening to your constituents. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Your City, State] [Optional: Business or Farm Name]

Step 2: Call Your Representative and the House Rules Committee

Phone calls are powerful. Ask your U.S. House Representative, and key members of the House Rules Committee, to oppose the hemp restrictions and keep hemp-derived products legal.

Call Script (You Can Read This Word-for-Word)

"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I am calling from [Your City, State]. I am deeply concerned about the hemp restrictions hidden inside the current government funding bill. If passed, these provisions would make nearly all hemp-derived products — including safe, federally legal CBD oils and topicals — effectively illegal. This would devastate small businesses and harm people like me who rely on hemp for wellness and livelihoods. I am asking Representative [Name] to vote NO on any funding bill that includes these hemp restrictions and to support regulation, not prohibition. We are asking for fairness, science-based safety standards, and protection of the hemp community — not a backdoor ban. Thank you for your time."

What Is at Stake

  • Redefining hemp in a way that would ban most hemp-derived products, including many topicals and CBD beverages.
  • Eliminating a roughly $70 billion industry and hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
  • Ignoring the strong majority of voters who support regulation, not prohibition.
  • Rejecting the hemp industry's good-faith support for strong safety standards in favor of blanket restrictions.

The hemp community is informed, resilient, and united. We are not powerless, but we must act quickly and in great numbers.

Call. Email. Share this page. Encourage others to act. Together, we can still stop these harmful restrictions and protect access to hemp-derived wellness.
