Major Development: President Trump Calls on Congress to Protect Hemp Access

President Trump just publicly recognized what millions of Americans already know: hemp derived CBD products matter to consumers, support farmers, and deserve a responsible regulatory framework- not prohibition.

With an impending federal ban set to take effect this November, Congress must act quickly to preserve access to safe, legal hemp products while establishing clear safeguards for consumers.

The U.S. hemp industry is ready to work with policymakers on a solution that protects farmers, small businesses, and the Americans who rely on these products every day.
