SB 438 and SB 1030 would impose arbitrary and overly restrictive limits on hemp products. These bills would ban the vast majority of hemp products on the market and implement excessively burdensome marketing and packaging rules that harm legitimate hemp businesses.  Alternatively, HB 601 presents a balanced approach to regulation, with manageable THC limits and age restrictions. 

Banning hemp products is a step backwards. A ban will reduce economic opportunities for hemp farmers and small businesses and take products away from consumers who have come to rely on them for their health and wellness.

Rather than ban hemp-derived THC products, please ask legislators to consider a regulatory framework which models what many other states have chosen—stronger enforcement, licensing for manufacturers and sellers, independent testing of hemp products, adequate labeling which prohibits child-enticing images, and age restrictions for consumable hemp products. Rather than banning hemp THC products, these reasonable restrictions ensure that adult consumers have direct retail access to the products they need, while keeping intoxicating products out of the hands of children.
