SB 375 would ban the sale of hemp products that contain THC.  The bill has passed through both chambers of the legislature and now awaits Governor Gianforte’s signature.  If signed, the provisions of the bill would become effective immediately.  

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 access to the products they need, while keeping intoxicating products out of the hands of children. 

Please use this form to contact Governor Gianforte and urge him to oppose this legislation.
