New Jersey Hemp Industry Seeks Support From Rep. Pallone
New Jersey hemp farmers and small businesses are calling on Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J), chair of the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee, to hold a hearing on hemp-derived products such as CBD, to help facilitate a regulatory pathway for their sale.
As Congress addresses the nation’s major urgent public health issues, New Jersey is fortunate to have someone seated at the head of the table: U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone.
Indeed, Chairman Pallone is in a unique position to address a critical health and safety issue plaguing the Garden State — the proliferation of unregulated products that are being sold under the guise of the “hemp” or “CBD” name that raise significant quality, safety, intoxication, and other consumer protection concerns. Given the threats posed to public health, particularly to children, the time for Chairman Pallone to act is now.
Urge your members of Congress to support legislation that would #regulateCBDnow
