Sneak Peek: Testimony For Tomorrow’s Historic Hemp Hearing    

Tomorrow is the big day! On Thursday, July 27th at 2:00 PM ET, U.S. Hemp Roundtable General Counsel, Jonathan Miller, will testify before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services during a historic hearing, “Hemp in the Modern World: The Years long Wait for FDA Action.” 

As we announced, this is the first time Congress will formally scrutinize the impact of the Food and Drug Administration’s failure to develop a regulatory pathway for the sale of ingestible hemp products such as CBD. It’s a huge step for the hemp industry! 

Be sure to tune in!  

All Hemp Supporters are encouraged to watch this historic event which will be streamed LIVE below.


We are also sharing Mr. Miller’s written testimony submitted in advance of the hearing for your review!

All written testimonies and official hearing documents will be available to the public in the Committee Repository.
