Members from across the country traveled to DC this week to meet with key allies and make new friends on Capitol Hill. We met with over 25 offices on a new framework for regulatory certainty that prioritizes consumer safety and US farmers. Thank you to all who participated!
Exciting news from USHR membership. We were proud to welcome HITA-AZ as our newest member. Thanks to Sully Sullivan and the HITA team!
We are also proud to announce that John Lynch of KushTRAX was elected as the newest member of the Board. Thank you, John, for your service!

Hemp ban set to be delayed a month after House passes funding bill

What a terrific #hemp champion we have in @amyklobuchar. Thanks so much for your passionate leadership on behalf of farmers and consumers.
Good news: The House just passed a bipartisan bill with a key provision based on my legislation to delay the federal hemp ban, which I opposed last year. It’s headed to the President’s desk & he should sign it immediately.
This gives us time to find a long-term solution for our farmers & small businesses.
Thank you @RepAngieCraig for working across the aisle to develop strong bipartisan solutions for our nation's #hemp farmers and consumers.
Yesterday, the House voted to delay the federal hemp ban by one month. It’s a step in the right direction — but it’s not nearly enough.
Thousands of Minnesota workers, farmers, brewers and producers depend on the hemp industry and hemp-derived products. I’ll keep fighting to stop the hemp ban and protect Minnesota jobs.

Statement from U.S. Hemp Roundtable General Counsel Jonathan Miller, after the House passed a short-term funding bill, including a delay on a federal ban on many intoxicating hemp products @SpectrumNewsDC @SpectrumNews1KY
We are so grateful to @TimSheehyMT for his continued leadership on behalf of #hemp farmers and consumers.
BREAKING: The House has passed the CR with the hemp extension intact and sent it to the President's desk.
Congress approved a 1-month extension of the federal hemp restrictions to Dec. 11.
Thank you for your advocacy! The fight for smart, workable hemp regulation continues.
From @RecoveringPol, our General Counsel:
We are very grateful to the President and large bipartisan majorities in Congress for the lifeline of a 30-day extension. Now the important work comes: passing in December robust regulation that cracks down on illicit sales to minors...

Just taking a minute to expressing deep gratitude across a broad coalition from @HempRoundtable @hempbevalliance @BAMCOpolicy and their members to secure a one-month extension to the looming hemp product ban.
So grateful to have @GovAndyBeshear fighting for our industry. #Hemp really is one of the few bipartisan issues in US policy.
Thank you @GovAndyBeshear for standing up for hemp farmers in Kentucky and hemp product consumers all across America 🇺🇸
Remember in November! For a Hemp-Friendly US Senate.
The following bipartisan list of candidates in highly contested races for the U.S. Senate have been vocally pro-hemp over the past few weeks. Please show them some love!
