Hemp Rights Are Under Threat — Your Voice Matters

Across the country, new federal legislation is moving forward that could ban hemp products in 2026 — and the impact would be devastating. This isn’t just about a plant. It’s about patients, farmers, small businesses, and the freedom to choose natural alternatives.

Hemp has helped create thousands of jobs, empowered entrepreneurs, supported veterans and chronic pain patients, and revitalized agriculture in rural communities. If the proposed language becomes law, much of that progress could disappear overnight.

We still have time — but not much. The next 12 months are critical.

What’s at Risk?

✅ Access to safe, regulated hemp wellness products
✅ Local and family-owned hemp businesses
✅ Farmers who rely on hemp as a sustainable crop
✅ Consumer choice and plant-based healthcare options

This legislation isn’t just policy — it affects real people, real livelihoods, and real communities.

Why This Matters to North Carolina

North Carolina has become a hub for hemp business, agriculture, and innovation. Ending legal hemp would harm:

  • Small retailers and entrepreneurs

  • Rural towns supported by hemp farming

  • Employees working in hemp production, sales & distribution

  • Customers who rely on hemp for relief and wellness

Hemp has given NC communities opportunity — and we shouldn’t lose that progress.

What Can You Do?

The most powerful action is also the simplest:

? Call your representatives.

Let them know you oppose restrictive hemp language in upcoming federal legislation and support keeping hemp products legal, regulated, and accessible.

Here’s a script you can use:

“Hi, my name is ____, and I’m a voter in your district.
I’m calling because I’m concerned about new federal rules that could harm the hemp industry. These changes would negatively affect small businesses, farmers, and consumers in North Carolina.
I’m asking you to support keeping hemp legal and to remove the harmful language from the bill. Thank you for your time.”
