Congressman Andy Barr and Congresswoman Angie Craig have introduced the bipartisan Lawful H**p Protection Act. This is an important step toward replacing prohibition with regulation and creating a federal framework for lawful h**p products.
The bill would establish federal standards for h**p-derived consumable products, including labeling, packaging, age verification requirements, cannabinoid oversight, interstate commerce protections, and restrictions on certain synthetic cannabinoids.
Most importantly, it offers a real alternative to the federal h**p ban scheduled to take effect this November.
The legislation would revise the federal definition of h**p, establish federal standards for h**p-derived consumable products, restrict certain synthetic cannabinoids, create a framework for h**p-derived beverages, and direct FDA to establish future cannabinoid limits through rulemaking and scientific review. If FDA does not act within a year, the bill sets a 5 mg THC serving limit for ingestible products. It also includes provisions addressing synthetic cannabinoids.
Reps. Barr and Craig deserve tremendous credit for advancing a bipartisan legislative solution and engaging directly with stakeholders across the h**p industry throughout this process.
Now we need Congress to build momentum behind this effort. Contact your Representative today and urge them to cosponsor the Lawful H**p Protection Act: https://h**psupporter.com/bill/tell-congress-cosponsor-the-bipartisan-lawful-h**p-protection-act/
