šŸŒ± **Joe breaks down another piece of Virginiaā€™s h**p story that deserves more attention.

H**p is more than THC. Itā€™s agriculture.

As Joe explains, some h**p varieties can produce high levels of cannabinoids while still remaining within the legal THC threshold. H**p can be grown for grain, fiber, cannabinoids and more ā€” and understanding that matters when we talk about how this plant should be regulated.

As Virginia shifts cannabinoid h**p oversight away from the Department of Agriculture and toward the Cannabis Control Authority, we have to ask:

**Are we starting to forget that h**p is an agricultural commodity? **

These decisions don't just affect products on a shelf. They affect the Virginia farmers growing the plant, the businesses creating products from it, and the future of an industry that was built around far more than getting high.

That's why Joe keeps educating ā€” and why we're going to keep having these conversations. šŸŒ±

Virginia h**p doesn't start on a store shelf. It starts with the farmer. šŸŒ±

Our h**p is grown outdoors ā€” in Virginia soil, under Virginia sun. But as Virginia continues reshaping h**p and building its future cannabis market, we need to ask what kind of agricultural system we're actually creating.

If regulations push cultivation toward limited indoor canopy models focused primarily on flower, what happens to the rest of the plant ā€” and the farmers who built businesses around using it?

The trimmings and biomass from h**p can support an entire range of products: non-intoxicating topicals, pet products, C*D products and more. Those cannabinoids shouldn't have to disappear from the marketplace simply because they aren't part of the traditional "flower" model.

If a non-intoxicating h**p topical can sit on a shelf at a major retailer, why shouldn't the cannabinoids used to make it come from a Virginia farmer?

This conversation is bigger than THC.

It's about agriculture.
It's about small businesses.
It's about using the whole plant.
And it's about making sure Virginia's next set of rules doesn't leave Virginia farmers behind.

Regulation should protect consumers **without destroying the agricultural ecosystem h**p was supposed to create.**

šŸŒ± Protect Virginia farmers.
šŸŒ± Protect h**p agriculture.
šŸŒ± Revisit Virginia's h**p laws.

Virginia changed h**pā€”but it didnā€™t change the fee.

After drastically reducing what h**p retailers can legally sell, Virginia still requires businesses to pay a **$1,000 annual registration fee for every retail location** carrying regulated h**p products.

Think about what that means for a small store considering compliant h**p:

Pay $1,000 before making the first saleā€”then try to recover that cost from a product selection Virginia has severely restricted.

**Less product.
Less earning opportunity.
The same $1,000 barrier.**

This doesnā€™t encourage new businesses to enter the compliant market. It makes stores question whether carrying legal h**p is financially possible at allā€”and that directly hurts Virginia manufacturers, retailers, farmers and consumers.

If Virginia is serious about supporting responsible, compliant businesses, lawmakers must reconsider the h**p law as a whole.

**Revisit the h**p bill.
Call a special session for h**p. **

Virginia is for lovers? Not anymore. Apparently, Virginia is for 2mg of total THC per packageā€”because nothing says ā€œpublic safetyā€ like forcing adults to buy more packages while small businesses absorb the cost. šŸ™ƒ

Virginia h**p businesses were told to adapt in 2023.

So they did.

Virginia established stricter rules, required age verification for regulated h**p products, imposed new packaging and testing requirements, and preserved a 25:1 C*D-to-THC pathway that allowed qualifying full-spectrum h**p products to remain on the market.

Businesses reformulated. They changed labels. They changed packaging. They changed the products on their shelves. They spent the money necessary to comply.

The message seemed clear: **Follow these rules, and there is a path forward for compliant h**p in Virginia.**

Then, three years later, the rules changed again.

In 2026, Virginia eliminated the 25:1 exception and imposed a 2mg total-THC-per-package limit on covered h**p products.

And that raises a question worth asking:

**If a business follows every rule the state puts in front of it, how many times can you completely rewrite those rules before compliance itself becomes impossible? **

This conversation shouldn't be reduced to ā€œgas station weed.ā€

We're talking about an entire h**p industryā€”including farmers, manufacturers, retailers and businesses that invested heavily in becoming compliant with the rules Virginia previously created.

There should absolutely be rules. There should be testing. There should be responsible sales practices and protections for minors.

But regulation and elimination are two very different things.

Virginia found a way to regulate full-spectrum h**p in 2023.

So why wasn't improving that system an option in 2026?

This fight was never supposed to be about just one business.

Graham Redfern helped create the Cannabis Small Business Association because small businesses, farmers, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers deserve a voice when decisions are being made about the future of this industry.

Redfern H**p Co. has been part of Virginiaā€™s h**p industry for years. Weā€™ve grown with it, adapted with it, invested in itā€”and when necessary, fought for it.

That means investing time and resources into lobbying, education, advocacy, and making sure lawmakers hear from the people actually affected by these decisions.

Not because we expect special treatment.

Because we want a fair chance to survive.

And this isnā€™t only about businesses. Itā€™s about the consumers who have relied on these products, the employees whose livelihoods depend on this industry, and the Virginia small businesses trying to do things the right way.

Weā€™re still here. Weā€™re still educating. And weā€™re still fighting for a path forward for Virginia h**p.

Virginia officials say the new 2mg h**p cap is about public safety.

So letā€™s talk honestly about safety.

Virginiaā€™s own health data says smoking causes approximately 10,300 adult deaths every yearā€”plus another 1,600 deaths from secondhand smoke.

Alcohol was linked to an estimated 3,667 Virginia deaths in 2020. In 2025 alone, Virginia recorded 6,152 alcohol-related crashes, 4,778 injuries and 248 deaths.

To***co and alcohol remain legal for adults. Virginia regulates them through age restrictions, warnings, licensing, taxes and enforcement.

So where is the public evidence showing a comparable crisis caused specifically by compliant 25:1 h**p products, full-spectrum C*D or natural h**p flower?

Instead of presenting that evidence and holding a conventional hearing on the final language, officials placed this permanent industry-wide restriction inside a massive budget compromise. Businesses and consumers were given only weeks to absorb the consequences.

Now compliant businesses are losing inventory, farmers are losing markets, consumers are losing trusted products, and adults can apparently still purchase twenty-five separate 2mg packages to obtain the same 50mg total.

How does multiplying packages, prices and waste solve the safety problem?

We support age restrictions.
We support accredited testing.
We support child-resistant packaging.
We support accurate labels and strong enforcement against unsafe sellers.

But public safety should target actual risks and bad actorsā€”not erase full-spectrum products, natural flower and an entire compliant industry.

Virginia leaders: call a special session. Restore 25:1 as an immediate bridge, then create targeted, evidence-based rules that protect consumers without destroying Virginia h**p.

Most people donā€™t realize Virginiaā€™s new h**p law affects h**p flower, tooā€”and the numbers show just how severe the disadvantage is.

Virginia now limits an entire package to just 2mg of total THC.

For perspective:

šŸŒæ 1 gram of flower testing at 0.3% total THC contains approximately 3mg.

šŸŒæ A standard 3.5-gram container contains approximately 10.5mg.

That means even one gram can exceed Virginiaā€™s package limit. To sell 3.5 grams in one compliant package, the flower would need to test at approximately 0.057% total THC or less.

The plant may legally qualify as h**p based on its concentration, yet become nearly impossible to sell once placed in an ordinary retail package.

This isnā€™t reasonable regulation. It places Virginia farmers and compliant small businesses at a severe disadvantage while taking trusted products away from the people who rely on them.

We support testing, responsible labeling, age restrictions and sensible regulationā€”but the numbers must make sense in the real world.

Virginia, this law needs to change.

Virginiaā€™s new 2mg total THC limit applies to the entire packageā€”not each serving.

Think about how unreasonable that is: A h**p product that previously contained 50mg of THC in one package would now require 25 separately packaged 2mg products to equal the same amount.

If each package contains only 1mg of THC, a customer would need 50 individually packaged gummies or chocolates to reach that same 50mg total.

That means more packaging, more waste, more expense for customers, and an enormous burden on compliant Virginia small businessesā€”all without meaningfully addressing the real concerns lawmakers claimed they wanted to solve.

This isnā€™t sensible regulation. It is direct government overreach, and Virginiaā€™s h**p businesses, farmers, employees, and customers are paying the price.

Before Redfern H**p Co. became a brand, it began with a farmer fighting for an opportunity.

In 2017, Graham Redfern began lobbying for the ability to grow industrial h**p in Virginia for multiple agricultural purposes. He later received his first research license through Virginiaā€™s regulated h**p research program, working alongside institutions including UVA, Virginia Tech, JMU and Virginia State University.

Then came the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed qualifying h**p from the federal definition of ma*****na and opened the door for commercial h**p production.

From 2018 into 2019, Graham began building Redfern H**p Co. Since 2019, the company has grown h**p, manufactured products, supplied wholesale accounts and served customers directly through retail.

This wasnā€™t a business created overnight to take advantage of a trend. It was built through research, agriculture, compliance and years of investment in Virginiaā€™s h**p industry.

Graham helped advocate for the opportunity to grow this cropā€”and then followed the rules Virginia established. Now, after years of building a legitimate farm-based operation, sudden regulatory changes are threatening much of what Redfern and other responsible businesses worked to create.

This is what Virginia stands to lose: local agriculture, manufacturing, employment, small businesses and consumer choice.
