CODE RED: TIME TO SAVE HEMP!
We Need Your Help!
On May 23rd the House Agriculture Committee voted in the Miller Amendment in the 2024 Farm Bill. This amendment was thrown in less than 24 hours before the Farm Bill was voted on in the House of Representatives. House Agriculture Committee Chairman G.T. Thompson grouped it “en bloc” with several other amendments and subjected them to a voice vote, which passed.
We are certain that the push to destroy the hemp industry is coming from big MSO marijuana. One of our goals is to support and bring legislation that puts Tennesseans first, to protect businesses and consumers from large cooperation’s from flooding the market.
In summary, the Miller Amendment changes the definition of hemp in the Agriculture Marketing Act of 1946 to only include naturally occurring, naturally derived and non-intoxicating cannabinoids. You can read the full amendment here.
This amendment will bring prohibition all non-intoxicating CBD products with any quantifiable amount of THC – meaning 90-95% of the hemp products market would be federally banned.
