Talking Points:

Writing to your leaders is an important way to advocate for your industry! We have provided some important talking points to bring up when you communicate with your legislators! Don’t forget to give them your testimony! You are part of their community!

• Market Contraction: Banning THCa and THCp products would eliminate a significant segment of the hemp market, reducing revenue streams for local businesses.

• Economic Impact: The hemp industry contributes millions in tax revenue to the state. Restricting these products could lead to substantial financial losses for both businesses and the state economy.

• Job Losses: A downturn in the hemp market may result in layoffs, affecting thousands of employees within the industry.

• Consumer Access: Consumers seeking hemp-derived products for wellness or recreational purposes would have fewer options, potentially driving them to unregulated markets.

• Regulatory Confusion: Differentiating between authorized and unauthorized cannabinoids could create compliance challenges for businesses, leading to potential legal issues.

• Competitive Disadvantage: Neighboring states with more lenient regulations might attract Tennessee consumers, bringing a disadvantage to local businesses.

• Stifling Innovation: A ban on these cannabinoids could deter hemp research and development, hindering industry innovation.

• Enforcement Costs: Implementing and enforcing a ban would require additional resources, diverting funds from critical areas.
