PROTECTING FREE MARKET

INNOVATION OVER MONOPOLY

Cannabis markets across the country are drifting toward monopolization — ecosystems engineered to benefit the few while locking out independent operators. The result: diminished competition, stalled innovation, and fewer choices for consumers.

Hemp is a compelling contrast.

It thrives in an open, dynamic market powered by entrepreneurial diversity and is shaped by consumer demand. Hemp reflects what a responsive, competitive marketplace should be.

This isn’t just about hemp — it’s about defending a free market for the plant.
