Emergency: Lawmakers Are Moving to Ban Hemp Nationwide, ACT NOW

The hemp industry is more threatened at the federal level than ever before. After months of coordinated misinformation campaigns, aggressive lobbying from alcohol and marijuana corporations, and a growing effort in Congress to ban hemp-derived products, the future of this industry and the hundreds of thousands of American jobs it supports is on the line.

The American Healthy Alternatives Association (AHAA) has been working side-by-side with state and federal advocacy groups to push back against these attacks. But following a recent meeting with Senator Rand Paul and other industry leaders, one thing is clear: the time for action is now.

Why This Fight Matters

If a legislator tells you they only represent voters in their home state, remember this—members of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees make funding and policy decisions that affect the entire nation, not just their state. Every American who depends on hemp whether for wellness, agriculture, or small business survival—has a voice in this fight.

Hemp has created a lifeline for farmers, built a new generation of small businesses, and provided millions of Americans with safe, plant-based alternatives. Allowing Congress to erase that progress benefits only corporate interests and entrenched monopolies.
