🚨 THE SENATE HEARD US. NOW ALL EYES ARE ON THE HOUSE.

This weekend brought some genuinely good news for h**p.

The U.S. Senate voted 61–32 to reject an attempt to remove the temporary h**p extension from the government funding bill.

Then the Senate passed the funding package 90–6 — with the h**p extension still in it.

👏 That is a win.

But h**p is NOT saved yet.

The House still has to approve the Senate’s legislation with the h**p extension intact.

If that happens and the bill is signed into law, the federal h**p restrictions currently scheduled to take effect November 12 would be pushed back roughly one month, to December 11.

Is one month enough? No.

But it gives Congress something we desperately need:

⏳ TIME.

Time to work toward a real federal solution that protects consumers, sets responsible standards for this industry, and preserves legal adult access instead of allowing sweeping federal restrictions to take effect.

And here’s the part we don’t want anyone to miss:

🚨 61–32. WE WON THIS ROUND. 🇺🇸

For weeks, we have asked you to call. Text. Email. Click the action links. Then do it again.

Today, we got to see exactly why it matters.

The U.S. Senate voted 61–32 to defeat an attempt to remove the h**p extension, keeping the extension intact and preventing the broader federal h**p restrictions from taking effect on November 12 as originally scheduled.

YOU helped make this happen.

Every call. Every email. Every action alert. Every person who told Congress that REGULATION — NOT PROHIBITION — is the answer.

But please understand:

⚠️ The federal h**p ban has NOT been permanently defeated.

What we won today is something incredibly valuable:

⏳ TIME.

The extension pushes the broader deadline to December 11, giving Congress additional time to work toward a federal framework that protects consumers, keeps products away from minors, and allows responsible businesses and the millions of Americans who rely on lawful h**p products to remain part of this industry.

And now we have something else:

MOMENTUM.

61 Senators just voted against an effort that would have allowed the November deadline to move forward unchanged.

So today, celebrate this win. You earned it.

Tomorrow, we keep fighting.

Because the goal was never simply to delay prohibition.

🇺🇸 THE GOAL IS REGULATION, NOT PROHIBITION.

Thank you to every single person who has answered our calls to action. This is proof that advocacy works.

What if lawmakers only hear one side of the story?

Every day, organizations on both sides of this issue are contacting Congress.

They’re sharing their opinions.
They’re telling lawmakers what they believe should happen.
They’re making sure their voices are heard.

The question is…

Will yours be one of them?

Whether you use h**p for wellness, relaxation, sleep, recovery, or simply believe adults should have the freedom to choose legal h**p products, your opinion deserves to be part of the conversation.

If people who support responsible, regulated h**p stay silent, lawmakers are left hearing from those who want to eliminate these products entirely.

It takes less than two minutes to make sure your voice is included.

Please do both. Every message helps demonstrate that real consumers, small businesses, farmers, veterans, and families are paying attention.

Silence is still a message. Make sure yours isn’t the only one Congress never hears.

🚨 Washington Is Still Deciding the Future of H**p. Your Voice Still Matters. 🚨

The fight isn’t over.

The White House has already asked Congress to revise the federal h**p language—or at minimum delay implementation—because lawmakers recognize the current language would have devastating consequences for consumers, farmers, and thousands of small businesses across the country.

Without a legislative fix, the current federal language is expected to eliminate the overwhelming majority of h**p-derived cannabinoid products from the legal marketplace, including many products consumers have relied on for years as part of their wellness routines.

Congress needs to hear from the people who will actually be affected—not just industry groups.

📣 Don’t do it just once. Please take action EVERY DAY until Congress makes a decision.

Legislators pay attention when they continue hearing from their constituents. A few minutes each day can make a real difference in showing that this issue matters to thousands of Americans.

The conversation in Washington is still happening. That means your voice still matters.

Over the last few days, we’ve seen that lawmakers are continuing to negotiate the future of h**p. Nothing has been finalized yet—but time is running short.

This is exactly why we can’t stop speaking up now.

If you believe adults should continue to have access to safe, regulated h**p products…

If you believe businesses shouldn’t disappear because of an avoidable federal policy…

If you believe regulation is a better solution than prohibition…

Now is the time to act.

🚨 Imagine Walking Into Your Favorite H**p Store This November…

The shelves are empty.

The gummies you use to sleep? Gone.

The CBD that helps you get through the day? Gone.

The drink you buy every weekend? Gone.

The product that helped your spouse, your parent, your veteran friend, or your neighbor? Gone.

Not because people stopped buying them.

Not because they weren’t safe.

Because Congress allowed a law to take effect without fixing it.

This isn’t fear. This is the reality if Section 781 isn’t amended before the implementation date. Millions of adults could lose access to products they’ve used responsibly for years, and thousands of small businesses could disappear along with them.

Please don’t assume someone else will speak up.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: H**p Extension Language Is Under Threat 🚨

Senator Ted Budd has announced plans to offer an amendment that would remove the temporary h**p extension included in the Continuing Resolution (CR).

This extension is critical. It gives Congress the time needed to develop a thoughtful, long-term h**p policy rather than allowing a sweeping ban to take effect before lawmakers have finished their work.

The h**p industry supports strong safeguards to keep intoxicating products away from children, including age restrictions, responsible labeling, child-resistant packaging, and enforcement against bad actors.
Removing the extension will not solve these challenges- it will prevent Congress from finishing the job.

We need your help now.

Use our Federal Action Center to contact your Senators and urge them to protect the h**p extension in the CR. Together, we can ensure Congress has the time needed to get this right!

🚨 “I only use CBD. This doesn’t affect me.” 🚨

We hear this every day.

Unfortunately, if the current federal language moves forward unchanged, this isn’t just about THC products.

Millions of Americans rely on h**p-derived CBD as part of their daily wellness routine. Families, veterans, seniors, athletes, and working professionals have spent years finding products that work for them. Those products could disappear from shelves—not because consumers asked for it, but because of broad federal language that would dramatically reshape the h**p marketplace.

This isn’t about whether you personally use THC.

It’s about whether adults should continue to have access to legal h**p-derived wellness products they’ve trusted for years.

If you value consumer choice and believe regulation should make products safer—not eliminate them altogether—now is the time to speak up.

⏳ Time is running out to influence the final language.

✅ Then text SIGN PVMWIZ to 50409 to send a message directly to your members of Congress.

Please don’t assume someone else will do it. Every submission strengthens the case that Americans want sensible regulation—not the elimination of an entire category of legal h**p products.

🚨 If you think this only affects h**p businesses, think again.

This isn’t about one product.
It’s about taking away consumer choice.

If Congress allows the proposed federal h**p language to move forward unchanged, Americans won’t just lose high-THC products.

They’ll lose:
• CBD products they’ve relied on for years
• Sleep formulas with cannabinoids
• Wellness products used for stress and recovery
• H**p beverages
• Countless products that millions of adults legally purchase today

You won’t be able to drive to another state.
You won’t be able to order them online.
You won’t be able to find another store.

They’re simply gone.

Whether you personally use these products or not, every American should be concerned when legal products used responsibly by millions of adults disappear overnight instead of being regulated responsibly.

There is still a small window to encourage Congress to adopt a better path—one that protects consumers, supports responsible businesses, and keeps products away from minors without eliminating an entire industry.

🚨 THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. 🚨

We still see comments like:

“I’ll just order online.”

“I’ll just drive to another state.”

“Businesses will just move.”

None of those will be an option if the proposed federal language becomes law.

This isn’t just an Alabama issue.

This is a federal issue that would affect h**p programs across the country.

If enacted, the proposed testing requirements would effectively eliminate the legal market for h**p-derived THC products nationwide.

That means:

❌ No ordering online from another state.
❌ No driving across state lines to buy the products you use today.
❌ No moving your business to another state to continue selling the same products.
❌ No “safe state” where these products will still be available.

There won’t be another state to turn to. There won’t be another website to order from. There won’t be another legal market waiting somewhere else.

Whether you’re a consumer who relies on these products as part of your wellness routine or a small business owner whose livelihood depends on them, the time to speak up is NOW—not after it’s too late.
