The hemp industry is facing the most significant federal threat since the 2018 Farm Bill. In late 2025, Congress passed — and the President signed — a federal funding bill (H.R. 5371) that rewrites the definition of hemp nationwide.
This isn’t alarmism—it’s reality. And it’s exactly why your voice matters more than ever.
In this recent WCCO segment, Josh breaks down what this legislation means for Minnesota’s model, for consumers, and for the entire national hemp market.
What’s Actually Happening in Washington?
Nearly 95% of hemp-derived THC and CBD products would no longer meet the federal definition of hemp. That’s beverages, gummies, oils, tinctures, vapes, capsules — everything from wellness CBD to low-dose hemp beverages. If unchanged, these rules take effect in late 2026. That means products that millions of people rely on today could be illegal less than a year from now.
This isn’t just a regulatory shift. It’s an economic and public-health earthquake.
This bill doesn’t protect the public. It eliminates safe, legal hemp options and drives demand into unregulated markets — the exact opposite of what consumers deserve.
Our mission has always been simple:
Mindfully crafted and highly effective products that people can trust.
We believe in transparency. We believe in regulation. We believe in empowering people with safe, consistent, tested hemp options.
This legislation threatens all of that — not because hemp is unsafe, but because the law was written without the voices of the community it impacts.
We’re fighting to change that. And we’re proud to stand with partners, consumers, and policymakers who want a responsible path forward.
Here’s the good news: nothing is final.
There is already pushback in Congress. There is already momentum behind amendments and repeal. And lawmakers are paying close attention to the public response.
This next chapter will be shaped by pressure — your pressure.
This is a pivotal moment.
The next year will determine whether people continue to have access to safe, regulated hemp products or whether federal policy erases the entire category overnight.
We’re not letting that happen without a fight.
And we’re grateful to have you on our side.

Creativity has often been portrayed as chaotic. The all-nighter, bursts of genius, the messy muse. But what if creativity is actually a state of presence, a type of rhythm we can return to when our mind, body, and energy align.
It’s harvest season – a moment to gather what’s grown, let go of what’s not, and step into the darker months with purpose.
There’s a quiet revolution happening at happy hour, and it’s not about ordering another round. More than ever, people are questioning their relationship with alcohol.
