We wanted to share an important update that will directly impact hemp-derived THC beverages in Minnesota and across the country.
As of today, hemp beverages are facing a federal ban this November. The good news? You can help save hemp. We’re asking everyone who believes in responsible regulation, consumer choice, and supporting small businesses to take just a few minutes and join two important advocacy efforts.
🌱 Action #1: Extend the federal deadline.
Ask your U.S. Senators to support extending the hemp prohibition deadline in the Senate Continuing Resolution (CR), giving Congress the time needed to pass thoughtful, workable hemp legislation.
🌱 Action #2: Support the bipartisan Barr-Craig bill.
Help build support for the bipartisan legislation bill led by Reps. Andy Barr and Minnesota’s own Angie Craig to create a clear, responsible federal framework for hemp-derived products and beverages.

Whether you’re a consumer, retailer, brewer, farmer, or simply someone who values the freedom to choose these products responsibly, your voice matters. Please help us save hemp. This is a truly bipartisan effort. Leaders from both sides of the aisle—including Rep. Angie Craig, Rep. Andy Barr, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Tina Smith, and many Republican and Democratic partners—are working alongside breweries, farmers, retailers, wholesalers, trade associations, and consumers to find a responsible path forward that protects businesses while establishing sensible federal regulation.
It only takes a few minutes – together we can help protect hemp, hemp beverages, the thousands of jobs this industry supports, and the freedom of responsible adults to choose these products.
Every email. Every phone call. Every voice matters. 🌱
