Effective immediately, we have suspended the sale of our
hemp-based products in California due to new regulations enacted under an
emergency order by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Governor Newsom’s emergency order bans the full-spectrum CBD
products available to California residents that have been scientifically proven
to have more efficacy than CBD isolates that contain 0% THC.
These regulations, implemented by the California Department
of Public Health (CDPH), ban the sale of hemp-derived products containing any
detectable THC, even in trace amounts. This abrupt shift disregards the federal
2018 Farm Bill's standard, which permits hemp products with up to 0.3% THC on a
dry-weight basis. The state’s overly restrictive measures have effectively
eradicated 90-95% hemp products from the California market, stifling
innovation, harming small businesses, and stripping consumers of access to
safe, non-intoxicating wellness products.
While the intention behind these policies may have been to
protect children from illegal THC products, the execution has been
unnecessarily punitive and short-sighted.
We urge Governor Newsom and California lawmakers to
reconsider this rigid approach and to collaborate with stakeholders to create
balanced regulations that protect children while supporting consumers’ and
patients’ right to access quality hemp medicine.
For now, we deeply regret that we can no longer serve our
California customers and remain committed to advocating for change.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
