PLEASE call your Senators TODAY (202) 224-3121. Please oppose any amendment that removes the h**p extension from the Continuing Resolution. Congress needs time to complete a responsible regulatory framework, not a sweeping federal h**p ban.

ADDRESSING THE FACTS ON NON-INTOXICATING CBD
One of the most consistent arguments made by advocates of a h**p ban is that under the ban, non-intoxicating CBD products would still be available to consumers. A recent joint letter from 35 state attorneys general says that the ban would preserve “access to safe, nonintoxicating h**p products."
THIS IS MANIFESTLY NOT TRUE. Under the proposed ban, the vast majority of h**p-derived CBD products with greater then 0.4
mg THC per container would be deemed Schedule 1 narcotics – akin to he**in and fentanyl. The vast majority of CBD products use a modest amount of THC in their formulations.
A study by Johns Hopkins has shown the intoxicating threshold for CBD products is 3.7 milligrams of THC per serving, nearly 10 times the limit per container as defined in the h**p ban. Most CBD products have 30 servings per container. Seniors and veterans would commit a federal crime by accessing these products that benefit their health and wellness.
Whitney Economics estimates that under the ban, only 5% of h**p products would remain legal. The remainder of non-intoxicating CBD products – which Whitney Economics comprises a $8.9 to
$12.7 billion market – would be banned in November, unless Congress passes an extension. Nearly one in 5 American adults used CBD in the preceding year. As of 2022, there were 4384 CBD
products offered by 188 brands.
The h**p ban would also make the President’s new CMS pilot program for seniors unworkable. Full spectrum CBD products that presently could be used under the program – which allows up to 3 mg per serving - would be federally illegal. Only CBD isolates could be utilized, a niche product that most Americans do not find helpful.
As Dr. Mehmet Oz writes, the Budd Amendment “would rip away from millions of seniors and disabled Americans the opportunity to benefit from these programs. See less
