Save Hemp Beverages

Hemp beverages will be illegal unless congress acts

Low-dose THC beverages available today in Minnesota — and across the country — will disappear from liquor stores, taprooms, and coolers. No exceptions. No Minnesota workaround.

The ban doesn't stop at THC beverages. Gummies, CBD products, and all hemp-derived items are swept up in the same prohibition.

THE ASK.

We're asking Congress to:

  • Regulate hemp beverages like alcohol
  • Give states the power to oversee their own markets
  • Protect consumers, jobs, and small businesses
  • Stop the November 12 federal ban before it takes effect

THIS ISN'T FEDERAL — IT'S PERSONAL

Minnesota's progress won't protect you.

It's easy to assume that because Minnesota has built a legal, regulated hemp market, these products are protected here. They are not. A federal ban overrides everything the state has built.

"For Fulton, this impacts more than one product line. It impacts local jobs, retailers, manufacturers, farmers, distributors, and small businesses."

WHAT HAPPENS IF CONGRESS DOESN'T ACT?

The consequences are concrete

  • Products disappear from retailers and taprooms
  • Minnesota businesses lose revenue
  • Jobs across the hemp supply chain are at risk
  • Consumer demand doesn't disappear — the market goes underground

This is not a solution. It is a step backward.

BANS DON'T STOP DEMAND. REGULATION PROTECTS PEOPLE.

What a smart framework looks like

Congress should create a regulatory framework that keeps consumers safe and gives states the ability to govern their own markets.

  • 21+ purchase requirements
  • Clear labeling
  • Licensing and product tracing
  • Independent lab testing
  • No marketing to minors
  • State-level oversight

THOUSANDS OF VOICES

Minnesotans have already sent a message to Congress. Add yours — it takes under a minute.

If you enjoy low-dose THC beverages, support Minnesota small businesses, or believe regulation is better than prohibition — now is the time to speak up.
