Stop the Enactment of HB1613 and SB1698 Criminalizing Hemp


Stop the Enactment of HB1613 and SB1698 Criminalizing Hemp
The Issue
Our company was founded with a mission to provide holistic healing for those in need. We believe in the power of nature, particularly the Hemp plant, which has been used for centuries as a natural remedy. However, two proposed laws in Florida - HB1613 and SB1698 - threaten our ability to continue providing these essential services.
These bills aim to criminalize all Hemp products, an action that would not only affect our business but also limit access to natural remedies for thousands of Floridians who rely on them. The hemp industry is projected to reach $26.6 billion by 2025 (Grand View Research), demonstrating its significant economic potential. By criminalizing hemp, Florida risks losing out on this growth opportunity.
Moreover, scientific studies have shown that hemp can be beneficial for various health conditions such as chronic pain and anxiety (National Institute on Drug Abuse). Criminalizing it would deny people suffering from these conditions access to a potentially effective treatment option.
We urge lawmakers in Florida to not just consider the economic implications but also understand how their decision could impact individuals who depend on hemp products for their wellbeing. Let's work together towards regulations that support both business growth and consumer needs rather than criminalizing an entire industry.
Please sign this petition today and help us stop the enactment of these bills! You can visit HelpSaveHemp or Truelies.org for more information and contact your Florida state representatives, urging them to vote 'NO' to HB1613 and SB1698.
