Dear Friend,
The United States Senate is poised to overwhelmingly pass legislation banning hemp intoxicants, but Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is holding the bill hostage until he kills the hemp language. Senator Paul wants to create a carve out for THC products like hemp beverages, in effect legalizing marijuana federally.
Please ask your Senator to close the hemp loophole and Stand Against Rand!
The “Miller Amendment” prohibiting hemp-derived THC products is included in the Senate’s Agriculture/FDA Appropriations bill this year. The Appropriations Committee sent a strong message that they support taking hemp intoxicants off the shelves by unanimously voting to advance the legislation. The full Senate is set to vote on the bill, but Senator Rand Paul is single-handedly holding up the process because of the Miller Amendment.
I repeat, Senator Paul’s carve out would essentially mean legalizing marijuana federally.
This absolutely cannot happen.
We need to send a strong message to Rand Paul to stop him in his tracks. Please act now and tell your Senators to Stand Against Rand and oppose his effort to keep dangerous hemp-derived THC on the market!
In partnership,
SAM Action Team
