The Fight to Save Hemp: Congress Is Quietly Trying to Kill an Entire Industry

Graphic of U.S. Capitol wrapped in hemp leaves with protest signs reading “Keep Hemp Legal” and “Stop the Ban,” symbolizing opposition to Section 781 and the national hemp ban.

Missouri alert: Congress tucked a hemp ban (Section 781) into the Ag-FDA spending bill. It would redefine hemp and wipe out CBD, THCA and hemp-derived THC products, hurting farmers, patients, and small businesses. Support Sen. Rand Paul’s amendment to strike Section 781. Call Senate leadership, email Sen. Schmitt’s office, and join the Save MO Hemp WhatsApp group.
