Q: Why is the hemp industry important?
A: Since 2018, the legal hemp industry has grown into a multi-billion dollar sector, employing 38,000 individuals. This industry is crucial for providing legal THC options for health symptoms, especially in states like Indiana where medical and recreational THC are not available.
Q: What are the proposed changes and their impact?
A: Proposed changes threaten to disrupt the hemp industry, potentially leaving countless people without legal THC options. This would particularly affect individuals who rely on these products for medical relief, including veterans and cancer patients, turning them into narcotics traffickers simply for seeking help.
Q: Why is it important to have proper regulation rather than more prohibition?
A: Every body is different; therefore, the cannabinoids each human prefers will vary. Proper regulation ensures safe access to products rather than limited access. More prohibition would only harm those who need these products for health reasons.
Q: How can I help protect the hemp industry and cannabis reform?
A: You can take the following actions to help:
1.Contact your legislator and tell them to leave hemp alone. Find your legislator here: Find Your Legislator.
2.Become a member of Indiana NORML at IndianaNORML.org.
3.Support local businesses like Rustic Remedy in Indianapolis, IN: Hometown Apothecary.
Q: Is there a pre-written letter I can use to contact my legislator?
A: Yes! Here is a pre-written letter you can use to make it easier:
Dear [Legislator’s Name],
I am writing to express my strong support for the hemp industry and to urge you to oppose any changes that would negatively impact this vital sector. Since 2018, the hemp industry has employed 38,000 individuals and become a multi-billion dollar industry, providing essential relief to many people, including veterans and cancer patients.
Proposed changes threaten to disrupt access to legal THC options, turning everyday users into potential narcotics traffickers for seeking medical relief. This is unacceptable and harmful to our community.
Please take action to protect the hemp industry and ensure that it remains a viable and legal option for those who rely on it for their health and well-being.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
