Breaking down barriers to access life-changing benefits of CBD

We are a non-profit organization that educates the public and lawmakers regarding the health benefits of Cannabidiol – better known as CBD.

CBD, which is derived from the hemp plant, does not cause a "high" and is not toxic or addictive.

WHO WE ARE

Caregivers, physicians, veterans, athletes, businesses, and the voices of many others who make up the 45 million Americans who use CBD and deserve access to trusted CBD products.

WHAT WE’RE
WORKING
TOWARD

Passage of federal legislation granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate CBD products as dietary supplements will ensure that tens of millions of parents, athletes, seniors, veterans, and others who rely on CBD will continue to have access and the confidence that what they are using is to the standard of quality that they deserve.

THE PROBLEM

In 2018, Congress removed hemp—and its byproducts—from the statutory definition of marijuana, making CBD available in all 50 states. However, the FDA does not currently regulate CBD.
The 45 million Americans who use CBD need assurance of the safety and quality of their products.
A last-minute amendment to a federal funding bill will ban all hemp-derived products beginning in November 2026. The provision overrides some state regulations and would take away access to non-intoxicating CBD products used by Americans for conditions such as epilepsy, PTSD, and other medical needs.

What People Are Saying

“CBD helps with homeostasis, so when things are sort of out of whack within the body, it helps to bring it all together.”

CRAIG HENDERSON

U.S. Army Veteran, Operation Iraqi Freedom

“I call on the FDA to move forward with a science-based framework for regulating CBD.
It would help bring clarity to an unsettled area of health policy. It would also be doing its job."

REPRESENTATIVE MORGAN GRIFFITH (R-VA)

Chairman of the Energy & Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health

“CBD is the only thing that helps my daughter's seizures, and without access to it, we would
have no viable treatment options. ”
