Calls Griffith CBD bill ‘an important step’ toward FDA regulation of CBD as a dietary supplement
WASHINGTON – The Coalition for Access Now (CAN), the leading advocate for safe and consistent cannabidiol (CBD) products for mothers, caregivers, veterans, athletes, and others who rely on CBD, today issued the following statement from Executive Director Paige Figi in response to the introduction of the Hemp Enforcement, Modernization, and Protection Act (HEMP) by House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health Chairman Morgan Griffith (R-VA):
“The millions of mothers, caregivers, and families who have been part of our movement since the beginning have always sought reliable and safe access to CBD. President Trump’s historic executive order promoting the regulation of non-intoxicating and non-psychoactive CBD, combined with the leadership of Chairman Morgan Griffith in his introduction of the ‘HEMP Act’ – an important step toward long-sought FDA regulation of CBD as a dietary supplement – sends a clear signal to Congress: it must act to address the overreach in the December 2025 Agriculture Appropriations bill that bans CBD.
“The time to pass this bill is now. This legislation is critical to ensure consistent, safe access for the millions of Americans who rely on lifesaving CBD every day.”
