Join Us at the Florida Senate on March 17 to Defend Access to Healthy Alternatives
Date: Monday, March 17, 2025
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Florida Senate
Florida Healthy Alternatives invites you to stand with us at the Florida Senate on March 17 to oppose SB 438 + HB 1597, proposed legislation that would criminalize THCA and all cannabinoids, except for THC drinks backed by large foreign corporations.
These bills represent a direct threat to Florida’s hemp industry, small businesses, and consumers who rely on cannabinoids as a health-conscious alternative to pharmaceuticals. By selectively favoring corporate interests, this legislation disregards the needs of individuals who benefit from responsible access to these products.
Why This Matters
- Protect Consumer Choice – This bill seeks to eliminate access to cannabinoids that many Floridians depend on for wellness.
- Defend Small Businesses – By restricting natural alternatives while protecting corporate-backed THC drinks, this legislation threatens local entrepreneurs and the integrity of Florida’s hemp industry.
- Preserve Responsible Regulation – Thoughtful policies should prioritize consumer safety and industry growth, not arbitrary restrictions that undermine access.
How You Can Help
- Attend the Hearing – Your presence at the Florida Senate on March 17 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM is critical. Lawmakers need to hear from the individuals and businesses directly impacted by this legislation.
- Spread Awareness – Share this message with colleagues, business owners, and advocates who support a fair and responsible hemp industry in Florida.
- Engage with Legislators – Contact your representatives and express your opposition to SB 438 + HB 1597. Let them know that Floridians deserve access to natural alternatives without unjust restrictions.
Florida Healthy Alternatives is committed to shaping policies that balance consumer safety, industry growth, and individual freedom. This is a crucial moment to take action.
Join us in Tallahassee on March 17 and ensure that Florida’s future includes fair, responsible, and accessible healthy alternatives.
