Advocacy

We seek your assistance in raising awareness about Senate Bill 1698 to Governor Ron DeSantis, urging him to veto it. This bill, if passed, would significantly weaken Florida's Hemps thriving industry and limit access to safe, effective hemp products for consumers.
Hemp has been proven to have numerous health benefits and is a rapidly growing industry in the United States. The plant contains high levels of CBD, a non-psychoactive compound that has been shown to help with pain relief, anxiety, and many other conditions. In addition, hemp is also used for its fibers in textiles, paper, food products, and more.
However, Senate Bill 1698 would impose strict regulations on the production and sale of hemp in Florida. This includes limiting the number of licenses for growers and processors, as well as imposing hefty fees on those who wish to obtain one. These restrictions would greatly hinder the growth of the industry in Florida and limit consumer access to high-quality hemp products.
In conclusion, SB 1698 is misguided in its approach towards legalizing recreational marijuana. Instead of creating a fair and open market, it gives too much power to large corporations at the expense of small businesses and communities.

Dear Governor Ron DeSantis,

I want to express my gratitude for vetoing SB 1698. This ban would have had a detrimental impact on our state's economy and the well-being of small business owners in our community. Your decision shows true leadership and puts the people of Florida ahead of corporate interests.

By vetoing SB 1698, you have prevented the classification of products like CBD as controlled substances, saving over 10,000 local businesses and the jobs of 64,000 employees who earn in wages in this industry. This courageous action will preserve economic stability for countless families in our state.


By vetoing SB 1698, we prevent federally illegal MMTCs, unregulated out-of-state hemp manufacturers, and the black market from gaining an advantage. Your decision safeguards our economy and the interests of Floridians. Thank you.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Keep Florida Hemp and Healthy Alternatives Industry Open.
