Primal Botanical - Vermont Craft CBD

My testimony at the State House made the news! The article seems to be written by AI, but if so, it’s surprisingly accurate.

Small Vermont CBD manufacturers told a legislative committee that a newly proposed federal container‑based THC limit — and language in S.3.23 tying 'h**p' to interstate legality — would effectively ban full‑spectrum CBD products, raise costs and force local producers to close unless the stat...

Is there a way to sell CBD products in Vermont (outside dispensaries), even if the federal ban kicks in this November as planned? I’m not sure, but I’m pushing for it!

Unfortunately, VT S.323, as passed by the Senate Agriculture Committee, would ban any products not legal for interstate sales. That includes all full spectrum CBD products.

I testified in from of the House Agriculture Committee this week. They were very supportive and sympathetic. A staffer from the Cannabis Control Board called me and was also very supportive; he said the language in the bill would be amended. No one wants non-intoxicating CBD products to be banned.

But… even if I can sell within Vermont, issues with banking, payment processing, and shipping may make doing business next to impossible.

I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do with my business if the federal h**p ban takes effect. Everything I sell will be illegal. I’m getting less and less optimistic that the ban will be fixed before November. 😥

Thanks to the CCB, and for their advocacy!

Yesterday I testified in front of the Vermont House Agriculture Committee about a bill to regulate h**p (S.323).

Unfortunately, if the federal h**p ban kicks in as planned in November, S.323, as passed by the Senate, will criminalize most CBD products in Vermont.

I’m hoping Vermont can create regulations that would allow me to sell my CBD products at least within the state, even if interstate sales are banned.🤞

Edit: my testimony is online!

I was on the radio again! This time I focused on the legal situation for CBD (spoiler: unless Congress changes something, all full-spectrum CBD products will be illegal in November).

ICE OUT shutdown is today! I’m keeping my business open and will donate 25% of all sales to the ACLU of Minnesota. Support local, shop small, and don’t give your money to billionaires.

I’m sure many of you are as horrified as I am about the atrocities occurring in Minnesota. My heart aches for those who have lost loved ones or had their families ripped apart.

One of my retailers is in Minnesota: Jewelweed is a gorgeous store in Excelsior focusing on health and wellness. They sell a lot of my CBD bath salts.

Jewelweed recently closed their store for a day to take part in the general strike which took place in response to the surge of federal immigration operations in Minnesota and the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent.

Jewelweed inspired me to show my support for Minnesotans. I will be donating 50% of all proceeds from the sale of my CBD bath salts through the end of February to the ACLU of Minnesota.

Thank you to for the VT resistance bird! ✊

(I emailed my list this morning about this, and several customers unsubscribed right away. I guess speaking up is bad for business. Oh well - I’m going to keep speaking up anyway.)

Will CBD products be illegal later this year? If nothing changes, yes.

In November, Trump signed legislation which would make almost all CBD and h**p products (including most non-intoxicating products) federally illegal beginning in November 2026.

There are two bills which would delay the ban by an additional two years to allow time to draft reasonable regulations. Please contact your legislators and tell them why CBD/h**p is important to you, and ask them to support HR.7010 and S.3686 and delay the h**p ban.

Help Us Stop the H**p Ban! Thanks to a backroom deal cut as part of the effort to reopen the government in November, 95% of h**p extract products – th ...
