Vote Hemp

Vote Hemp is a non-profit advocacy organization founded in 2000, dedicated to the legalization and promotion of industrial hemp in the United States. The organization focuses on legislative reform, public education, and market development to support the growth of the hemp industry. Vote Hemp played a pivotal role in the passage of the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills, which legalized hemp production at the federal level. Their work encompasses lobbying for favorable regulations and providing resources for farmers and businesses within the hemp sector. While not a biotechnology company, their efforts have significantly impacted the availability of hemp-derived products, including those used in the health and wellness industries. The organization continues to work on removing remaining barriers to hemp farming and processing at both the state and federal levels.
