Our Unified Message
At CBHD, we are guided by a set of core values that prioritize preserving freedom while ensuring consumer safety.
Smart Regulation, Not Over Regulation!
Evidence-based policy that prioritizes consumer protection while ensuring adults have the freedom to make informed and responsible choices. By relying on research and data, such policies strike a balance between safeguarding public interests and respecting individual autonomy.
CBHD In Numbers
CBHD 's Regulatory Framework
Child Resistant Packaging
Mandatory child resistant packaging for all hemp products. Clear labeling and warnings to prevent accidental consumption by minors. These are proven safety standards that protect children while allowing adult access.
Age Restrictions
A minimum age requirement of 21, coupled with significant fines and penalties for retailers who sell to minors. Strong enforcement measures to hold violators accountable, similar to alcohol regulations, with strict age restrictions and tangible consequences for violations.
Free Market Principles
To drive innovation and uphold America-first values, we must support open competition free from caps, monopolies, and barriers. Letting market forces set prices, products, and choices creates a competitive marketplace that benefits consumers with more innovation and fairer prices.
Lab Testing Requirements
Mandatory testing ensures products are free from pesticides, heavy metals, and other impurities. Transparent labeling gives consumers full knowledge of what they're buying, while third-party verification builds trust and confidence in the product's safety.
Organic and Safe Standards
Promote organic farming and safe production methods by supporting farmers who embrace sustainable, pesticide-free practices. Champion environmental responsibility while prioritizing consumer health and well-being.
Responsible Retail Practices
To prevent impulse buys by minors while allowing adult access, products can be kept behind the counter. Customers must request the item and show ID for age verification, similar to rules for tobacco and other controlled products.
Key Policy Positions
Responsible Adult Consumption
Adults should be able to choose products that meet their specific needs. Dosage requirements and tolerance levels vary from person to person, so education is more effective than imposing one-size-fits-all restrictions.
All Product Categories
Empower consumers to select their preferred format for health products by supporting the creation of edibles, beverages, flours, pre-rolls, topicals, creams, oils, and concentrates. This approach ensures greater freedom of choice, catering to diverse needs and preferences.
Potential Buffer Zones
By establishing reasonable distance requirements, we can ensure retail locations are kept a safe distance from schools. This creates clear boundaries, allowing businesses to operate in designated areas and protecting children without overly restricting commercial activity.
