HB328 threatens to ban nearly every hemp-derived product in North Carolina—from CBD to THCa. But what does the bill really say, and who would be impacted the most? Here’s what you need to know.

North Carolina’s hemp industry stands at a legislative crossroads. One path protects access, supports veterans, and preserves jobs. The other imposes a blanket ban that threatens everything this industry has built. Here’s what you need to know about the two bills shaping our future.

Thousands of North Carolina’s small businesses — from hemp retailers to veteran-run dispensaries — are at risk of shutting down if HB328 passes. This bill threatens a $2+ billion industry and over 100,000 jobs. Learn why small business owners are urging lawmakers to reject HB328 and support SB265 instead.

HB328 isn’t just bad policy — it’s a full-blown ban on hemp disguised as regulation. If passed, it would wipe out 100,000+ jobs, ban federally legal wellness products like CBD gummies, and hand control of North Carolina’s hemp industry to the Governor and out-of-state marijuana giants. Learn why small businesses, patients, and advocates are rallying behind SB265 — and how you can help stop HB328 before it’s too late.
