Emergency Town Hall-The Hemp Shockwave: What It Means for Patients & Safe Access

Saturday, November 15th | 2:00 PM ET | Online via Zoom

Join Americans for Safe Access (ASA), Realm of Caring, Society of Cannabis Clinicians (SCC), and Veterans Initiative 22 for an Emergency Town Hall on Saturday, where we will unpack what the new federal hemp rules mean for patients, caregivers, and consumers—and discuss how we can act together to protect safe access to cannabinoid medicines.

Join us to learn:

• What’s Happening: A fact-based breakdown of what just happened in Congress.
• What’s Changing: Clear facts, timelines, and what to expect in the months ahead.
• What You Can Do: Actions you can take now—at both the state and federal levels—to prevent disruptions in access and supply.

We’ll answer your questions, discuss real-world impacts, and outline actionable advocacy solutions.

Why It Matters

Many patients who once fought for strong medical cannabis laws stopped engaging when hemp-based, full-spectrum products became available online. These new federal rules will change that landscape—cutting off access to the very products patients have come to rely on.

This Town Hall is an opportunity to get the facts and join a coordinated response to protect patient access nationwide.

Town Hall Agenda

1. What Just Happened: Understanding the new hemp rules and how we got here.
2. What It Means: How these changes will affect patient access—today, tomorrow, and a year from now when these rules go into effect.
3. What We Can Do: Step-by-step guidance to prevent the loss of safe access and to push for real, patient-centered federal reform.
