This afternoon, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, and several California hemp farmers and businesses, petitioned California courts for a temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing the enforcement of Governor Gavin Newsom’s hemp-killing “emergency” regulations. Please review the Roundtable’s complaint and TRO application. The hearing for the TRO has been scheduled for 9:30 AM PDT/12:30 AM EDT, Thursday, October 10th. Nolan Jackson, the Roundtable’s regulatory counsel, will be arguing the motion on behalf of the plaintiffs.
Jonathan Miller, the Roundtable’s General Counsel stated: “We are hopeful that the Court will temporarily block – and then ultimately, permanently enjoin – Governor Newsom’s misguided efforts to devastate hemp farmers, business and product consumers in California. It’s high time that the Governor abandon this punitive effort and sit down with all stakeholders to appropriately address his stated mission: to develop a robust regulatory regime that promotes health and safety and keeps hemp products out of the hands of minors.”
We need your help. This is going to be a long and costly battle. Please consider a contribution of any size to the California Hemp Litigation Fund at the link below. Together we can block this existential threat to hemp farmers, businesses and consumers.
