On Tuesday, May 25th, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable had the opportunity to host Congressman Kurt Schrader (D-OR) and esteemed industry expert guests for a Congressional briefing concerning H.R. 841, The Hemp and Hemp-Derived CBD Consumer Protection and Market Stabilization Act of 2021.
Congressman Schrader, who is the lead bill sponsor, and our panel of industry experts discussed why H.R. 841 – which would provide a regulatory pathway for the sale of hemp-derived CBD as a dietary supplement – is so necessary to provide economic relief to the nation’s farmers, as well as to protect consumers from the current unregulated CBD and Delta-8 marketplace.
Scheduled Panelists included:
- The Honorable Kurt Schrader (D-OR), lead sponsor of HR 841
- Ola Lessard, President, U.S. Hemp Roundtable
- Amber Littlejohn, Executive Director, Minority Cannabis Business Association
- Michael McGuffin, President, American Herbal Products Association
- Scott Melville, President, Consumer Healthcare Products Association
- Steven Mister, President, Council for Responsible Nutrition
- Loren Israelson, President, United Natural Products Alliance
- Kyle Truesdale, CEO, Agrarian Manager, and U.S. hemp farmer
- Hosted by Jonathan Miller, General Counsel, U.S. Hemp Roundtable
