NEW EPISODE: USHEMPTV

H.R. 841 Congressional Briefing with Lead Bill Sponsor Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR)


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

The best way you can help support this important legislation is to contact your U.S. Congressional leaders and urge them to cosponsor H.R. 841! Learn more and use our online action portal today to take action:

HIA v DEA - Hemp Industry


In September 2020, the HIA and industry members filed a lawsuit against DEA, challenging a rule that could have far-reaching consequences. This petition asked the federal appeals court to review an interim final rule the DEA issued in August 2020, arguing the agency exceeded its authority and violated the 2018 farm bill.

When Congress passed the 2018 farm bill, it explicitly carved hemp and its derivatives out of the Controlled Substances Act so that hemp can be regulated as an agricultural commodity. The DEA’s interim final rule could create substantial barriers to the legal manufacturing of hemp-derived products, a critical component of the hemp supply chain, and devastate the entire hemp industry. Although the DEA states that is not its intention, the rule must be amended to ensure hemp remains an agricultural crop, as Congress intended.

The petitioners are represented by leading hemp industry attorneys at Vicente Sederberg LLP, Kight Law Office PC, and Hoban Law Group, along with appellate attorneys from Yetter Coleman LLP, which has received national attention for its work against the DEA in the realm of cannabis research.

For over 25 years, the Hemp Industries Association has been fighting for justice for hemp. This case is the fourth occasion in its history, the HIA has taken the Drug Enforcement Administration to federal court in landmark cases that helped to secure the future of the hemp industry in the United States.

We hope you’ll join us for this livestream event on
May 13th at 11am PT.
