About the Event
Join us on Monday, August 10, at 10:00 a.m. on the Capitol Steps of the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond as Virginia's hemp community comes together for an important press conference on the federal lawsuit challenging the Commonwealth's new hemp restrictions.
We warmly invite our customers, fellow small business owners, advocates, patients, families, and everyone who believes in supporting Virginia businesses to stand with us. This is an opportunity to hear directly from attorneys, industry leaders, business owners, and Virginians whose lives have been impacted by these changes.
Speakers will discuss the legal challenge to Virginia's new hemp restrictions, what the case means for the future of small businesses across the Commonwealth, and how these regulations could affect consumers, patients, and families if they take effect on August 15.
