Hey there,

I've a small (but important) ask of you today.

On November 12, a federal change will take effect that would ban 95% of hemp products in the United States: including the ones you order from Soul.

Thankfully, good people like Andy Barr (R-KY) and Angie Craig (D-MN) are pushing for the bipartisan Lawful Hemp Protection Act to replace the ban with a science-based regulatory framework, which would include:

- 21+ age verification requirements

- Federal labeling and packaging standards

- Restrictions on dangerous synthetic cannabinoids

- FDA oversight of hemp-derived consumable products

- And more.

Basically: the things our industry has needed for years.

Here’s where you come in:

The bill needs as many co-sponsors as possible in the next few weeks to get the attention of Congress (cosponsors = visible support).

And the U.S. Hemp Roundtable (a nonprofit we're a member of) has built this tool that sends a letter to your local representative in a few clicks:

Send your letter of support

It takes less than a minute, and the letter is pre-written for you.

You just click a few times, and it tells your local representative that you support the Lawful Hemp Protection Act.

If you’re still reading this, thank you. Genuinely.

Industries like ours only exist because customers showed up when it counted.

Let’s do this,

Mike

Co-Founder & CEO, Soul

P.S. If you have one more minute, forward this email to someone who'd care.

Co-sponsorship counts are how Congress measures consensus, so the more we can get, the better.
