Alabama’s HB 445, signed into law on May 14, is a direct threat to the future of hemp—not just in Alabama, but across the country. The bill bans smokable hemp, limits edibles to 10mg total THC, imposes a 10% excise tax, and restricts online sales, all while ignoring federal protections under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Even more alarming: the Alabama Attorney General’s office announced plans to begin prosecutions as early as July 1, 2025—six months before the law’s enforcement date.
🛡️ The Alabama Wellness Collective is taking action. They’re leading a broad coalition—retailers, veterans’ advocates, farmers, patients, and national trade groups—to file a federal lawsuit challenging HB 445’s constitutionality.
We at Highly Concentr8ed are proud to stand behind their mission. We’ve donated to support this legal fight and are helping to spread the word because what’s happening in Alabama could happen anywhere.
This is a dangerous precedent that could gut the entire hemp industry under the false pretense of public safety—while disregarding compliance, testing, and federal legality.
We’re proud to support those standing up for hemp rights, public health, and common sense regulation. Let’s protect this industry—together.
