Vote Hemp has been at the forefront of efforts to defend the hemp industry since its founding in 2000. We have initiated or helped support cases including defense against DEA overreach, access to information and challenges to allow the cultivation of hemp authorized under state or tribal law. We have been able to pursue these cases thanks to the help from financial donors like Dr. Bronner’s and you as well as pro-bono and reduced-fee legal representation by expert hemp lawyers, and the efforts of numerous companies and concerned individuals.
Below are some hemp legal challenges we have supported or been involved with:
- Monson v DEA – North Dakota Hemp License case
