Collaboration in the Commonwealth

The Hemp Beverage Alliance is proud to work with other trade organizations to further benefit the hemp industry. One such partner is Laura Beohner, director of the Massachusetts Hemp Coalition (as well as president of Healing Rose Company.) Talking Joints Memo recently spoke with her about her efforts to create a sensible regulatory framework for hemp:

Beohner is working with the Hemp Beverage Alliance, a national trade association, “to help them push forward for the greater sake of hemp.” She said a bill relative to hemp and hemp products in Mass that’s currently before the Joint Committee on Agriculture could forge a positive path forward:

“I try to represent everyone’s best interest in the hemp space. We have been trying to get a bill passed [for four years] to allow hemp cannabinoids in food and beverage. I know [the Hemp Beverage Alliance] is interested in carving out a beverage space, but I am also interested in carving out a food space for MDAR licenses at least.”

Hats off to Laura for leading the charge in the Commonwealth. Read the whole story here.
