Route 69 Vapor

So that our team can enjoy time with family and friends, we'll have shorter hours on Labor Day.
We hope everyone enjoys the last holiday of the summer!

It's our birthday today!

Deals all day on liquids and disposables!

Thanks for all the support! Here's to the next decade!

Good morning.

Due to an unforseen circumstance, our Altoona location will be opening late today.

We anticipate being open at 11am.

Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks for your patience.

Good Morning,

Just an update on the status of consumable h**p products we all depend on.

While we are frustrated by the situation we appreciate the careful consideration of the judge.

Please consider making a donation to help defend our rights to make our own decisions.

Good Morning,

We wanted to provide an update on the status of Beyond CBD and Dispensary.

If you have been following the lawsuit in the news, you probably know that Judge Rose did not rule from the bench last week granting us the preliminary injunction we have been seeking. Rather she asked for additional information from all sides of the case. We hope to have a decision by the end of next week.

For that reason, and since the state has not said they would not enforce the new law, despite not having completed and approved rules for enforcement, we have made the tough decision to remain closed but will open on request to sell products we believe to still be legal. Please visit Route 69 V***r next door to ask for help.

We are on the right side of the law in our decision to join the Iowa H**p Alliance and challenge the state in court. Please consider showing your support for the right to choose the products you depend on as an adult. You can make a donation in any amount to be used to cover legal fees.

We are grateful for all the support we've received over the past two years. We'll continue to stand up for the rights of Iowans to make decisions for themselves.

HELP SAVE ACCESS TO CONSUMABLE H**P PRODUCTS IN IOWA!

As of July 1, 2024 most of the consumable h**p products on the shelves in Iowa were deemed illegal. Making Iowans who use and depend on these products criminals.

Beyond CBD, Route 69 V***r and the Iowa H**p Alliance are engaged in a lawsuit with the state, contending that the new regulations are unconstitutional.

We could really use your help to support this effort. The cost of this undertaking has been heavy.

Please consider donating any amount to help save access to consumable h**p products in Iowa.

Thank you!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 2, 2024



Iowa H**p Businesses Seek Injunctive Relief

From ‘H**p Amendments’

The recent Iowa legislation that criminalizes the manufacture and sale of h**p

products should be halted on constitutional grounds.



(DES MOINES)—A group of nine h**p businesses, HW Premium CBD, AJ’s Health and Wellness d/b/a American Shaman, E. Krieger Land, LLC d/b/a Green Goods Market & Greenhouses, Green Onyx Inc. d/b/a Your CBD Store, Beyond CBD LLC d/b/a Beyond CBD, Campbell’s Nutrition Centers, Inc., TCI Enterprise, Inc. d/b/a Sky High, Icanna, LLC, and Your CBD Stores Franchising LLC (collectively “Plaintiffs”), filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa last week seeking to enjoin the state of Iowa from enforcing recently passed laws, the so-called “H**p Amendments,” that recriminalize the manufacture and sale of h**p products in the state—contrary to federal law. The Court will hold a preliminary injunction hearing on July 11, 2024, to determine whether the state can enforce the H**p Amendments.



The H**p Amendments were signed into law by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds on May 17, 2024, and largely take effect today, July 1, 2024, a mere six weeks after they were signed and well before the State has finalized regulations to guide their implementation and enforcement by the state agencies tasked with doing so. The result: Iowa h**p businesses, including the Plaintiffs, are stuck in regulatory limbo and will face irreparable, unconstitutional harm.



In 2018, the U.S. Congress passed the Agriculture Farm Improvement Act, commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized the cultivation and possession of h**p and h**p-derived products and expanded the definition of h**p. Since that time, Iowa’s many h**p businesses, including those of the Plaintiffs, have invested in the nascent industry, have developed significant operations, and have engaged in lawful commerce permitted by the 2018 Farm Bill in accordance with federal and state law. Specifically, the Plaintiffs cultivate, manufacture, distribute, and sell h**p products in and out of Iowa and have operated for several years now in a legal market through a supply chain of farmers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers throughout Iowa and the country.



The H**p Amendments recriminalize h**p products that were federally legal and legal under Iowa law since at least 2020, rendering them illegal, controlled substances as of today, July 1, 2024. At the time the lawsuit was filed, the Plaintiffs estimated the H**p Amendments could irreparably impact 75 percent or more of their inventory. Worse still, the H**p Amendments provide no grace periods for transporting, storing, or otherwise handling such products.



The lawsuit highlights the H**p Amendments’ incompatibility with the U.S. Constitution, including violations of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and Commerce Clause, Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, and the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment’s Takings Clause. “We believe Iowa’s H**p Amendments are unconstitutional,” said Rick Wagaman, the Chief Operating Officer and Owner of HW Premium CBD . “The Farm Bill defines clearly what h**p is, and it has an express preemption clause that forbids exactly the kind of thing the state of Iowa is attempting to do here.”



“If the goal was to target the availability of certain h**p products to a person under 21 years of age, there were several ways the state of Iowa could have pursued that end,” he added. “Instead, we got the H**p Amendments, which deprive Iowa businesses of the beneficial use of their property while having catastrophic financial consequences for the Plaintiffs.”



“The Iowa H**p industry is in a fight for its life, and that fight comes to a head on July 11th , at the preliminary injunction hearing” said Ashley Powell, the owner of American Shaman.



Powell concluded: “The bottom line is the H**p Amendments are excessive and vague. They trample upon the constitutional rights of lawful, legitimate businesses. We intend to vigorously assert our rights and look forward to our day in court.”

We are cross-posting from our sister store since we know many customers also shop with us at Beyond CBD and Dispensary.

These changes will also impact the consumable h**p products available at all Route 69 V***r locations.

Effective today.

We sincerely apologize for any hardship this action may cause. Rest assured we are continuing to fight for our day in court and for the rights of all Iowans to choose.

The Iowa Legislature passed HF2605 making many of the consumable h**p products sold outside the Iowa medical program illegal as of July 1.

While we are diligently looking for products and ways to continue to offer CBD and consumable h**p after July 1, some items must be off the shelves.

Iowa passed HF2605 which makes drastic to the changes Consumable H**p Program.

Now the feds are looking to kill Consumable H**p all together.

We are being heard. We've still got life in this veto campaign!
Keep calling and letting the governor know we need her to veto HF2677!

This morning, chatting with a small shop owner in Eldora reminds me that while we may get tired of the constant struggle to be heard, it is making an impact.

Rather than just taking the message, the person answering the governor's number remembered Ryan and had a brief conversation with him about our campaign for the veto of HF2677. Here's a small part of what Ryan shared.

"I just got the gal on the phone to open up a little. She’s taking 1,000 calls a day, she referenced it being a last-minute bill and she said “It’s not over yet” “I’ve sat in the chair 12 years, rest assured, I make sure your voices are heard “

Governor Kim Reynolds is back to work today. We need everyone to keep up the calls and emails. Encourage her to veto HF2677.
Iowans deserve to have the freedom of choice.

The governor is back to work today. We need to call her office and let her know, there's a lot of her constituents who are depending on her to veto HF2677.

Industry leaders and consumers are ready to come to the table in full support of common sense regulation, but we don't support taking our freedom of choice.

Phone: 515-281-5211

We have many people who we've met and become friends with over the years who no longer live in the area. We need your help to reach as many shops as we can! This campaign is going to take a massive effort from everyone!

Keep calling, emailing, and doing the calls to action. Ask Governor Kim Reynolds to veto HF2677.

Please share this post and ask everyone you know who's a fan of freedom of choice to do the same!

Bill tightening regulations on v**e products awaiting governor's signature Hartman said the bill would make over 99% of the business' products illegal.

So this happened a little bit ago through private chat to the business page.

We are fully aware of how much we've been posting and tagging. Social media is a platform that allows us to reach many people in a short time. And if you look at our posting history, before two weeks ago, you'll see we don't do much tagging, or posting for that matter.

The point, we have some serious things happening that have an affect on thousands of people in Iowa. So much time, money, and effort has gone into fighting this, by customers, retailers, manufacturers, and industry advocates.

We're not going to stop trying to spread the message and ask for help in this fight. If you are upset by the posts and tagging, we understand. The best solution we can offer is to unfollow the page. We have important work to do and we need people that are willing to participate, not find silly reasons to be negative.

We love and appreciate you all and the continued support.

Well, we lost the battle late last night, showing Iowans that our elected officials don't give a damn about adults freedom of choice! Rather, their paychecks ran out, it was late, and they wanted to get the hell outta dodge!

The war is not over though! Please complete the call to action in the comments, asking the governor to veto this bad legislation. It only take a moment. Take a few extra minutes and add some of your personal story to the email.

This community of v**ers is large and strong! She needs to know we don't want this and we will not just rollover and take it!

It's been a long day at the capital. Meetings, debate, and impromptu discussions in hallways. We feel like we are making headway.

We still need calls and emails. They want to hear from you!

Please continue to call, we need your help!
