HB 1125 CALL TO ACTION!!

This bill continues to be amended, and not for the good of South Dakotans who rely on getting legal, h**p derived cannabinoids from local stores. During the Senate Health and Human Services committee HB 1125 was amended again back to it's original form with small changes that the people backing the bill argue will protect non-psychoactive products like CBG and CBC, but this language is too vague and the bill leaves the door open to more bans in the future. HB 1125 in it's current state, amended to remove the amendment that unanimously passed the house and we fully endorsed, will effectively kill the CBD industry in South Dakota as we know it. It will effectively ban the sale of naturally occurring, h**p derived cannabinoids such as CBN, CBC and Delta-8, though it says nothing about possession. Therefore brick and mortars will be criminalized for providing products that will otherwise be available online.

Please take the time today to contact your state senators and tell them how this bill would affect you, or your loved ones who rely on these products. Find out who your senators are and how to contact them at https://sdlegislature.gov/Legislators/Find.

[Recipient's Name] South Dakota State Senate [Recipient's Address] [City, State, Zip Code]

Dear [Recipient's Name],

I am writing to express my vehement opposition to House Bill 1125, which institutes a ban on chemically modified or converted industrial h**p products in South Dakota. This legislation represents a grave misstep that will have far-reaching consequences for both consumers and businesses across our state.

While I appreciate the intent to ensure public safety and regulate the industrial h**p industry, I believe that HB1125 takes an overly draconian approach that fails to consider the nuanced realities of this burgeoning sector. By outlawing chemically derived cannabinoids and products resulting from the modification or conversion of h**p extract, this bill effectively shuts down opportunities for innovation and growth within an industry that holds immense promise for South Dakota.

It is crucial to acknowledge that many chemically derived cannabinoids exhibit significant therapeutic potential and have been shown to provide relief for individuals suffering from various medical conditions. By criminalizing these substances wholesale, HB1125 not only deprives consumers of potential health benefits but also obstructs scientific research and development in this field.

Furthermore, the ban on industrial h**p products containing chemically derived cannabinoids unfairly penalizes legitimate businesses and entrepreneurs who are operating in compliance with existing regulations. Rather than fostering a supportive environment for economic prosperity and innovation, HB1125 erects unnecessary barriers that stifle progress and hinder job creation in our state.

I urge you to reconsider the implications of HB1125 and explore alternative approaches that balance the need for regulation with the imperative to promote economic growth and public health. By engaging stakeholders from the industrial h**p industry, healthcare professionals, and consumer advocacy groups, we can develop policies that uphold safety standards while facilitating responsible access to h**p-derived products.

In conclusion, I would like to call upon the South Dakota State Senate to reject HB1125 and to pursue more equitable and evidence-based solutions that support the flourishing of the industrial h**p industry in our state. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter, and I trust that you will act in the best interests of all South Dakotans.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

HAPPY FEBRUARY! 🩵

Good news! ✨🤘🏼💚
An amended version of HB 1125 was presented and UNANIMOUSLY passed the House today! As you know, we opposed the original version of the bill. So, what's different now? Let us explain!

Originally, HB 1125 would have eliminated all legal h**p products in South Dakota. This amended version goes solely for cannabinoids produced synthetically through means of acetylation, such as Delta 8 THC-O. We are in full agreement with our State House on keeping h**p natural and safe. Those who shop with us are aware that we moved away from acetylated cannabinoids in 2023 following guidance from the DEA. We're more than ready to close this loophole, and this part is where YOU come in.

We are asking our customers, their loved ones, and any South Dakota h**p consumers reading this to please reach out to your district representatives again. Let them know that you support HB 1125 as amended. This bill will be heard again in the Senate, so we aren't through this just yet! However, today was a major win in our books.

To our patrons, the amazing folks who continue writing letters/emails, and the local business who are calling for action alongside us: we can't thank you enough.
Let's get this bill passed as amended! 🫶🏼

Black Hills CBD spoke as the sole opponent of HB 1125 in Pierre this morning. Getting 11 yeas on a bill that no one in the room came close to understanding was incredibly disheartening. Luckily, sharing our love and knowledge for CBD, and the other amazing cannabinoids in the h**p plant, is kind of our thing. We will be at the next hearing. This hasn't been scheduled yet, but we will continue to update you all.

What we need now, to protect access to legal h**p in South Dakota, is exactly what we've been asking of our customers over the last couple weeks: CONTINUE CONTACTING YOUR DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES! We have seen posts directing consumers to contact the Prime Sponsors of the bill. While you have a right to contact any elected official, they have a right to ignore your argument if you do not reside in their district.

Happy Fruit = Happy Monday 🧡😌

It's going to be B-E-A-utiful in The Black Hills this week. Elevate your outdoor adventures with Happy Fruit! (PRO TIP: We personally love a Lifted Limeade gummy for a hills outing, and a Midnight REMberry gummy for the well-deserved rest after.)

We'll chill tomorrow. Today, we might need a stronger dose. Which teams are you rooting for today?!

UPDATE: HB 1125, as it is written, would also ban non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, and CBN.

This is no longer an argument between psychoactive, and non-psychoactive cannabinoids, (AKA intoxicants and non-inxtoxicants) and therefore, becomes a fuzzy and extremely misguided argument for concern from our State House + Senate.

Even if you hold an MMJ card, take notice in how our state is attempting to roll back long-standing h**p laws. Realize that it could be you on the receiving end, that it HAS been ALL SD H**P VOTERS in very recent history!

We have an update on HB 1125!

This bill will have its first hearing next week during the Tuesday morning session of House Health & Human Services. If you plan to write a letter to your district representative, now is the time!

HB 1125 would ban Delta 8, Delta 10, HHC, THC-P, CBD, CBN, CBG, and more from our shelves, and the shelves of every small h**p business in South Dakota.

Announcement from Black Hills Vapors:

We will say it plainly:
The passing of SB 1125 will close the free market of vapable ni****ne in South Dakota, and they know it. Curious which companies have been approved for PMTAs? Look no further than the to***co counter at your nearest convenience store. We might not have the same deep pockets and wide-reaching networks as big to***co, but we aren't blind to the impact va**ng has had on us, and every customer that continues to walk through our doors, year after year.

Help us speak up for legal va**ng in South Dakota.

★ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ★
BH CBD patrons, and h**p consumers of South Dakota,

A new bill to ban Delta 8, HHC, THCP, and other naturally occurring cannabinoids is being drafted to be introduced. This bill aims to eliminate the sale of legal h**p products by small businesses in South Dakota. Luckily, the dispensary owners advocating for these bills have had little luck so far; however, the fight is not over.

Write to the legislators in your district and speak out against the attempt to restrict access to legal h**p-derived cannabinoids. There is no need to allow them to control another market that is already regulated for 21+.

South Dakotans passed the h**p laws with the intent that isomers and salts are perfectly legal as long as they have below 0.3% THC. By rewriting this law, these cannabinoids that many have come to use daily will no longer be available, forcing the users to get a medical card, which is the ultimate goal for them to make more money, and cornering another market.

This will stifle the consumer's ability to choose which product best suits their needs and limit their ability to support their favorite local stores.

Small businesses have enough to worry about as is. South Dakotans deserve the right to have access to legal h**p isomers, as the current law states. There is no reason to change that other than greed and control.

Help small businesses fight back by speaking out against the ban on legal h**p products now!
