The h**p ban is now less than six weeks away. All full-spectrum C*D products will become illegal Schedule 1 drugs, even though they are not intoxicating.

Changes to the federal definition of h**p products containing THC and other cannabinoids would take many gummies, tinctures and pills off the market.

I’m branching out… by returning to my roots.

I graduated from herb school in 1992, and have been making tinctures ever since. I started making C*D products about 10 years ago, so C*D has been a relatively recent addition to my herbal repertoire. I haven’t made tinctures to sell since the 1990s, but I have always made and used them frequently for myself and my family.

With the h**p ban looming on the horizon (63 days away now), I figured it was time to diversify!

I’m currently offering tinctures of California poppy, echinacea, ginger, lemon balm, skullcap, and St. John’s wort. Coming soon: passionflower, nettles, wood betony, and New England aster.

All tinctures are made with fresh (undried) herbs which are wildcrafted or organically grown, along with certified organic grain alcohol.

Tinctures are now LIVE on my website! They are also available at Littleton Food Cooperative in Littleton, NH and at Caledonia Food Co-op in St. Johnsbury, VT.

Headlines often frame this as a THC ban or a ban on intoxicating h**p products.

Many don’t realize the ban also criminalizes most non-intoxicating C*D products as well.

America’s multibillion-dollar market for impairing h**p products faces potential elimination after Congress voted to close a loophole in federal law that has allowed it to flourish.

A little bit of good news! The federal h**p ban has been delayed by one month. It is now set to take effect December 11th.

A month is not much of a reprieve, but it gives Congress a little more time to pass a more impactful bill.

Several h**p bills have been introduced which would delay the ban
or create reasonable h**p regulations. I encourage everyone to use the link below to contact your representatives and ask them to protect access to full spectrum C*D products.

If none of the bills are passed into law, I will no longer be able to sell products outside of Vermont after December 11th. Please contact your legislators!

Congress has approved a one-month h**p extension, moving the federal h**p ban deadline from November 12 to December 11 and giving the industry more time to act.

I made the news! I was interviewed by VT Digger about the h**p ban scheduled to take effect in November.

“The clock is running out,” said one C*D vendor. “It's so hard to plan and make any kind of business decisions with all this uncertainty.”

Something brand new is coming…. Can you guess what it is?

Hey Vermonters - I have some awesome news for you! 😀

The Vermont legislature haas passed h**p legislation which will enable full spectrum C*D products to continue being sold outside of dispensaries!

This means I am not going out of business! I can still make my products and sell them at Vermont stores, farmers markets, and craft fairs.

I will be able to ship full spectrum C*D products to addresses in Vermont, but unfortunately not to other states.

My income will plummet - less than 40% of my sales are within Vermont - but at least I don't have to close shop completely. I will likely pick up more hours working as an RN in my hospital operating room to make up for my loss of income.

For those of you in other states, please SPEAK UP! There's a chance that the federal h**p ban will be reversed.

Several bills have been introduced, and the most recent is the Lawful H**p Protection Act. Please contact your legislators and tell them to stop the ban on full spectrum C*D products. Here's an easy way to reach them:

Reps. Andy Barr (R-KY) and Angie Craig (D-MN) have introduced the bipartisan Lawful H**p Protection Act, landmark federal legislation that would establish a ...

The Caledonia Food Co-op finally opened this week, and I am so thrilled to have Primal Botanical C*D products on the shelves! 🥳

I dropped off C*D body butters on opening day, and have been busy all day making C*D bath salts and body oils. I will be delivering those in a few hours!
