Cannabis Trade Federation

The Cannabis Trade Federation operates as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and advocating for sensible cannabis policy.

Americans across the country are rising up for justice and the end of systemic racism. CTF stands with this movement, because cannabis policy cannot be separated from social justice policy. We are committed to advocating for policies that advance social justice and equity.

More than 1,300 cannabis business owners, executives, and employees signed this letter, prepared by CTF and @NCIAorg, to U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman @MikeCrapo (R-ID), calling on him to pass the SAFE Banking Act. https://t.co/3c50rYwzsR

[Denny Heck @LtGovDennyHeck]

I look forward to working with Sen. Crapo to enact the SAFE Banking Act. Cannabis is now legal to varying degrees in 47 states. This bill prioritizes public safety by allowing banks to work with legitimate marijuana businesses and get cash off the streets. https://t.co/wo6hqjjsLi

@NCIAorg released an extensive report today re: vaping illness and related policy: "The Key to Consumer Safety: Displacing the Illicit Cannabis Market - Recommendations for Safe Vaping." Very timely and well worth the read for industry members & consumers. https://t.co/nCjjuhQiv3

[Cannabis Trade Federation @CanTradeFed]

The chorus of voices urging Sen. Banking Chair @MikeCrapo to reconsider his proposed changes to the #SAFEBankingAct is growing. The latest: a bipartisan letter from the bill's lead House sponsors @RepPerlmutter @RepDennyHeck @RepSteveStivers @WarrenDavidson

[Cannabis Trade Federation @CanTradeFed]

CTF joined with @NCIAorg and more than two dozen other cannabis industry groups to send a letter to Sen. Banking Chair @MikeCrapo, urging him to move the House-approved version of the SAFE Banking Act through his committee.

[Cannabis Wire @CannabisWire]

Today, a group of more than 30 cannabis industry orgs sent a letter to Senate Banking Committee Chair @MikeCrapo, urging his support of the SAFE Banking Act.

The Act would remove many banking hurdles faced by cannabis business owners.

This should be quite a hearing, and it's another sign Congress is moving in the right direction on cannabis policy.

Federal Marijuana Reform Will Get Another Congressional Hearing Next Week: "It’s important to bring federal agency officials together to discuss current and future federal cannabis policies." https://t.co/0KGOt8dV9J

[Cannabis Trade Federation @CanTradeFed]

Kudos to @SenCoryGardner and @SenWarren for standing up for veterans who work in the legal cannabis industry.

[Cory Gardner @SenCoryGardner]

Conflicting state and federal marijuana laws create policy failures in states with legal cannabis. It’s disgraceful that veterans can be denied benefits they earned because they work in a legitimate cannabis business, and @SenWarren and I want to fix this.

The @washingtonpost featured CTF founding board member @LivWellCannabis in a story this weekend about how federal laws are preventing highly qualified U.S. companies from competing in the emerging global cannabis market https://t.co/xfn4tKIrhr

New study shows regulated cannabis businesses in Colorado and Washington are effectively complying with rules that prohibit sales to minors. In prohibition states, there are no rules governing cannabis sales, and sellers do not ask for ID. #regulationworks

[Cannabis Trade Federation @CanTradeFed]

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and new year! Also, a huge thank you goes out to everyone who supported our efforts throughout this historic year for cannabis policy at the federal level. With your continued support, we can make 2020 even bigger!

CTF will continue educating members of the Senate Banking Committee so we can get the #SAFEBankingAct passed and finally resolve this critical public safety issue. #cannabis [2/2]

[Cannabis Trade Federation @CanTradeFed]

Looks like there may be some obstacles in the path of passing the #SAFEBankingAct. We have significant concerns about some of the provisions outlined by Sen. Crapo, but we're confident this is a starting point for further conversation. [1/2]
