🚨 WSWA is urging Congress to amend language in the FY25 Agriculture Appropriations bill that could eliminate all intoxicating h**p products—including those regulated responsibly by states.

Prohibition is NOT the answer! Smart policy that protects consumers and respects state’s rights is good policy.

That’s why WSWA strongly supports the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — because this critical legislation would make key tax reforms permanent, including the Section 199A deduction and estate tax updates.

We’re calling on Congress: Pass the OBBBA and support Main Street! 🙌
