The National Industrial Hemp Council provides high quality networking and resources for its members, from the farm to consumer. Our leadership is composed of leading international, federal, state, private industry, and government professionals throughout the sector. Our goals are to further market development, assist members in entering the industry, and educate the consumer on industrial hemp and its applications.
Educating consumers is of paramount importance for NIHC. Customers are the bedrock of this revolution and they have the right to be safe. This means truth-in-labeling in this rapidly growing industry. There are a lot of confusing and contradicting claims and assertions. Farmers, manufacturers, financial institutions, suppliers, transporters, and consumers have the right to fact-based information.
NIHC is cutting through the noise with its team and partners to provide its members and the public with this important information.

Presented by Sarah Turner, Partner at Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani
Proud Sponsor of the NIHC 2021 Hemp Business Summit
In 2018, the Farm Bill took industrial hemp out of the Controlled Substances Act and gave cannabis some legality at the Federal level for the first time in nearly a century. This followed closely on the heels of adult-use cannabis legalization, and now, just two states prohibit any form of cannabis.
The “Green Wave” taking over the country is why employers – including hemp and cannabis businesses themselves – are confronted with their employees’ use of the very products they sell, in the context of employment laws that have failed to “keep up.”
This includes employees’ off-duty and on-duty use of cannabis, revisiting drug testing laws, and wrestling with the conflicts between federal law where cannabis remains illegal in any form with states where cannabis is legal for adult and/or medicinal use.
This seminar will provide much-needed guidance to hemp businesses in the employment area by:
Ms. Turner’s practice with the Cannabis, Hemp, and CBD practice groups include counseling employers on their respective state regulations and how those laws affect the employer’s workplace drug policies, drafting drug and alcohol policies and testing guidelines, and representing businesses and individuals in cannabis-related employment matters, and contract and partnership disputes. Ms. Turner also presents nationwide to employers and organizations on cannabis and the workplace focusing on what employers can and cannot do, and accommodations under their respective medicinal and recreational use laws.
