At Asher House Wellness, our mission has always been bigger than supplements. It’s about advocacy, education, and protecting access to natural wellness solutions for the animals who need them most.

That’s why we recently spoke out in a guest opinion piece published by Cannabis Business Times, addressing a growing concern that could have devastating consequences for pets nationwide: the proposed federal hemp ban.


This ban isn’t theoretical. If enacted, it could remove safe, hemp-derived CBD options from the market—leaving millions of animals without a proven, trusted path to calm, comfort, and quality of life.

Why the Hemp Ban Is a Direct Threat to Animal Wellness


Hemp-derived CBD has become a cornerstone of holistic pet care. For rescued animals, seniors, and pets suffering from anxiety, joint discomfort, inflammation, or trauma, CBD is often one of the few gentle, non-sedating options available.

A broad hemp ban would:

  • Eliminate access to trusted, lab-tested products

  • Push pet parents toward harsher pharmaceutical alternatives

  • Disproportionately impact rescued, aging, and special-needs animals

  • Undermine years of progress in responsible hemp regulation


This isn’t about removing unsafe products — it’s about over-correction that harms the most vulnerable.

How Asher House Wellness Is Leading the Fight


Asher House Wellness is not standing on the sidelines.

We are actively leading the fight against the hemp ban alongside respected, mission-driven brands like Charlotte’s Web, uniting voices across the hemp, wellness, and animal advocacy communities to protect responsible access to hemp-derived CBD.

Together, we are advocating for:

  • Science-backed regulation, not prohibition

  • Clear standards that protect consumers and animals

  • Continued access to hemp-derived wellness solutions for pets


This leadership extends beyond words. We’ve built a centralized hub to mobilize our community and turn concern into action.




Why CBD Access Matters for Pets and Pet Parents

For millions of families, CBD isn’t a trend. It’s part of a daily wellness routine that helps pets:

  • Stay calm during stress and anxiety

  • Move more comfortably as they age

  • Recover from trauma or physical strain

  • Live happier, more balanced lives


Removing access to hemp-derived CBD doesn’t remove the need — it only removes a safe solution.




What You Can Do Right Now


This moment matters. Policy decisions made today will impact animals for years to come.

You can help by:

  • Educating yourself with factual, science-based resources

  • Adding your voice through our National Builder initiative

  • Sharing our guest article and advocacy efforts

  • Supporting brands that prioritize animals over profits




Our Promise


Asher House Wellness was built on rescue, second chances, and unconditional love. We will continue to:

  • Advocate for animals who cannot speak for themselves

  • Stand with responsible hemp leaders like Charlotte’s Web

  • Fight for access to natural wellness solutions

  • Lead with integrity, compassion, and facts


This isn’t about politics. It’s about peace, dignity, and protection for the animals we love.
