🚨 AHVA MEMBERS — TAKE ACTION TODAY 🚨

Today, our team is traveling to Montgomery to continue critical conversations on v**e and h**p regulation reform to protect small businesses and preserve consumer choice. We need your voice reinforcing those discussions right now.

👉 Please contact your House and Senate representatives TODAY and share:
• How current regulations have impacted your small business or access to products you rely on
• Why the upcoming v**e tax (or existing local tax) will be the final regulatory burden forcing more Alabama businesses to close
• That Alabama still has little to no access to h**p products due to licensing red tape and a broken licensing structure requiring businesses to completely change their models just to stay compliant

Every call, email, and story matters — and every dollar helps cover the legal and administrative costs that allow AHVA to keep fighting for real, workable change.

Your voice goes with us to the State House today.

Due to weather conditions we will open at 12:00 PM -January 26.

Today, AHVA is back at the Alabama State House.

Our advocates are meeting face-to-face with legislators to discuss h**p and v**e regulations and the very real impact of the laws passed in 2025. As we head into these conversations, we’re asking for traveling grace for everyone making the trip from their home districts to stand up for this industry and the people behind it.

But this work doesn’t stop at the State House.

We need every member engaged today:
📞 Call your local legislators
📧 Email their offices
🗣️ Engage and share your experience

Tell them your story.

Explain how h**p and v**e products have:
• Helped you quit or stay away from ci******es
• Supported your small business or employees
• Improved your health, finances, or daily life
• Provided safer alternatives and stability

These laws aren’t just policy on paper — they affect real people, real families, and real livelihoods across Alabama. Legislators need to hear directly from those impacted by the 2025 regulations.

🚨 AHVA Update: We’re Leading the Fight to Save H**p in Alabama! 🚨

A few days ago, we shared that AHVA would not lead litigation over the h**p bill. However, after extensive discussions with industry professionals and colleagues, and in response to an unwavering call for support from our community, we’ve reassessed and firmly believe that we are best positioned to head up this critical battle for our industry and community. 💪🌱

We are now accepting donations to fuel our litigation fund. Our goal is to raise $150,000 by Monday, enabling us to hire legal representation and file necessary actions before July 1st. These funds will be used exclusively for h**p litigation.

Important Information for Donors:
• Donations from consumers are not tax-deductible.
• Businesses can write off donations as business expenses, but not as charitable contributions.

Every dollar brings us closer to protecting the future of h**p in Alabama. We need YOU to stand with us. Who’s ready to help us save h**p in Alabama? 🙌

Thank you for your unwavering support! Together, we can make a difference. 🌿

Make Your Voice Heard: Join AHVA’s Advocacy Day

As you enjoy your weekend or prepare for the week ahead, don’t forget to plan for AHVA’s Advocacy Day at the Alabama State House on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 9 AM to 3 PM.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Our industry faces the potential loss of all smokeable products, leaving only edible products and drinks capped at 5mg per serving. On top of that, legislators want to impose a hefty tax, leaving consumers with weaker products that are more expensive.

Advocacy Day is your chance to meet directly with your local legislators and share how these changes would impact you and others in our community. This is a crucial opportunity to stand up for the products we rely on and ensure our voices are heard.

If we don’t show up and speak out, these changes could become a reality. Let’s come together, advocate for fair regulations, and protect access to these essential products.

See you at the State House on Tuesday!

🚨🚨🚨We need everyone to Email your House of Representatives member starting now until noon tomorrow and tell them to vote no on HB 8. Your rights to v**e are at risk of being gone. 🚨🚨

🚨 Call to Action: Protect Small Businesses and Fight for Sensible Regulation! 🚨

Tomorrow, Alabama HB8 will move to the House floor for a vote, and we need your voice to stop it!

This bill would cripple small, locally-owned v**e shops by requiring all v***r products—including those containing CBD—to be registered on the ENDS directory. This directory was specifically designed for ni****ne products, and expanding it to include all v***r products and CBD creates unnecessary red tape. Meanwhile, convenience stores remain unregulated and free to sell similar products with less oversight, doing nothing to enhance child safety.

HB8 unfairly targets responsible small businesses while ignoring meaningful ways to protect children from underage sales. True regulation should focus on moving these products to 21+ establishments where strict policies and accountability are already in place.

📢 We need your help to urge representatives to VOTE NO on HB8 tomorrow!
• Call your House representatives and tell them this bill hurts small businesses while failing to address real concerns.
• Email or write your representative and demand fair, thoughtful regulation that actually works to keep products out of children’s hands.

It’s time to stand with small businesses and advocate for legislation that is fair, effective, and focused on true solutions. Don’t let HB8 pass without a fight!

🗓 Act now—our future depends on it.

Donations and membership dues can be made at www.AHVA.us to help fund the fight!

Things have went from bad to worse. If you use any type of cbd products, you could loose them very soon. Call and email every Alabama senator today and tell them to vote no on House bill 445.

🚨 THE FIGHT ISN’T OVER—WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER! 🚨

This week, every h**p-related bill moved out of committee. Yesterday, HB445 (Rep. Whitt’s bill) passed the House floor. While we saw it coming and prepared for this moment, it doesn’t hurt any less. But let us be clear: we are not backing down.

🫵 To our industry members: We see you. We hear your concerns. We know you’re watching these bills and wondering what’s next. Rest assured—there is a plan. We’re showing up, taking action, and ensuring your voices are heard. We’ve engaged with key leaders and other industries, and we know their positions. Now, we’re fighting for your seat at the table.

📝Here’s where we need you:
Every supporter of this industry must act TODAY. Call your House and Senate representatives and tell them:
• Support the resolution from Rep. Gray and Sen. Stewart to create a Joint Study Commission. This ensures h**p businesses have a seat at the table to shape better policy through collaboration and education.
• Say NO to HB445 or any bill that bans products or blocks responsible 21+ businesses from operating.
• Support reasonable regulation—not overreach.

This fight is about more than just policies. It’s about protecting livelihoods, jobs, small businesses, and safe access. We’re not asking to be left alone—we’re asking to work together to build fair and effective solutions.

☎️ Now is the time. Make the call. Be heard. Let’s remind them that Alabama’s h**p and v**e industry deserves a seat at the table.
