The New Hope Network Standards Program has adopted this policy for products that contain hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids to help ensure the industry complies with existing regulations and to encourage best practices that help ensure quality and transparency. Acceptance as an exhibitor or advertiser and approval for exhibition or advertisement of any cannabinoid product at a Natural Products Expo is NOT a determination that the product complies with all local, state, and federal laws all of which may vary. Neither is it, nor is it intended to be, legal advice; exhibitors should always seek the advice of a qualified attorney.
All products that contain cannabinoids, at any level (other than hemp seeds and hemp seed oils which have been designated GRAS), require pre-approval before they may be promoted at any Natural Products Expo event.
Products made from hemp seed and hemp seed oil.
Products made from hemp fiber that are not intended for ingestion or oral use, topical application or inhalation.
When reviewing cannabinoid products, our highest priorities are safety, transparency, truthfulness, reliability and responsibility.
