Welcome to Tennessee Cannabiz

Educating on the past, advocating for the present, and cultivating Tennessee’s legal cannabis future.

Tennessee Cannabiz has been here since the beginning of the hemp era — and we’re not stopping anytime soon.

Our roots go back to 2008–2018, when we first advocated for hemp legalization under Hemp Werx (hempwerx.com). That decade of work built the foundation for the conversation Tennessee is still having today. When the Farm Bill passed in 2018, we shifted gears and rebranded as Tennessee Cannabiz — dedicated to tracking, reporting, and amplifying the rise of cannabis in the Volunteer State.

Tennessee Cannabiz is a news-gathering, researching, and advocating machine. Even without big funding, we believe in putting ideas on the table: if it exists, we’ll report on it. If it doesn’t exist, we’ll call for it.

Our Mission

To see Tennessee — The Agriculture State — become the world’s leader in the cannabis business, aka The Cannabiz.

That means:

• Supporting hemp as a sustainable, restorative crop.
• Highlighting the opportunities of cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, THCa, and Delta-9.
• Advocating for legalization paired with smart, fair oversight — not knee-jerk bans or power grabs from alcohol regulators.
• Pushing for innovation, from soil remediation to renewable plastics, textiles, and beyond.
• Giving voice to farmers, shop owners, patients, and entrepreneurs across the state.

Why We Exist

Because cannabis isn’t going away. The question is: will Tennessee lead, or will we fall behind?

We believe our state has everything it takes — the farmland, the people, the know-how — to turn cannabis into a powerhouse industry. The challenge is political will. Too often, we’ve seen leaders treat cannabis as a threat instead of an opportunity. But here at Tennessee Cannabiz, we’re not waiting around. We’re telling the story, building the case, and keeping the conversation alive until the law finally catches up to the plant.

Looking Ahead

Whether you’re a farmer, a small business owner, or just someone curious about the future of cannabis in Tennessee, this blog is for you. We’ll keep gathering news, sharing research, and advocating for a better path forward.

Because one thing’s clear: Cannabiz is here. Tennessee can lead. And we won’t stop until it does.
