🌿 Welcome to Tennessee Cannabiz

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

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

Our roots stretch back to 2008–2018, when we advocated for hemp legalization under Hemp Werx. That decade of work laid the foundation for the conversations 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, research-driven, advocacy-minded 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.

  • 🌿 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

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, 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 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.

A Thank You Letter To President Trump for Opening the Door to Cannabis Research

  Trump's Cannabis From Schedule I to Schedule III Move Dear President Trump, I want to extend a sincere and enthusiastic thank you for your leadership in considering and moving forward with the rescheduling of marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance — a step that has already begun to reshape the national conversation around cannabis, research, and medical science. Your public remarks acknowledging that many people want this reclassification because it “leads to tremendous amounts of research that can’t be done unless you reclassify” reflect a willingness to look beyond old stigmas and recognize the potential for science and medicine to understand cannabis more fully. This shift — which would acknowledge cannabis as a substance with accepted medical use and a lower potential for abuse relative to Schedule I drugs — marks one of the most significant federal policy considerations in decades. By opening the door to research, innovation, an...

Key differences Between Schedule I and Schedule III — What Rescheduling Marijuana Could Mean

  Key differences Between Schedule I and Schedule III — What Rescheduling Marijuana Could Mean Schedule I vs Schedule III Under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA), drugs are classified into schedules based on their accepted medical use, potential for abuse, and risk of dependence. Two key schedules in this context are Schedule I and Schedule III: Schedule I : Drugs with no currently accepted medical use in the U.S., a high potential for abuse , and potentially severe psychological or physical dependence. Examples include heroin, LSD, and currently, marijuana (cannabis). Schedule III : Drugs with accepted medical use , moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence, and a lower abuse risk compared to Schedules I or II. Examples include ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone, and certain codeine combinations (like Tylenol with codeine). Rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would formally recognize its medical benefits...

Free the Green: A Letter to President Donald J. Trump

  🇺🇸 Free the Green: A Letter to President Donald J. Trump An Open Plea from the American People & the Cannabis Family Legalize It President Trump, It’s time to Free the Green — to remove marijuana from the federal Schedule I classification, where it has been trapped since the Nixon era. A Law Without a Vote Few Americans realize that marijuana’s placement as a Schedule I drug — supposedly with “no medical value and a high potential for abuse” — was never voted on by Congress . It was assigned there in 1970 under the Controlled Substances Act by executive direction, intended as a temporary classification until a scientific commission could study the plant and make recommendations. That commission, known as the Shafer Commission , did complete its work — and in 1972, it recommended that marijuana should not be criminalized and should be removed from Schedule I entirely. The findings were ignored. Politics won. Science lost. And for over fifty years, that mi...
