At Kron Cannabis, we’ve always prioritized transparency, safety, and quality in the products we bring to you. As a trusted name in the hemp industry, we’ve already been practicing many of the new requirements Tennessee is now mandating. However, some of these new regulations go beyond what we believe is reasonable—and they could have a direct impact on you, our loyal customers.
While this legislation could be a step toward full cannabis legalization, the way it’s being implemented right now hinders businesses like ours and limits the products you love. We believe you deserve more, and we need your help to push for real change in Tennessee.
The New Regulations: A Step Forward or a Setback?
The new rules issued by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture take effect on October 1, 2024, and they impose stricter controls on the sale, labeling, and potency of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Here’s what’s changing—and how it could affect you.
1. Potency Limits
One of the biggest issues with the new regulations is the limit on the potency of hemp-derived products. This means some of the products you’ve come to rely on for their strength may no longer be available in their current form. While the state mandates these changes under the guise of "safety," they ultimately reduce your options and take away the potency levels you prefer.
At Kron Cannabis, we understand that many of our customers use these products for legitimate wellness and lifestyle reasons. These limitations are not what you want—or what you deserve.
2. License Requirements
We’ve always operated under strict licensing and compliance measures, but now every step of our business, from packaging pre-rolls to selling hemp flower, is under tighter scrutiny. While we’ve been doing this responsibly from the start, the new red tape adds unnecessary costs and delays to the process, which will likely trickle down to you, the consumer.
3. Over-Regulation of Labeling
Tennessee is now enforcing more rigid labeling requirements, including the need for every product to have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and specific warnings. While transparency is important (and we’ve always provided COAs), this level of micro-management stifles businesses. At the end of the day, it drives up costs and forces us to focus more on compliance than innovation—taking away time and resources we could use to bring you better products.
4. No Free Samples
Gone are the days of us being able to offer you samples to try new products at events or in public spaces. The state has banned free sample distribution in parks, sidewalks, or streets. While this is presented as a measure to protect public health, it severely limits how we can engage with you and allow you to experience new products before you buy.
How This Hurts You, Our Customers
While the government claims these regulations are for your protection, we believe they restrict your freedom of choice. Products will have lower potency, limited availability, and higher prices due to increased compliance costs. At Kron Cannabis, we’ve always prided ourselves on offering you a wide variety of products to meet your needs—but these rules will limit what we’re able to provide.
For many of you who use our products for wellness, relaxation, or other personal reasons, these regulations may leave you with fewer options or weaker products. We know this isn’t what you want, and it’s not what we believe you should have to settle for.
This Could Be a Step Toward Legalization—But We Need Your Voice
While these regulations may seem like a small step toward cannabis legalization, the reality is they are far from what’s needed. Legalization in Tennessee would allow us to offer the full spectrum of cannabis products you truly want—without these restrictive potency limits or over-the-top labeling rules.
What can you do? The most important thing right now is to make your voice heard. If you want real change, now is the time to advocate for full cannabis legalization in Tennessee. Contact your local representatives and tell them:
You support legal access to cannabis products that meet your needs.
You oppose unnecessary restrictions that limit your freedom to choose the right products for you.
You believe in the legalization of cannabis as a safer, more transparent option for consumers like you.

We’re Here for You—But We Need Your Help
At Kron Cannabis, we’re committed to continuing to provide you with the highest-quality hemp products we can. We’ve been ahead of the curve when it comes to safety and transparency, and we will always put your needs first. But these new regulations could limit what we can offer, and we need your support to keep fighting for your right to access cannabis products in the way that’s best for you.
