Weed Like Change! Just Say No to Industrial Cannabis

April 14, 2022 by David Bronner and Les Szabo

Dr. Bronner’s has advocated for cannabis policy reform since the early 2000s—first focusing on industrial hemp, then pivoting to medical and recreational decriminalization and legalization efforts. We’ve long held that cannabis is a plant that can help heal our people and planet. Unfortunately, big business has moved into states where cannabis had been legalized, seeking to reap big profits and leaving legacy cannabis growers high and dry. The massive oversupply of industrial cannabis and its dependence on fossil fuels and... Continue Reading

Natural Medicine Colorado: Combining Regulated and Community Healing Models

March 02, 2022 by David Bronner

The Natural Medicine Health Act (NMHA), the ballot measure filed by Natural Medicine Colorado is one seamless policy: making natural medicines—psychedelic plant and fungal medicines containing psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine or mescaline (excepting peyote)—available to all adult Coloradans in two powerful healing modalities: via a regulated access model in a therapeutic context; and the self-regulating community healing model in a decriminalized context.Continue Reading

Remembering Joyful Hemp Warrior Steve Levine

January 07, 2022 by David Bronner

We’re sad to relay that Steve Levine, former President of the Hemp Industries Association and rock star hemp ganja joyful warrior, left us on January 1st. He also served as a boardmember for Vote Hemp and worked at Dr. Bronner’s as our trade show director for many years.

We spoke with Camille Labchuk, animal rights lawyer and executive director of Animal Justice, about the impact the organization is striving for.Continue Reading

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bronner’s launched a rapid-response donation effort to distribute hygiene products to high-risk communities—and found itself positioned to support a fast-growing movement that re-popularized the concept of mutual aid. Five years later, Dr. Bronner’s Mutual Aid Product Donation Program has supported 347 grassroots groups across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico with hundreds of thousands of units of soap and hand sanitizer. This article explores the program’s evolution, key partnerships, and the deep impact of community-led solidarity efforts.Continue Reading

Earlier this year, Dr. Bronner’s announced that we will not renew our B Corp Certification when it expires later this year. Our announcement followed a multi-year campaign by Dr. Bronner’s, and many other companies, calling on B Lab to meaningfully improve the B Corp standard. Based on draft revisions to the standard B Lab released previously, we knew that V7, once finally released, would still fail to prevent the dilution of the B Corp mission and protect the integrity of the certification.Continue Reading
