World Hemp Regulatory Association
 International Standardization Of Hemp Products


We created this organization to promote our cause and inform people around the world about Hemp regulatory standards. 

Advocacy and representation

New regulations and laws that control how your hemp company operates and how well it succeeds emerge each year. That’s where we come in, the World Hemp Regulatory Association, takes on the fight so that you can focus on what matters most for your growth and prosperity.

Education and networking

We believe in peer learning and the value of personal connections. That’s why our programs and initiatives create opportunities for you to meet and learn from other industry professionals.

Research and insight

The hemp industry is fast-paced and ever-changing. That’s why we continually conduct industry research to help our members stay ahead of the game. From our research on operations and the regulations, we work to get you in front of trends before they emerge.  Explore the research, trends and insight available to you as a member.
