What CRAFT Is — and What It Isn’t
CRAFT is not a lobbying group.
We are not a PAC, a political organization, or a pressure campaign.
CRAFT is a workforce training hub, a national certification program, and a provider of common-sense standards that protect the future of hemp and cannabis in America.
In a volatile regulatory climate, misinformation is being used to claim our industry is “unregulated.” That narrative is wrong — and dangerous. CRAFT exists to counter it with something Congress, regulators, and the public cannot ignore:
Real training. Real standards. Real accountability.
Standards You Can Trust. Training that delivers.
The smarter way to train your team.
CRAFT simplifies hemp compliance with certified courses, real-world lessons, and auto-updated training modules—built by industry experts.
