The CRAFT Industry Standards Pledge
The CRAFT Industry Standards Pledge is a shared statement of principles.
It exists to bring cannabis and hemp organizations together around responsible regulation, workforce education, and industry credibility, while respecting independence, autonomy, and diverse policy positions.
Participation is voluntary, non-exclusive, and designed to support collaboration—not control.
Organizations participating in the CRAFT Network affirm their commitment to the following shared principles:
Clear, Lawful Regulation
Support regulations grounded in statute, science, and enforceability.
Education & Professional Standards
Promote workforce education, training, and responsible industry practices.
State Authority with Federal Clarity
Respect state regulatory frameworks while supporting federal clarity that reduces confusion and risk.
Good-Faith Industry Collaboration
Engage constructively with regulators, policymakers, and peer organizations.
Transparency, Integrity, and Public Trust
