Core Tenets
In an industry as dynamic as cannabis, our annual priorities may change, but our coalition remains committed to Core Tenets that guide our agenda and investments.
No. 1 — To develop a safe and ethical industry that helps protect the public from harm.
No. 2 — To design a scalable and effective legal market that provides sustainable, safe access to cannabis.
No. 3 — To build an industry that is owned and nurtured by Tennesseans now and for future generations.
Balanced Strategy
Creating stability in our current hemp-derived cannabinoid market is the primary focus, as it sets the foundation for all future policies in the cannabis industry in Tennessee. However, our strategy is not limited to hemp-derived cannabis. Cultivate Tennessee has developed a foundation for the future of all cannabis in Tennessee that will be built with the business and the end consumer in mind.
