Why We’re Proud to Stand With the One Plant Alliance
Building a Fair, Unified, and Sustainable Future for Cannabis
The U.S. cannabis industry has entered a defining moment. After years of rapid expansion, evolving regulations, and ongoing tension between sectors, the market is more complex – and more divided – than ever. Licensed cannabis operators face inconsistent rules from state to state. Hemp producers navigate a completely separate regulatory system. Legacy-market participants remain excluded from many legal frameworks despite their deep cultural and agricultural contributions.
Amid all of this, one reality is clear: the cannabis world needs unity, clarity, and fairness.
That’s why at Blimburn Seeds, we are proud to support and stand with the One Plant Alliance (OPA) and their mission to bring the entire cannabis community under a science-based, consumer-focused, and equitable regulatory vision.

A Unifying Vision: “One Plant, One Policy”
The One Plant Alliance is built around a simple but transformative idea: cannabis is just one plant. Whether grown for hemp-derived cannabinoids, licensed THC products, or by legacy farmers who have cultivated it long before legalization, the plant itself is the same and it should be regulated through a unified, evidence-driven framework.
Today, hemp and licensed cannabis operate under dramatically different rules, despite producing chemically similar compounds like THC, CBD, CBG, and others. Meanwhile, legacy operators – many of whom helped build today’s industry – are often sidelined entirely. This fragmentation has led to confusion, market instability, and uneven consumer protections.
By fostering collaboration between hemp, licensed, and legacy sectors, OPA aims to build a regulatory system that:
- Protects consumers with consistent safety standards
- Eliminates unnecessary complexity and duplication
- Supports small farmers and entrepreneurs
- Uplifts legacy communities rather than excluding them
- Creates a more stable, trustworthy national market
Their “One Plant, One Policy” philosophy is a blueprint for long-term sustainability — not just for businesses, but for consumers and communities who depend on fair access and reliable information.
Leadership Rooted in Advocacy and Experience
One of the most compelling aspects of the One Plant Alliance is the credibility and history behind it. Its founders – Steve DeAngelo, Andrew DeAngelo, and Amber D. Lengacher – include long-standing cannabis reform advocates, experienced operators, and policy experts who have spent decades fighting for common-sense regulation and consumer safety.
Many have roots in early medical cannabis programs, pioneering dispensaries, legacy advocacy networks, and scientific testing initiatives. Their combined expertise spans cultivation, retail, analytics, hemp agriculture, and political reform making OPA uniquely positioned to advocate for regulation that serves the entire community, not just one segment of it.
This depth of experience helps the Alliance move beyond theory, offering practical, implementable solutions that address the real-world challenges businesses and consumers face today.
Why a Unified Approach Matters Now More Than Ever
The current regulatory divide between hemp and licensed cannabis has created a host of unintended consequences:
- Consumer confusion
Products with identical cannabinoids can be sold under completely different rules, leading to inconsistent testing standards and widely variable product quality.
- Unequal business opportunities
Hemp operators face barriers to entering licensed cannabis markets, while licensed cannabis businesses struggle to compete with hemp-derived THC products that are taxed and regulated differently.
- Fragmentation that slows innovation
When sectors operate in silos, research, technology, and best practices don’t flow freely delaying progress for everyone.
- Legacy communities are still left out
The people who carried cannabis culture through the decades – often at personal and legal risk – are still too often excluded from regulated economic opportunities.
OPA’s unified strategy addresses all these issues at once, offering a path toward a healthier, safer, and more equitable cannabis economy.
Why Blimburn Seeds Supports This Mission
At Blimburn Seeds, our work starts with the plant itself, its genetics, its history, and the cultural roots that span continents and generations. We believe in a cannabis future where every grower, breeder, farmer, researcher, or consumer is treated with fairness and respect.
Supporting the One Plant Alliance aligns deeply with our values:
- Science should lead regulation, not stigma or outdated assumptions.
- Small growers and legacy farmers deserve a seat at the table.
- Consumers deserve consistent, transparent safety standards.
- The cannabis community is stronger when united, not divided.
The challenges of the modern cannabis market are real. But solutions grounded in unity and science – like those the One Plant Alliance is championing – give us confidence that a better future is possible.
