Polite Closing Their Doors | A Heartfelt Thank You to an Amazing Hemp Vendor
I wanted to share an important update with the Bud & Blossom community.
After years of serving patients and customers through thoughtful hemp wellness products and education, Polite will be winding down operations over the coming months due to increasing regulatory challenges within the hemp industry — including growing state-by-state restrictions and a pending federal ban on full-spectrum hemp products beginning later this year.
You can read more about the latest policy developments here: House Passes Farm Bill Including Hemp Provisions, But Without Delaying THC Product Ban Scheduled For This Year (Marijuana Moment).
For those in my community who have come to rely on Polite products, this transition may understandably feel uncertain.
If there are products you’ve loved or have been meaning to try, now is a good time to stock up while inventory remains available. My affiliate code BUDANDBLOSSOM will remain active through July, and Polite plans to continue general sales through September 2026 while supplies last.
The End of An Era
This news of Polite closing is deeply bittersweet! Over the past several years, it has been an incredible honor to work alongside the Polite team as their Community Wellness Educator — helping create educational resources, support customers, advocate for informed use, and participate in meaningful conversations surrounding cannabinoid wellness and patient care.
What always stood out to me about Polite was their heart. They consistently approached hemp wellness with thoughtfulness, integrity, curiosity, and a genuine desire to help people feel better and live more fully. In an industry that can sometimes become noisy or overly commercialized, Polite remained deeply grounded in education, safety, advocacy, and the patient experience.
I’m profoundly grateful for the relationships, learning experiences, and community connections that came from this chapter of my life.
To the Polite team: thank you for your trust, your care, your advocacy, and your dedication to this work. I truly wish each of you the very best as you move into your next chapters.
