SoapBox Hemp Grounds the Cannabis Conversation in US Statute and Honest Price Data

DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today launched SoapBox Hemp at https://hemp.soapbox.community, the hemp and cannabis vertical that grounds the subject in US statute and honest, provenance-tagged data.
The surface explains hemp versus marijuana directly from the governing statutes (7 U.S.C. § 1639o and 21 U.S.C. § 802), carries a registry of reform organizations and cannabis and entheogen churches as facts with links and a right-of-reply, publishes a retail flower price index derived as the family’s own median, and offers a seed and strain price index with SeedFinder-style lineage link-outs.
It is a keyless, zero-dependency service, part of the SoapBox law-and-rights layer alongside the legal portal at https://law.soapbox.community, and it connects to the Kush Farm grow game at https://kush.soapbox.community and the seed shop at https://shop.melek.salon.
SoapBox Hemp is reachable from the hub at https://soapbox.community and the AI guide at https://hathor.live, and its deeper harm-reduction and ethnobotany material lives in the Library of Ashurbanipal at https://wiki.soapbox.community.
