Help RedBird Hemp after Police raid & closure of Hemp Store!

Hello Fellow RedBirds!!

On Friday, June 13th, Temple Police Department came into our shop and confiscated all our hemp products. This left us effectively with no products to sell, forcing us to close our doors without notice. While our team has always operated with a strong commitment to compliance, transparency and safety, this unexpected and sudden closure has rocked our world. All products that were sold in our store were sourced responsibly and tested in accordance with Texas Hemp Laws. We also maintained certificates of analysis (COA’s), licensing, and implement age-verification protocols always. Owners, Griffin and Kristi started RedBird Hemp originally in 2019 after the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill and, after COVID times, reopened the business in June of 2021. They opened RedBird Hemp to provide Griffin's grandfather with CBD gummies to help with his Neuropathy pain. Griffin and Kristi studied the hemp plant thoroughly and over time grew to be one of the top hemp stores in Central Texas. RedBird's employees went through extensive training to ensure quality service and knowledge for the community. Back in April, Kristi traveled to Austin to speak at the Capitol against HB28 and SB3. RedBird's employees have also prioritized advocating for the hemp industry by running protests and encouraging clients to sign petitions to keep hemp products legal.

The loss of RedBird Hemp this week has been devastating to employees and the owners. We are creating this GoFundMe to help with the large legal fees that RedBird is now facing and to help supplement the immediate loss of income. If you can help by donating or sharing this fundraiser, it is appreciated more than you know! We appreciate the support of our clients and community. Your trust and loyalty mean the world to us.
