The House Collection and AACPN Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Responsible Federal Consumable Hemp Policy

Partnership brings together constituency-based healthcare advocacy and industry expertise to support continued access to consumable hemp products while Congress develops a responsible federal regulatory framework.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., November 10, 2026 — The House Collection and the American Alternative Care Policy Network (AACPN) today announced a strategic partnership to advance responsible federal consumable hemp policy that preserves lawful access to consumable hemp products for veterans, first responders, frontline workers, trauma survivors, and others who rely on these products as part of their wellness regimens.

Under the agreement, AACPN will recognize The House Collection (THCCoPacking.com and DistributeTHC.com), together with its affiliated brand Legally Highest, as an official consumable hemp industry partner. The House Collection will recognize AACPN as an official policy partner. The organizations will collaborate on federal policy advocacy and joint fundraising initiatives supporting AACPN's healthcare policy mission.

As an alternative healthcare policy organization, AACPN's involvement in federal consumable hemp policy is grounded in its representation of veterans, first responders, frontline workers, and trauma survivors. AACPN's advocacy focuses on preserving their access to alternative healthcare and wellness options.

The House Collection develops and distributes its own consumable hemp products, in addition to providing beverage formulation, manufacturing, co-packing, and distribution services to other brands. Central to its manufacturing capabilities is its proprietary Rapid Release Kinetic Nano™ technology, an industry-leading nanoemulsion process designed to improve beverage quality and consistency.

Both organizations support congressional action to maintain access to consumable hemp products while establishing a reasonable, responsible, and comprehensive federal regulatory framework. With new federal restrictions scheduled to take effect December 11, the partnership will support efforts to prevent unnecessary disruption of access while Congress works toward a lasting solution.

“Partnering with The House Collection brings valuable industry expertise and resources to AACPN's advocacy on behalf of veterans, first responders, frontline workers, and trauma survivors,” said AACPN co-founders Adrian Bruneau and John R. Gordon in a joint statement. “We look forward to a productive, long-term partnership.”

“The House Collection believes that a responsible federal regulatory framework can protect consumers, establish consistent standards for product safety and quality, and ensure that safe, high-quality products remain available to those who rely on them,” said The House Collection founder Bryan Gutierrez. “We share AACPN's commitment to preserving access to consumable hemp products while Congress develops that framework.”

The partnership's first joint fundraiser will take place Saturday, November 21, 6:00 p.m. EST, at Legally Highest, 2310 Vance Avenue, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The public event will bring together representatives of both organizations, industry participants, local veterans, and Greater Chattanooga community members to support AACPN's ongoing healthcare policy advocacy. The event will be the first in a planned series of joint fundraising initiatives, with the partnership also expected to expand into the development of co-branded products.
