Jamidah discovers a fatwa by the North American Fiqh Council that approved hemp and CBD as religiously permissible, since they’re non-intoxicating medical assets, and gets struck with an idea that she just couldn’t shake. Jamidah meets Potli’s Felicity Chen, who fatefully, hands her a zine where she discovered Ishaq Ali. Ishaq was already putting in work to address Muslims curious about the cannabis plant, and with a shared mission to destigmatize plant medicine and to heal Muslim communities, Jamidah and Ishaq went on to become the co-founders of Halal Hemp.

Halal Hemp is extremely proud to launch the world’s first social activism streetwear brand. We saw the lack of Muslim representation in the industry and decided to lead de-stigmatization and decolonization efforts. All about social justice in the Hemp and Cannabis space, a portion of all proceeds from the Halal Hemp site directly benefit Muslims wrongfully incarcerated due to the War on Drugs. Our social impact program will also extend to compassion care and other related initiatives. For freedom of the plant and liberation for all.
