CEO David Bronner is a critic of drug prohibition and an activist for the legalization of a number of psychoactive substances.[20] In 2004, the company sued the Drug Enforcement Administration with the goal of changing rules regarding the importation of hemp oil.[3] A federal judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.[21] David Bronner has been arrested twice for civil disobedience protesting limitations on the domestic production of hemp. In 2004, he planted hemp seeds on the lawn of the Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters, and in 2012, he harvested hemp while locked in a metal cage in front of the White House.[22] In 2015, he was named Cannabis Activist of the Year by the Seattle Hempfest.[23]
