0.4 milligrams per container limit? I have to read the rest of the article, but come on.
why not also take this logic into account for alcoholic beverages?
I know why, but the hypocrisy is insane. oh well, what are ya gonna do
The ONLY silver lining is that maybe some states will allow it, like CO and CA on actual weed. And that will encourage them to just make the real stuff legal too.
It’s been 7 years and the world wasn’t destroyed by weed addicts.
why would states w/ legal weed offer these shitty hemp based substitutes? honest query.
They wouldn’t, this change doesn’t really effect them. I meant states could over rule the fed and keep it legal like CA or CO does with weed currently. And then since they took a stand with the shitty alternatives they might as well do it with weed too.
Since the legalization in Germany in April, there has been nothing. No spiking crime rates, no spiking usage numbers, but still conservatives lose their shit Bavarian conservatives especially. You know, those conservatives who drink for tradition, not for fun.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I agree. We need public executions. Either serve the people or don’t serve at all. You serve yourself while in office and we live stream your head falling off
To be clear, this proposition would ban hemp-derived THC. Gas stations and head shops shouldn’t be selling unregulated products like that anyway. Most of them are probably unfit for consumption.
That said, as the article points out, this provision would have consequences beyond Delta-8 vape carts and the like. I think the correct approach is federal legalization.
So the cannabis products sold in licensed dispensaries in NJ, for example, would be safe from this legislation?
That’s correct. This proposition closes the loophole used to sell hemp-derived THC products, but it does not impact anything statutorily defined as “marijuana”. That’s still federally illegal but permitted on a per-state basis
Isn’t cannabis a type of hemp? Where else would you get the THC from?
The 2018 Farm Bill revised the statutory definitions of “marijuana” and “hemp”. Hemp products contain less than 0.3% D9 THC by dry weight, and anything else is considered marijuana. This loophole has allowed companies to sell intoxicating products containing other forms of THC like D8 without adhering to the same regulations that legal marijuana faces, or in states where marijuana is still illegal. The new bill expands the definition of hemp to include all forms of THC and sets a 0.4-mg limit per package, effectively outlawing hemp-derived THC products. This does not impact the classification of marijuana, which is still federally illegal but available on a per-state basis.
have tried these products and found them to be… meh. probably too used to getting actual pot for any of it to register
Fucking Epstein Class cowards hiding this shit.
Didn’t think I’d see the day where THC gummies are legal in France but not in the US… where they are made
