A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online.
A letter dated March 20 addresses the consequences of Republican lawmakers’ choice to legalize hemp production in the 2018 omnibus Farm Bill — a decision that perhaps inadvertently led to a multibillion-dollar market in intoxicating cannabis products that are arguably federally legal.
Now, the attorneys general want Congress to shutter the market it helped create. In the new Farm Bill, they want the legislature to enshrine in statute the idea that intoxicating cannabis is not federally legal — contrary to what the law currently states.
Started buying Farm Bill hemp products over COVID. I’m surprised really that it took them this long to start pushing to change it.
So many hemp products available these days. You can get hemp dog chews! My dog loves them! No, they don’t get her high.
I guess these AGs don’t want those businesses anymore.
For real. I was pretty skeptical but I really can’t tell the difference between the delta 9 THC edibles I buy (in a state without even medical) and the real thing.
If they reverse this, a shit load of tax dollars are going back to states with legal recreational cannabis.
Just to be clear “Delta 9 THC” is the “real thing”.
Delta 8 is also real but a minor cannabinoid with a milder effect.
Hemp-derived THC is too many word
I mean that you’re probably confusing Delta 8 and 9. Delta 9 is the main cannabinoid in regular cannabis, it’s just regular THC.
From my understanding, when it comes to edibles, your liver converts both delta-9 and delta-8 into 11-hydroxy-thc so the effect should be almost exactly the same. Where as when you smoke or vape delta-8 or delta-9 there is no conversion that happens which leads to differing effects.
That’s interesting because I never really got much out of the delta-8/9 carts. I’ve tried a few over the years hoping they’d get better; guess I’ll quit doing that lol
