Newsom administration moves to permanently ban hemp THC in California

Friday’s proposal to permanently ban hemp THC comes after years of complaints from California’s licensed marijuana industry, which has claimed that it faces unfair competition from unregulated hemp companies. Marijuana companies face sky-high regulatory costs, especially in California, and can only sell their products through state-licensed retailers. Hemp companies, on the other hand, face almost no regulations and have historically been able to sell their intoxicating drugs almost anywhere, including liquor stores, grocery stores and online.

This disparity between the two industries has created pressure on governors like Newsom to protect their state-regulated cannabis companies.

This decision makes sense to me.

It’s weird that every time someone goes against Trump there is an effort to manufacture consent to hate those people.

As 75 Democrats Vote to Praise ICE, Ilhan Omar Wants to Hold Police Accountable for Protest Abuses

This is a transparent, well-worn DC play. Put Democrats in a political box by forcing them to choose between voting against an antisemitism resolution so Republicans can slam them as being antisemitic and anti-Israel — or voting for the resolution, so they can hit the Party for being divided and chaotic.

Seems like this article is trying to do the latter.

I wish these tactics didn’t work but this is how the GOP got control of our country.

This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.

You’re saying Russia is invading Ukraine and China is getting ready to invade Taiwan because the US has less control because of decadence?

This isn’t even the first time in US history that they’ve become isolationist.
