Ban hemp! Ban homeless! Let MY cops harass and kill protestors, not the military!
Is this what democrats are reduced to these days?
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.
Nah its just to protect the new weed capitalists. I like low dose thc stuff for my panic attacks. I don’t need their expensive corporate weed made to put out a horse. Regulation can get bent. I don’t believe in protectionism for businesses.
It only makes sense if you yourself are being paid by lobbyists. Just pass a regulation for all intoxicating substances. All of the thc/hhc derivatives tested so far are as harmless as cannabis so this isn't a safety issue. Newsom et al is simply getting more in kickbacks to ban this than if they regulated it.
You seriously think anti-weed (or whatever) lobbyists are being paid to comment on Lemmy? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re implying - discrediting the person for who they supposedly are, not for what they’re actually saying.
I'm 90% sure that when they said "you yourself", they actually were referring to Newsom, not to the commenter. I can see how the comment could be taken either way though.
This decision makes sense to me.

I can't read it in any other way than as him calling the previous poster a paid lobbyist.
The marijuana companies have been making money like crazy for years and now they're pissed that someone else is getting a piece of the pie.
Then just regulate it instead, dummy. Shit, California can regulate companies so hard that nearly every product I own has a carcinogen warning label because of them, even though I don't live there, so they sure as hell can regulate hemp products in their own state. Instead, you're turning down free tax dollars and criminalizing people for something they've been doing safely for years.
California does have a regulated market already. If these companies want to participate in the market they can follow the rules like other market participants.
which would make a controversial earlier emergency ban permanent
Is that why I can't find Marley's Mellow Mood anywhere anymore? It used hemp seed oil, and was like the opposite of an energy drink that worked as advertised and also tasted hella good.
This is specifically targettjng hemp derived thc and thca products. If it doesnt have thc in it and get you high then it's likely not part of the ban
