In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it
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 …
Finally, around 2023, the legal cannabis frontier pushed even further. Enterprising vendors realized that Congress had banned cannabis “flower” containing more than 0.3 percent of delta-9 THC — but that even intoxicating cannabis doesn’t contain delta-9 dHC.
Instead, it contains delta-9 THCa — or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a chemical that is non-intoxicating unless exposed to heat, at which point it is converted to intoxicating THC. (That’s why simply eating marijuana doesn’t get the consumer high.)
Therefore, based on a strict reading of the 2018 Farm Bill, Congress hadn’t just legalized the growth of hemp fibers — it had legalized smokable, intoxicating cannabis, which was legal up until the point that the purchaser lit it on fire.
As one online vendor notes, “THCa is completely legal across the U.S. It contains less than 0.3 percent Delta-9 THC, which according to the DEA, makes it federally legal.”
Lmao
Idiots couldn't even write their own law with the proper chemical in cannabis. They wrote it as THC but cannabis only has THCA until its decadbolized. Thats how people can sell smokable weed as 'hemp'.
A few years ago everyone in the senate unanimously passed a bill to abolish day light savings. The reason is because the interns brought in the bills, and the politicians just told them to sign off on it without reading it. Of course, the one good thing that this godforsaken country can muster up never passed the house.

“No comment,” Cotton told BuzzFeed News when asked why he didn’t object to the bill.
Don't you love how the elected representatives of the people have 0 obligation to answer questions about their decisions

Funny how they repeated this twice, they're trying to stick the idea that weed is toxic but it's just not, the lethal dose you'd have to take is physically impossible to achieve. There's not enough research to really tell what the effects are but I personally believe all the negative press is more of the same- trying to prop up the tobacco and paper industries because of so many uses that cannabis has, both as a medicinal plant and a source of materials (hemp). It's no different from why it was criminalized in the first place, so the beat goes on.
I don't think anyone uses the word "intoxication" to mean something is toxic. It means you get high off it.
Well then I guess it's just the autism 😆 🤷🏿♂️
Me and my friends telling each other about our cousin who went septic after overdosing on 7 injected marijuanas for the 10 billionth time
just to help me understand, alcohol then is considered toxic cuz it's like literally poison right?
in small doses alcohol still kills cells and whatnot, whereas the distinction you're making is saying marijuana or thc in any form (that anyone is realistically gonna find it in) is not 'intoxicating' and rather when people use the word intoxicating they may be referring to how one is not 'sober' after consuming thc but it's a misnomer to and erroneous to think thc is actually 'intoxicating'
did i kinda get that right?
Yes, actually! Lol
wait i should be cooking these gummies?
No the gummies contain cannabis extracts that have already been converted into the form your body can metabolize.
THCa rocks/diamonds are pretty cool actually. Less than 4$/g in bulk. Can be converted into THC during cooking, so it's easier than decarbing or turning already-vaped bud into edibles.
j*sus marie they're not rocks they're minerals!
yo uhhh… where are you finding it that cheap?👀
I don't get it. Wouldn't this case already be covered under the Federal Analogue Act?
idk I think there's shit being sold as "legal thca" that is not the same as regular weed because it does fuck all when smoked
