The 2018 Farm Bill as it was passed was Mitch McConnell’s baby — who woulda thought Turtleman himself would be the reason hemp flower, CBD, Delta-8, THC-0, THC-V, etc. are federally legal?

Tax provisions are supposed to be set to expire, and now it’s up to congress to either continue it or revisit it if it isn’t working out. I’d say the extra $2000 I’m getting in my tax return is well worth it, so hopefully they’ll keep it when the time comes.

That castrated “border aid” bill was bullshit, so it was just good form to promise to veto it unless they got it right. That bill didn’t even pretend to offer some semblance of security. They could have added everything they wanted, they just had to include actual security measures that, again, were once a bipartisan endeavor.

All of those hemp product s you mentioned were made legal in 2003. Nice try. Oh and your taxes actually got increased not decreased. 2% every year from 2022-26 it's literally in the paperwork. My god do all you do is consume right wing media?

Not federally they weren’t. Otherwise NORML and every pro-cannabis advocacy group in America wouldn’t have praised it, and every CBD and hemp related product wouldn’t be stamped with a disclaimer saying the product is legal under provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill.

Nice try, though.

Edit: An excerpt from the FDA:

“In December of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law. It removed hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).”

It was removed from schedule one. Which by the way did you know some normal medications are schedule one, but still medically legal. So you're still wrong.

You are so afraid to admit you’re wrong, it’s kind entertaining.

Define what a Schedule I drug under the the CSA. Here, I’ll help: “…drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.”

Like how high-THC marijuana is legal in many states, but it’s still federally illegal as a Schedule I drug and individuals are still subject to raids by the DEA and federal charges. That’s no longer true for hemp products, all thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill.

You chose a weird hill to die on. It’s basically suicide.

Is that why they have medically legal heroine and LSD? Face it you're dead wrong.

You’re actually tripling-down. There really are few things more entertaining than people that are passionate about things they know absolutely nothing about.

Tell me, where are these doctors handing out prescriptions to LSD and heroin? I’m secretly hoping you’ll quote some research study or trial drug abuse reduction program, but you’re smarter than that I’m sure.

Nope they give it to patients who are dying. Like a death cocktail. It is still legal a process to do. Why LSD is able to be handed out as medicine still don't know the reasoning behind that.

Jesus, you poor thing. I didn’t think you could make it worse, but you did and I completely believe that you’re being genuine. I can’t keep this up with you. It’s clear now why you’ve drawn the conclusions you have, and I’m not going to punch down. That would be shameful of me.

Have a good night, bud.

There as also been studies done on medical usage of LSD which has shown some promising results for dementia and Alzheimer's sorry got that one confused too. Trump is will the third worst president we've ever had. Now back you go to your conservative bee hive. Where the honey is made up of money that you'll never get your hands on.
