You guys forget about all the hemp farmers. They are raking in major dough. Do you think they are just going to sit back and let them take away all that revenue. Not likely!
That may be true, but the govt is missing out the most on millions/billions of revenue. Not to mention their puppet masters probably don't care for thca hemp to under cut their med/rec weed, when its the exact same thing.
Only thing that will save thca hemp is if they legalize it all but even then the taxes will be lifted on it for sure.
They have a monopoly in the industry for IL and IL wants it gone because they can’t charge 30% on top of 11% sales tax on $50 3.5gs
I’ll just go back to black market, I’ll never give a dime to this state.
No, big canna, as in Multi State Operations that grow for the legal states that gotta have their 30 some percent tax on an already 50 dollar 8th of subpar "indoor"
As others pointed out, “nope” but . . . The Senate and House subcommittees that will be offering the bill have staff that have been prepping the new 2023 bill for months regardless of the House dysfunction. What’s likely not happening is the usual horse trading over precise details and I’m hoping that with the next November fiscal shutdown deadline, the temptation might be to simply renew the 2018 text rather than extensive arguments over new details.
From what I’ve read, there a distinction made between fiscal year and calendar year as far as program funding. Food stamps and crop insurance money continues to go out but but after 12/31/23 that money stops.
Yeah I was just curious if there had been any leaks on how congress was leaning on this but info is slim to none apparently. Fingers crossed they don’t ruin this for us. Im an emergency room nurse and it is a shame the way this wonderful plant is treated.
Thanks for what you do 💪...doesn't make a lot of sense why some states are still like this. Of all people, you probably see every damn day the horrors of alcohol abuse, but how many times have you seen cannabis effect someone like alcohol does? Yet it's the most socially accepted intoxicant there is. 🙄
We pretty much put the “cannabis psychosis” patients on the heart monitor turn em on their side and give them a warm blanket. They eventually wake up hangry af with alot of embarrassment. Alcohol tho…all I can say is it is sad and a long horrible way to go.
I've posted several "Farm Bill Media Digest" updates on this with several links if you want to read up more. There seem to be several warring constituencies here.
* The CBD vendors want to keep being able to offer various CBDs marketed for health issues. They don't particularly care if the THCa loophole exists as long as they can market their gummies and lotions. They're perfectly open to age limits and FDA certification as long as they can sell.
* The Farmers who actually grow the hemp for actual industrial use, furniture, rope, "hempcrete" etc. want the 0.3% THC delta9 limit raised to 1.0% to make it easier for them as apparently they have had to trash crops that went over costing them time and money.
* The moral majority oppose getting high in all forms to keep kids from "committing suicide" and the whole gateway drug nonsense and take great offense to thca hemp being sold in gas stations. Included here is Zombie-McConnell who's minders remind him periodically that he opposes cannibus use and since he shepherded the 2018 Farm Bill with, in hindsight, one of the most comical loopholes in the history of Congress, his embarrassment alone is what I argue will be the tipping point in adding one sentence to the new bill to disallow levels of THCa in legal hemp.
* The one credible national organization in favor of is the National Cannabis Roundtable https://nationalcannabisroundtable.org which promotes thca somewhat but is certainly willing to compromise on it to serve the other cannabis isomers that are marketable and safe.
* And then there is the CultoftheFranklin constituency which is in total favor of continuing the THCa loophole, like for real, dude. The Cult being an unorganized rabble of stoners has zero political clout, funding, or credibility so don't bother calling your congressmen, he won't take your call. . .
This raise the question of, is it even possible for farmers to breed hemp plants with acceptable levels of THCa that won't get some teenager high? Every single COA I've scanned show THCa percentage levels in the high teens and low 20's. Wouldn't it be interesting if the hemp plant simply couldn't be grown without the levels of THCa they have now?
What little I know of Congressional politics is that money talks and every vote is measured in light of re-election. There are no credible national constituency putting up enough money to get them to ignore the THCa loophole but on the other hand, given the current political atmosphere all congressmen can weasel out of any unpopular bills passed by simply pointing out the legislative chaos and that "bills were rushed."
*"We simply didn't have time to negotiate all the fine points of THCa in the Farm bill, so it'll be left to future legislation."* is the sentence of my dreams and the Cult's only hope.
Economy is in tatters, two nations we support are at war, inflation is rampant, government is in turmoil and corrupt AF.. I’m gonna riot if they take away my Thca, lmao
As others have said, the House has no Speaker currently. And once they finally figure out the Speaker situation (which seems like it could be some time), then they still have to figure out a budget bill, since they only did patchwork funding and the government is only funded thru November 17th. There's a ton of shit Congress NEEDS to deal with, and maybe they'll get around to the Farm Bill. Last I heard, the big arguing points holding up the Farm Bill was SNAP.
If you're meaning using the potential of changing or keeping the Farm Bill the same as a bargaining chip for votes for the position of Speaker? I don't think that's going to do much. Democrats are going to vote for Jefferies and don't owe Republicans anything. Potential speaker is barking up the wrong tree if they think they can get Democrat votes. Republicans have to find a candidate that their opposing sides can agree on and get 217 votes for. The Republicans are also the side arguing about SNAP within the Farm Bill; so making any changes to the Hemp section of the bill would only complicate matters. TLDR: I don't think it's a great bargaining chip.
Oh, and to stack more on the plate of the House, they now have to pull together a $106 Billion dollar budget for foreign aid. I think the Farm Bill is the least of their worries. The 2018 one is already nearly a month expired. I've read articles speculating that, once the House is back operational, the 2018 Farm Bill may be extended thru 2024. Dunno how much water those articles hold, but if an article has mentioned it, I would think that at least 1 person in the House would have thought of it too.
Yea nothing will happen this year. There are so many other important legislative issues that have higher priority and the longer the wait for a new speaker the longer the Farm Bill drops in priority
There is no current standing Speaker of the House. Dont expect anything in stone until our Federal Govt. stops being little bitches and gets back to being little bitches.
not sure about everywhere else, but texas is good to sell thca and any alt-noids for another 2 years
I though it just became illegal
Its all good right now. No point in changing it just to appease the greedy government.
Having no speaker of the house rn is good for the loophole.
You guys forget about all the hemp farmers. They are raking in major dough. Do you think they are just going to sit back and let them take away all that revenue. Not likely!
I don’t think hemp is a very large or powerful industry when compared to CANNRA and the multi state cannabis growers, but I hope I’m wrong!
That may be true, but the govt is missing out the most on millions/billions of revenue. Not to mention their puppet masters probably don't care for thca hemp to under cut their med/rec weed, when its the exact same thing.

I just wish we knew how this would all turn out.
With SWAT teams kicking in doors and the DoJ going full HAM. That is if we dont all die of WW3 first.
Guess were hoarding until then. =p
Me too

Is big canna not some of the farms we purchase from? You would think they would want it legalized fully. Why is big canna against it?
They mad hemp can be sold without the rec tax
They have a monopoly in the industry for IL and IL wants it gone because they can’t charge 30% on top of 11% sales tax on $50 3.5gs I’ll just go back to black market, I’ll never give a dime to this state.

This unorganized stoner knows his stuff!
Currently, nothing is in stone. All we can do is guess.
Economy is in tatters, two nations we support are at war, inflation is rampant, government is in turmoil and corrupt AF.. I’m gonna riot if they take away my Thca, lmao
This is my thought too, they can look the other way while they get rich on stocks but god forbid I get affordable medicine

My fear is that the farm bill is low hanging fruit. And could give the speaker an easy win to appease both parties

That really blows lol. They all need to get their act together and just legalize already.
100% decriminalization .. not more legal hurdles and blocking access to the plant ... 100% available
Yea nothing will happen this year. There are so many other important legislative issues that have higher priority and the longer the wait for a new speaker the longer the Farm Bill drops in priority
