Because products sold as non-psychoactive should generally actually be non-psychoactive. Though personally I appreciate it from the perspective of I’d like to be able to eat hemp protein without failing a drug test.

I feel you on that, but drug tests are bullshit anyway. Unless a test can reliably tell that you’re under the influence at work, they shouldn’t be able to use them.

I mean, agreed, but I’m working for the DOT so… Not a lot I can do about that at least until it gets rescheduled. Hopefully if it gets rescheduled people can get a federally acknowledged prescription and the ADA should take care of the rest.

If it were just about protecting the public, they would require a label of ingredients, which most items already have.

No. Only ∆9 is limited. Per the farm bill, thca is hemp, so the same stuff you would buy at a dispensary can be legally purchased online and shipped to all but a handful of states. It’s all about the money.

Because it cuts into profits and taxes from dispensaries.

I think this is more accurately the reason why he’s making a big deal. They tax every sale from the dispensary.
