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.
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.
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.

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.
