So from my understanding the latest CR bill just passed by the Senate contains a policy rider pertaining to hemp derived THC, effectively ending the 2018 farm bill loophole.

For many years now, you've been able to by hemp derived THC products. Seltzers, edibles, THCA bud.

This bill effectively kills that entire industry. States like NC and SC will be affected.

Seems rather silly when that stuff's been on the market for a while now. Just legalize it already.

I was reading a story about this earlier on yahoo. According to that story, this was pushed by the marijuana industry itself.

Unlike RW myth it is very common for industry to request regulation. Sometimes it's greed, sometimes it's in the public interest, often both.


TACO! A different wealthy donor, maybe Korean, got to Dementia Don. Or, perhaps he and Melon are bosom buddies again.

Trump, who slapped an extra $100,000 on the H-1B visa, now says there aren’t enough talented people in the U.S. to fill jobs

Opps.

Yeah, that's what the story mentioned.....that the pot people didn't like it that the hemp people did not have to adhere to the same rules and regulations and taxes the pot people have to do. Apparently, the hemp people can juice up their hemp with THC to make the hemp more potent than the shit that killed Elvis.

"It's frankly one of the biggest scandals in American history that the Trump administration is _________." -- A template for 5 years (so far) of DonOLD rule. It's almost boring at this point, almost.

Hemp industry plans next move after Trump signs THC ban

Some good intentions, but sounds like the legislation is extreme. It was pushed by some pot people, but also by anti-pot groups, sus. 1 year to take effect so there may be some fixes.

Ok, thanks. So let us ponder how anything trump does, or advocates, is extreme. Extreme ignorance, extreme pettiness, extreme ballroom, extreme incompetence.

Their retail advertisers love that. Idiots.

Trump cut tariffs on these five foods. It’s too late to stop price hikes.

... “Once prices increase, especially for a broad category like groceries, very rarely do they come down,” said David Ortega, a food economist and professor at Michigan State University. And retailers are hesitant to adjust prices too much with things up in the air. “There’s so much uncertainty with tariff announcements coming on and off.”

Thanks MAGA.

... Trump’s agricultural tariff declaration in early November exempted coffee from the reciprocal taxes, but did not initially remove an additional 40 percent tariff on Brazilian imports, which he imposed this summer in retribution for the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro....

Fascists scratch each other's backs.
