what they do when you take on power, in the end. fuckers.

the whole point of laws like these, similar to ID verification or porn bans, is to cause a chilling effect and destroy the industry simply by making it hard to conduct regular business.

sorry, you're incorrect. this locks these products to dispensaries in the best case or completely prevents them from being sold by preventing transportation in the worst. prior to that the 2018 farm bill allowed them to be sold just about anywhere, which was an important step against the drug war.

it's all the american empire and its 66+ 51st state satrapies and unsinkable aircraft carriers. the US military is the absolute top polluter across the globe and it's not even close, covered up at the behest *of* the US military.

in this case, this was hitting hemp-based delta 8, delta 9 thc and cbd blends that were able to directly compete thanks to the prior farm bill that had opened up the hemp industry. this is just purestrain conservatism to defend the booze industry.

why even post etc etc

this was lobbied for by companies like coca-cola who I assume own or are leveraged in alcoholic beverage companies that were fearful of losing their asses to hemp thc drinks that were starting to pop up in booze shops. it's to prop up fucking alcohol of all things.

we can never escape a single issue- everything that is wrong with human leadership and rule crafting remains. we just keep having to Re defend every right over and over and over.

our concern with capitalism isnt that it sells you things. they made the wedge issue of weed up from racist smoke and magical thinking. pretending that section of legal excuses is actually a serious concern of society just helps exasperate the tension between the people and the state.

Under capitalism we are always at war with the capitalist class. It doesn't have to be this way

porn bans and queer bans? biopolitical maintenance on top of speech control to chill political speech on things like genocide. thc bans like this? ways to grow the prison industry, protect more harmful industries than thc, and do drug moralism all at the same time.

read some marx and get beyond this childish understanding of how capital operates please. it's not simply about selling you weed, its about competition. soft drink companies that are leveraged or own booze companies don't want competition and don't want to dev their own THC products, so they ban it.
