In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it
thehill.com

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online.

letter dated March 20 addresses the consequences of Republican lawmakers’ choice to legalize hemp production in the 2018 omnibus Farm Bill — a decision that perhaps inadvertently led to a multibillion-dollar market in intoxicating cannabis products that are arguably federally legal.

Now, the attorneys general want Congress to shutter the market it helped create. In the new Farm Bill, they want the legislature to enshrine in statute the idea that intoxicating cannabis is not federally legal — contrary to what the law currently states.

It’s hemp, so low THC, so doesn’t do a whole lot.

It’s better than nothing, technically, but you’re basically buying oregano all over again in middle school.

It’s ok, it works for you, but it’s not real weed, I would call it gas station weed lol

My subscription is type 2 (thc+cbd) and i buy type 1 (high thc) when there's a good strain on sale. Both are legally available at the links i shared. Not sure about gas station weed - i haven't seen that.

I hear you, but you are smoking hemp, not real weed. It’s classified as such as there is low THC, as in, not real weed. When I say real weed, I mean what the DEA says is real weed, not what some random company is selling. You aren’t going to jail in your illegal state for weed with your hemp.

You can go read all about it on the wiki, but again, you aren’t smoking real weed nor getting high.
