Shutdown Bill Targets Hemp Industry

[Stalin]

Advocates for hemp on Wednesday decried a provision of the Republican government funding law signed by President Donald Trump that tightens restrictions on the versatile plant—a move critics say will devastate a $30 billion industry.

The new restrictions set a stricter limit on the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the psychoactive chemical in cannabis—in order to close a loophole that allowed for the sale of unregulated food and beverages containing intoxicating hemp-derived compounds.

Twenty-two Democratic senators—including advocates for legal recreational or medical marijuana—joined almost all Republicans in voting against an amendment introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to strip out the restrictions from the final bill. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas was the only other Republican to back Paul’s effort.

"Recriminalizing hemp will force American farms and businesses to close and disrupt the well-being of countless Americans who depend on hemp," warned one critic.

Any law that makes Americans safer and healthier by restricting harmful substance abuse is a good law.

Less consumption of harmful drugs or alcohol is certainly better than more consumption of harmful drugs or alcohol.

Alcohol is far more deadly than marijuana, so any action that causes potheads to become alcoholics is detrimental to the people of this country. Prohibition of course, does not work.

Turning to lesser harmful substances from greater harmful substances is a far cry from abstaining from harmful substances altogether.

There is no proof that marijuana is harmful in every situation,on the contrary, it is helpful to a lot of people.
Complete abstinence is impossible, but no one comes closer to it than Saudi Arabia.

Jesus served and actually created wine. In the ritual cannibalism called The Holy Communion, wine changes to Jesus blood in a sacred ritual.

Addicts will come up with strange justifications for their immoral behaviors.

What is stranger than talking snakes, Zombies cruising Jerusalem, curing inanity by transferring demons into a herd of swine, and ritual cannibalism?

So you agree with the Saudis that all alcohol should be prohibited?

I think laws banning the abuse of harmful substances are rightly motivated whether workable or not.
