Bubble Gum

The federal government is still working out how they will reverse their stance that lasted for over 70 years. For example, the USDA gave guidelines on how to lend to hemp companies, only to rescind it later. They said, “no” to lending hemp farmers relief funds from the government only to say “yes” a bit later when pressured by a group of lawmakers.

The proposed law would permit the possession, use, distribution, and cultivation of marijuana in limited amounts by persons age 21 and older and would remove criminal penalties for such activities.

It’s clear that the federal government still doesn’t know much about cannabis. They can’t consider part of its compounds as therapeutic while still listing it as a dangerous and illegal drug. Considering that the studies are restrictive, it isn’t going to provide us with the data that is so important it could save lives. In fact, they are already off to a horrible start given that the studies are starting off already placing THC in a negative light.
