(68,756 posts)Cannabis is illegal in my state, even for medical use. This loophole around hemp products allows me to legally buy edibles that I really enjoy, especially since I don't drink. Now they've made it illegal again. That ticks me off.
However, I'm not deliberately blind to the risks involved with cannabis. I feel those risks are reduced when companies can legally sell products, as there's a better chance of wuality control. The FDA still exists (for who knows how long) and I'd prefer to buy products at the grocery store than from a dude. But even legal products make some people sick.
I find it ironic that some of the posters insisting in this thread that this is all bs are the same posters who regularly fluff RFK, Jr. as he destroys our food safety systems. Those are the systems designed to protect consumers from contaminated products.
Growing weed in my backyard is not an option for me and won't be for a long time, and I don't want weed anyway. Bad for your lungs.
Rant over.
