    People will just order online and it will only hurt local business. Real smart.

    This is what you get when you vote for Republicans. Less freedom.

    I thought Republicans didn’t like regulations and more laws… 🤔

    Plants are already limited in dry flowers to no more than some 30 ~ 35 % maybe. So at least with those it’s easy enough to understand less noble molecules is synonymous of more extra stuff, including contaminants. Now imagine if indu$trrial…

    Just like alcohol in the Temperance Movement era a transition occured in society despite its double-failed prohibition: the drinking glass. E.G. before it was OKay to drink directly from a 40 oz bottle, but socialization modified the consumption method & associated ritual – NOT ALCOHOL. The same could be realized with cannabis, except i’d take advantage of Dry Flowers of which the trichome glands are actually collecting their precious cargo on a molecular basis – e.g. read "filtered". So, who wants to ruin such a natural bonus except for incecent greed?…

    THC is poison. Put them out of business. Just ask an emergency room doctor how dangerous marijuana is.

    I got this great idea watching my little niece and nephew- Roblox THC chews!!! There’s a huge untapped market in the 8-12 year old demo, just got to be first to capture this market!!
