Corny to be hating on Hemp.. some people only have access to Delta 8 or THCA .. stop being elitist
🎉Great news!
Let’s endorse the plant that has up to 30% THC before carboxylation. THCA is not the same. THCA can be made using yeast. Google it!
stop with the ‘no kings’ shit. it’s just another slogan the left currently parakeets because the left is a fucking hivemind cult. your trump hate is actual derangement.
Texas medical does suck but you can get 20mg gummies that are super expensive.
This guy! No thanks! Pass!
Schedule 3 will be a huge win for the black market. If you are worried about hemp products you need to learn how to cultivate a better product.
All I can get is THCa. I need smoke not some privileged prick calling me an asshole.
Miggy appears not to have a clue about how a dispensary operates here.
Trump has said a lot of things he will do that he hasn’t done yet, and many of them will probably never happen so I won’t believe this news until I see it on a docket somewhere.
there is a large amount of republicians that smoke herb bros… just sayin. 95 percent of my republician friends smoke herb. i am pretty sure cannabis hate comes from the far far right. all of my gen x friends smoke or used to smoke. Gen x loves weed my dudes no matter what political views they have.
Dispensaries/big business don’t really want home growers to grow because it reduces their profits in the community. I think to counter profit reductions, they should sell seeds as well as flower.
It’s all about money, man….
Added cannabis/hemp restrictions will only turn people back to legal synthetic CB1 agonists. Gas stations will still sell cb1 agonists, and those synthesized from yeast or petroleum won’t have the same safety or efficacy as the plant but those that will buy the marketing of “pass a drug test” won’t care.
It’s not legal yet because cannabis is a herb. Not necessarily in the domain of the USDA and not necessarily in the domain of the FDA per big pharma’s campaign to delegitimize herbs for medicinal use. Technically, cannabis as a herb falls into the same category as milk thistle, ginseng, lemon grass, etc. Opening the gate for cannabis as a medicine therefor opens the gate for other herbs to be used to treat conditions and be studied and regulated like pharmaceuticals and in lieu of pharmaceuticals. Hence, the misleading campaign against cannabis herb as a ‘gateway drug’ which is a half truth since the gateway leads to the legitimization of other herbs as drugs which could impact the bottom line of big pharmaceutical companies who are ill-prepared. The issues regarding cannabis legalization and regulation is larger and far more complex then most people realize. I think RFK, Jr knows a great deal about the roadblocks in the way of the alternative medicine(s) industry that is detrimental to public safety as untrained people sell herbs contaminated with lead, etc. to unsuspecting people due to a lack of acknowledgement and regulation of herbs, etc. as medicine.
The THCa "hemp" loophole has provided the only way for me get any kind of decent weed around here. However, I still can’t wait for at least schedule 3 so we all can finally get some better, SAFER weed.
As we know, this loophole also allows for pesticides, heavy metals and other shit to be left in your weed, due to improper or no regulations at all. Some of the THCa weed I’ve gotten in the mail tasted like shit because it hadn’t been flushed, and although it was dried properly, it wasn’t cured. I could tell they skipped the curing so they could get it out the door as quickly as possible. I try curing it myself, but it takes a long time.
That’s what it’s all about now. Because of supply and demand, along with competition, I can see how it’s going to continue to be quantity over quality, but the quality will have to get better with schedule 3 cannabis.
Get facts before applying regulations! Government regulation without speculation.
Hemp is rope, not dope!
Lol😂 political… the other dirty word 😂whatever… put a handle on it and get a grip, right?
You can get fire THC A in Texas. Not sure what y’all are talking about
Tom, do you think you have a conflict of interest?
All I can say is if this administration is going to keep setting the world on fire they better goddamn legalize weed.
I’m against any regulations on both hemp and marijuana. I was supposed to have major surgery 15 years ago and haven’t had to have it because of the hemp products. Also I thought the military parade was a nice way to show how much they are appreciated
I live in Indiana. We went to a dispensary there and will never go back. The taxes were unreal and I tried Michigan and no issues. Illinois politicians want to make money off it too. I’m not feeding libtards.
lol bro out. Miggy you keep lying about your past selling bud…. You really sound like a snitch….
I have a strong feeling Abbott will sit on it and not sign it. THCA is the closest I can easily get, I’m too old to cruise the college campus looking for a plug. But, I don’t plan on waiting for this state to legalize it and I will be moving far from this part of the country. Once Texans find out getting on TCUP means losing their guns, it will flop.
I honestly don’t believe that this trump administration or the dea in general will ever reschedule cannabis because they still make money putting people in jail for cannabis sentences and they want that cheap labor via prisons, also big tobacco, big alcohol and big pharma are still keeping cannabis illegal on federal level because of the profits they still make from keeping cannabis illegal on the federal level. I really hope that someday that the usa government will finally legalize cannabis on the federal level but not anytime soon. The past democratic presidential administrations could of passed stuff long ago but even the obama administration never made cannabis federally legal and they should have smdh. If the dea does reschedule cannabis then it’s a step forward for sure. The controlled substances act needs to be removed and we need a safer drug list act instead. Good show today Thomas and Miggy420 and take care.
Speaking of name that strain genetics… have ya’ll read the recent research report on cannabis bottleneck genetics? Nothing new really, it’s been obvious that ‘wild’ cannabis is no longer due to breeder’s preferences based on consumerism that is not necessarily of the connoisseur type.
Man you guys sure do cry a lot about hemp flower or thca you sound like super butthurt I used to watch you guys all the time and I don’t even want to watch the whole video cuz all you do is cry about thca boohoo
The pen took but a few strokes that only took a moment. That changed not just our country but the world .
If selling things must be taxed. Tax those that seek to profit from it.
Not punish cannabis patients and those who seek to grow and use it for thier own risk or gain.
Only takes a moment, a pen, and the courage to hold that pen.
Well maybe instead of a dispensary open a company that actually makes hemp items maybe spark a trend
Hemp thca allows me cheaper price access. I feel you though
See weed can make you energetic lol. You guys are great but yeah keep it to herb. I think the only way to get this to happen is to become president.
So many jobs loss people arrested over effectively safe beer.
Soon means 3-4 years
Texas is a DICK state so all we have is THCA.
These guys are the worst element of cannabis. Tom literally just said he’d rather have people in non legal states face jail than have the loophole stay open… so sad… So people should face prison, have their children taken away, and their lives ruined so you can get rid of “gas station” weed so you can line your pockets in a limited market? Sickening.
For the millionth time, you two have managed to say thca hemp is not the same as weed and that they are exactly the same in a single podcast 😂.
You two are the actual definition of gas lighting.
So you’d rather have the loophole closed and people face jail for years while it takes YEARS to reschedule and *probably will not be allowed in smokable flower form to many states* just so you can make a profit in your limited market??? You might as well just go work for the DEA.
And shitting on a veteran owned company because he and others like him run a business model you cant compete with in an open market? 😂
I dont work in the hemp industry in any fashion whatsoever. I just believe in REAL freedom, including people like you that want to regulate your way to wealth.
There going to reschedule alright probably to schedule 4 instead of doing away with it altogether.
Never trust a con man
When moon?
I have a question. Maybe two.
After Chevron deference was removed, corporations were no longer able to interpret law, in a court of law, or regulations using their “experts” or paid for third party experts to make their claims, correct?
Chevron deference allowed for the interpretation of law and regs, and now that it’s gone you have to stick to the letter of the law.. correct?
If that’s the case, the letter of the 2018 farm bill law is what’s allowed hemp cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers to conduct business, the letter of the law, regardless that it’s ambiguous, cannabis rich hemp commerce is allowed because the letter of the 2018 farm bill is written the way it’s written.
Also, regardless that you and others don’t like it.
I’m more neutral when it comes to legal and illegal issues, only because it’s obvious this whole system we participate in is fixed, full of corruption, and will never change. I also don’t see hemp as competition for my mj business.
I think the best solutions for both sides would be to change THC levels to 3% without it being total thc, so that all cannabis qualifies as hemp, allowing taxes to be reduced, regs to be relaxed, and interstate commerce to begin asap.
But that’s not beneficial for the state. So that won’t happen.
Therefore rescheduling to 3 would be the best bet, it would remove 280e, allow for interstate commerce between legalized recreational states, and mmj concoctions would actually be mmj produced by pharma. Which I don’t like, but the govs gotta throw them a bone.
Thomas is preaching the gospel today. Hemp needs to get out of the way.
Even if it gets re-scheduled, anyone who partakes will still be subject to arrest under the antiquated state laws regarding impaired driving. Those state laws are all linked to NHTSA, etc so it’s back to square-one being under the thumb of a FEDERAL administrative regulatory entity, just like with DEA. In fact, you’re MORE likely to get popped for driving while impaired (due to the length of time you test hot for THC ) than you are to get charged by the feds for possession with intent, tax stamp violation, etc.
Sb3 is a joke. Follow the money. Big alcohol and the one medical company in Texas donated ALOT OF MONEY TO DAN PATRICK.
You can tell these guys have a bias when they say hemp is not great weed. Well I happen to have a know on a medical marijuana facilities and with most it’s the SAME identical plants being used for the final product. It’s just how it’s tested and what license it’s under. Turns out hemp is cannabis and marijuana is cannabis and all this back and forth is just nonsense. They just need to integrate the two industries as it’s a multi billion dollar industry that could care less about anyones legal opinions. The blitzkrieg on the industry is done and conquered already.
High tom
High miggy
Thanks for you passion Tom! Thanks for all the info and a good hang guys!
rescheduling is recriminalizing. not "legalization" people STILL GO TO PRISON under regulation.
besides bombing the shit out of poor brown people around the word, what is the government actually good at?
Stop blaming it on the hemp industry. They didn’t hold you back the government is holding you back.
Tom you say the government is bad at regulating drugs and I agree with you but I don’t know how in the next breath you say the government should regulate cannabis. The only reason you feel that way is because you want to make money on it. You advocate for a limited number of businesses so that people can make money and customers are forced to overpay.

A Loophole will never satisfy my desire for non-loophole legalization.
If there is even a 1% chance you can have 1g of flower taken away by a cop, then I’m not happy. (Unless it was stolen)
