If Pete Buttigieg were still DOT Secretary you and GOP would be demanding his immediate resignation.

A federal ban on hemp products would be devastating for small businesses and jobs in Minnesota and across the country. I am fighting for a bipartisan fix to protect our state’s hemp industry.

There are two hemp bans, and most people have only heard about one.
November 12: fully synthetic cannabinoids, the kind the plant can't make, lose their legal status.
December 11: a federal cap of 0.4 mg per container takes effect. That is small enough to hit the natural plant, most full-spectrum CBD, and the gummy on your nightstand.
Congress is not out of options. Eight bills are sitting in committee right now:
• 1 repeals the ban
• 2 delay it to 2028, with 40 House cosponsors from both parties
• 5 replace it with real rules: 21 and up, lab testing, honest labels, nothing aimed at kids
Most of them have Republicans and Democrats signed on together. Not one has gotten a committee vote.
AHAA is hemp farmers, shop owners, distributors, brand owners, and the people who rely on them, in nine state chapters, asking Congress for one thing: regulate it, don't eliminate it.

A blue wave in Texas = almost immediately filing cannabis legalization bills.
NEW: Texas lawmakers have already begun prefiling bills to legalize recreational marijuana, expand medical cannabis access and establish THC drug testing employment protections for the 2027 session following last week's midterm elections.

.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”
