We’re all mad. Please remember our posting guidelines especially Commandment 1&2.
Standing next to a table piled with largely unregulated products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids, including beverages and gummies, Newsom expressed disgust that they’re now widely sold at grocery stores, gas stations and convenience stores. Hemp-derived THC-infused sparkling water, he lamented, can be found—including by minors—alongside more benign products like La Croix.
“It’s a disgrace and it’s a shame,” the governor said, “and the industry bears full responsibility for not policing itself, for the proliferation of these intoxicating products that are hurting our children.”
When has ‘the industry policing itself’ ever worked? It should be policy or have been considered before implementing the marijuana law in the first place. Earmark money set aside for regulatory needs. Enforce labels. Beer isn’t sold next to the soda in the same fridge usually. Same should be for like THC candies etc.
Seeing Lemmy act like he’s banning weed… Y’all suck. Hemp products in California are solely to get around the state required testing and other regulations. Plus they aren’t taxed the same way, which is a big part of the fucking sell on legal weed.
No state with legal weed should need untested hemp-derived products. Just go to a dispo and get something that you know what’s in it.
Dude, it’s nigh-impossible to find cannabis that’s 1:1 CBD:THC; let alone cannabis that’s not astronomic levels of THC. Type2 hemp flower fits the niche almost perfectly, but now that fuckface is going to make that illegal.
I don’t really want to get blitzed and I’m not really a fan of stoner culture even though I live in socal and literally surf and code next to many of them. But the CBD +lowTHC helps me tame anxiety and manage some other mental health shit that interferes with my best life.
Fuck this dude. The day after the supreme court ruled that cities can outlaw homelessness, he leveraged the ruling in CA. This is the type of shit you get from a auper-lib governor, in a super-lib state. To be clear: fuuuuuck the republicans, but dems aren’t actually trying to do the shit they represent either. I’m not here with some alternative that will fix our shit real soon, but CA is a good example of the dems having all the power, and still working against the people.
Gavin newsome can fuck right off. First to approve speed cameras in the state and now this.
Fuck these fascists.
THC has made my PTSD bearable. Why are kids told to stay away? I didn’t touch weed til 23, and it changed my life. I should have been high my entire teens,life would have been more manageable. Newsom can eat a bag of cow crap. People like him REQUIRE replacement.
Kids are told to stay away because THC, like most drugs, impacts brain development 😅
Once you’re 25 your brain is generally considered fully developed. The closer you get to that point the less of an issue it is, but kids shouldn’t be smoking weed all the time, it can impair your brain’s development.
Yup. Several of the heavy smokers I met in high school ended up “perma-fried” it’s not a guarantee, but it was may more than 1/100.
Same goes for people who really made drinking a part of their identity in HS and college. It’s not unique to drugs/alcohol, but they are the most talked about substances that can have adverse effects on a developing brain, and are already controlled substances.
Fun fact: the “brain is fully developed at 25” thing that everyone refers to is just completely wrong. The study that is being is referenced when it got brought up wasn’t even looking for that. They were studying maturity in people from kindergarten to age 25 and found that people mature at vastly different rates: with some children being more developed than some adults. The 25 number was an arbitrary stopping point because they didn’t want to study people for their whole lives.
Now that being said, kids shouldn’t smoke or drink. But not because of a misunderstood 20 year old study
Huh, interesting. I thought it was with respect to the development of the frontol lobe and your ability to evaluate risk vs reward, I must have sort of mixed “facts” I learned at some point
Thanks for correcting me! ☺️
Edit: this seems like a good source if someone is interested to know more, scishow is very well researched and really good at communicating that research
