[Canniseur: This is a conundrum. The real question is; “Is cannabis sativa really cannabis sativa”? The answer should be obvious, but it’s not. The federal government needs to pull its collective head out its collective nether region and figure out a way to either de-schedule cannabis entirely or move it to at least Schedule 3. It should just be removed. It’s starting to get silly and this article shows why. Attorneys will have a field day.]
When the federal Farm Bill passed last December, it’s doubtful that its crafters — like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — anticipated what we are now witnessing. In convenience stores, smoke shops and truck stops across the country, what is to all outward appearance marijuana bud is freely and openly for sale. To the eyes as well as the nose, this stuff is marijuana: fragrant flower-tops, sticky with resin. There’s only one real difference: it doesn’t get you high.
While it may be rich in the non-intoxicating cannabinoid CBD, it contains less than 0.3% THC — not nearly enough to feel high. This makes it “hemp” under the law — and, its purveyors insist, therefore perfectly legal.
And so far, the courts agree with them.

First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a
quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to
writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my
ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Thank you!
