How Hemp Got Free but Shackled

Hemp may have been ripped from the Controlled Substances Act in 2018, but freedom was only on paper. Farmers are still shackled by THC math, the DEA’s shadow rules, and FDA’s silence on CBD. The loopholes gave rise to delta-8 and other lab-born cannabinoids, sparking a new prohibition panic. The truth is simple: hemp didn’t escape the drug war, it just exposed the absurdity of it all.

Sober but Guilty: The THC DUI Scam

A new UC San Diego study shreds the myth that regular cannabis users are impaired days after smoking. Yet cops, lawmakers, and courts keep pushing THC blood limits that have no science behind them.

Texans Dodge the Ban: Hemp THC Survives Another Round

Texas lawmakers failed for the third time to ban hemp THC, leaving a ten billion dollar industry and fifty thousand jobs intact. Lt. Gov.
