"What would be the point of ruining their foreshortened little lives if they were too high to suffer for our amusement?"

    I saw a conspiracy theory that they're doing this to kill all the small businesses that got a head start on weed then they'll legalize it fully federally right before the 2026 election. That way big business gets more market share and people vote Republican. I don't think it's true, I think Republicans just hate us, but I can hope

    I think that was already the case, but I believe this closed the “concentrated hemp” loophole

    It's always (well, since 1937 or 1970, depending on how you wanna look at it) been federally illegal. Several states are actively breaking federal law and allow for sales in various forms. They've basically been left alone, but at any point the federal government could kick in the door of every "legal" Cannabis shop.

    I believe the thing they're doing now is closing a loophole around growing low-THC plants.

    Delta 9 is still illegal either way. This would undo a thing Biden did which made CBD and other Cannaboids federally legal. It's mainly a harm reduction thing.

    The 2018 farm bill was a piece of Trump legislation, it was a money thing.
