I don’t support over regulation and taxation and believe everyone should be able to grow this plant in their back yard at some level but I call a spade a spade. To start let’s please stop using the word “intoxicating hemp” it is an oxymoron by any definition. Stay quiet if you can’t tell me the difference between intoxicating hemp and the cannabis I’m over regulated and over taxed growing in my state licensed facility. For the record I’m pro industrial hemp, pro home grows and have no issues with non psychoactive cannabinoids derived from hemp (mostly as byproducts). I also think the total thc should be raised to 1% so farmers don’t loose crops. I think they should be able and have to sell cannabinoids to cannabis licensed production and not shady retail smoke shops. Or let me sell my “weed” like any other commodity and stop over regulating and taxing the state operators. Here is most of the letter I wrote to our senators earlier this year during legislative session that explains it from my perspective. It’s all cannabis sativa with different varieties or cultivars that have different chemical composition (chemotype), morphology and therefore different intended uses. Historically hemp has been bred and grown primarily for seed, fiber and textiles while “Marijuana” has been bred and grown for its psychoactive and non-psychoactive medicinal properties. With the discovery of non psychoactive cannabinoids like Cbd, Cbg and others, the word hemp was more or less redefined as cannabis containing less than .3 thc (non psychoactive) and not defined by its intended use or purpose. The 2018 farm bill was intended to draw a clear line between “Hemp” and “Marijuana” and on one side is psychoactive and the other side non-psychoactive. The current thca or “intoxicating hemp” loop hole isn’t a loop hole at all but more or less a lack of understanding that led to a lack of enforcement.
