Gub’ment already gets plenty of tax dollars from all the businesses and licensing of the cannabis industry. They are pushing hemp to be textiles only (aside from CBD) which is why they’re starting to ban ALL conversions.
The day will come people realize they lost to the big money. The laws giving you home grow? Enjoy your peace while you can. Seriously. We live in a limited Era and are squandering it trying to wait out rules. If you got lucky enough to get the rules in your favor. Run with that shit, because the good run is gonna change. See Colorados medical thc concentrates rules lol

Why would you guys have expected any differently than this?
Every state that legalized weed, in the whole country, instituted: age limits, quantity limits, special taxes, strict licensing requirements.
What would lead you to think that any states are going to just randomly decide to let d8 be sold without any of these things?
It being allowed ever was just the result of the ignorance of lawmakers. It will not continue, and i doubt even one state will allow current state of affairs to continue past year’s end.
