The world’s No. 1 bro-caster, who has expressed some buyer’s remorse over his endorsement of Trump, stood directly behind the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office signing an executive order to ease restrictions on medical research and treatments using psychedelic drugs.

    This, and accidentally legalizing hemp weed are possibly the only positive things to come out of this whole debacle

      no one tell him about November

      https://wakenbakery.net/november-2026-hemp-ban-thc-products/

      In November 2025, Congress passed H.R. 5371, which rewrites the federal definition of hemp to use total THC instead of just delta-9. This means THCA — which converts to delta-9 when heated — now counts toward the legal threshold. The law also caps finished products at just 0.4mg total THC per container, which would make even a single 5mg gummy illegal.

      What Products Are Affected?

      • THCA flower — Raw hemp flower that converts to THC when smoked or vaped. Sales have surged 340% since 2024.
      • Delta-8 and delta-10 THC products — The gas station gummies and vapes that exploded in popularity.
      • Hemp-derived delta-9 gummies and edibles — The legal edibles sold at cannabis cafes and online.
      • HHC products — Synthesized from hemp-derived CBD.
      • THC beverages — Infused seltzers, coffees, and lemonades.

      This and reducing marijuana to Schedule III are two popular policies that Democrats are fucking stupid for passing up. If Democrats ever regain power, I do hope this might motivate the party to fully legalize marijuana, psychedelics, and other low-risk drugs like amphetamines.

        If Democrats rescheduled marijuana, they wouldn’t be able to use the issue to win future elections. I love how Biden waited until last minute to demand the rescheduling of marijuana. If he had done it any sooner, his attempt might have been successful.

        Yea, but doesn’t go into effect until November. THCA flower is already banned, but edibles and THCA carts are still legal until then. I’m keeping hope that something will happen before though.
