Let's talk about Green Stuff (cannabis)
Entry #37.1 April 29, 2026

first the photo. These are flowers I grew in the summer of 2014 in the front of my parents house. Claude picked best out of four. I grew most of them from seed. I'm good at growing things. Lol
Scott never did a drug. He wanted to be like Deacon Charlie and go his entire life without touching Cigarettes, Drugs or Alcohol. Bryan Scott was willing to strip for an amateur strip contest...which of course he won. By the time Bryan and Bry came around, let's just say he was more open minded. The first time I tried marijuana I was 27. The next thing I tried was a shot of alcohol. I did my first shot the night Obama was announced as the next president. I had never done these things so in typical fashion, I learned everything I could. Next I will show off that knowledge.
Marijuana and hemp are essentially the same plant. It's basically the difference between a purple petunia and a pink petunia. Both are species of the cannabis plant. The hemp variety produces the legally required definition of less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. Marijuana is any plant that produces more. The plants look basically identical and grow basically identically. They call it a weed because you could literally throw a seed in the crack of a sidewalk and it would grow. It just wants to grow. There is a female plant and a male plant. The male plant grows little ball sacks of pollen underneath its stems. When the male plants are mature enough, the ball sacks bust open and the pollen is released and fertilizes the female plants. The female plants stop focusing on producing buds and start developing seeds. This is why good cannabis has no seeds. The growers pay attention and get rid of the male plants before they can release their pollen. That way the female plants just produce bigger and bigger buds and more and more THC.
The legal landscape
Hemp is legal in all 50 states because of the 2018 Farm Bill, championed by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and signed into law by President Trump. The predominant chemical produced by hemp is called CBD. It is found in the hemp variety and marijuana variety of the cannabis plant. It is a cannabinoid. It is not psychoactive. It is close in composition to THC and through scientific processes, it can be changed into forms of THC. These forms of THC can be not as strong, such as Delta-8 THC, about 50% as strong as Delta 9 THC which is the illegal component that is found in higher volumes in the marijuana plant. Because Delta nine is the only thing that is technically illegal, these other forms can be sold openly. One of the forms is called THCP, which can be found in small amounts in the cannabis plant naturally. But through scientific processes we can make CBD into a larger quantity of THCP. THCP binds to your receptors up to 33 times more strongly than Delta 9 in lab studies, and in real-world use feels several times stronger. A 2 mg THCP gummy can hit harder than a 10 mg Delta 9 gummy. It is what my gummies are made out of. And they are legal.
So we have legalized hemp and we can change it's CBD into a form that is more psychoactive than regular marijuana THC. Tell me how much sense any of this makes. So the stronger thing is legal and the weaker thing is illegal.
The company that I buy my gummies from has shipping restrictions. You cannot ship hemp derived THC products to certain states. Like Hawaii has illegalized THCA. Usually it comes out that states where normal marijuana is legalized outlaw certain hemp products so they don't cause competition for their legal marijuana industry. (which they get all the tax money for.)
Last November, they slipped a provision into a government funding bill β Section 781 β that would make these stronger hemp derived THC products illegal. Hemp products would be limited to 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container, which would wipe out almost the entire industry. But Nancy Mace of South Carolina sponsored the American Hemp Protection Act, co-sponsored by Thomas Massie of Kentucky, that would repeal it. The new restriction is not set to go into effect until November 12, 2026. So we have time. Trump himself is now publicly asking Congress to save hemp. The fight is on.
In my opinion we should just legalize all of it. It's a fucking plant. A slightly different variety of the same thing. My knowledge of this situation goes deeper than this. But we will leave it here for nowβ¦
