Wow, Go Florida! I wonder if they will be able to use it? As here in Missouri the Cannabis Tax goes to VA but Vets don’t get respect at the VA for cannabis use!

Did the DEA rig marijuana rescheduling process?
Strange happenings in trying to reschedule. Not too big a surprise!
Suspicions are rising that the DEA may have rigged the marijuana rescheduling process.
Public documents suggest the DEA may have weighted the process to reject moving marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3. Key points include:
* The DEA considered 163 applicants but selected only 25 based on unknown criteria.
* Requests from New York and Colorado officials to participate were rejected.
* The DEA appeared to support almost a dozen opponents of rescheduling.
A lawsuit has been filed by a group of doctors to compel the DEA to redo its witness selection or explain its actions.

Missouri Bans Cannaboids not within their Cannabis Regulation to prepare for Schedule III.
With straight up lies, Missouri sets up cannabis for roll into Schedule III – When it becomes Pharmacy ONLY Cannabis. Missouri will declare (Again) they already have a Handle on it. Cannabis is NOT legal, only Regulated. We need to fight for it to be legal as its SAFE. It’s NOT Toxic, but too many out there pretend it is so the Government can tell you how to handle a vegetable, and flower they call a deadly toxic drug.
“Consumption of psychoactive cannabis products puts individuals at risk for poisoning, unintended intoxication, contaminants and byproduct effects on the body, impaired driving, and more.”
Psychedelic Churches and Outlaw Churches
In my search on cannabis discussions and study of cannabis faithful I ran into Mike Marinacci who has been doing studies the same and has a book he wrote Psychedelic Cults and Outlaw Churches: LSD, Cannabis, and Spiritual Sacraments in Underground America – He wrote this book which includes some churches I am affiliated with such a THCMinistries and The Healing Church. He describes and walks though rituals, pratices and their legal battles.
He also was in a Talk about it a Harvard this year as well.

Missouri Bill to put all cannabis products in DHHS Hands.
Republican State Representative Kurtis Gregory from Marshall, Missouri, has introduced a bill to regulate the sale of delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products. The products, which are used to give people a high, are derived from hemp and are legal under federal law. While some stores and vendors have imposed age restrictions of 21 and up, there is no state or federal regulation of these products. Gregory’s bill would task the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services with regulating these products and require the products to be sold at DHSS-licensed dispensaries. While critics worry that regulating the industry under the umbrella of DHSS would create a “marijuana monopoly”, Gregory’s bill is gaining support from many quarters, including delta-8 businesses, law enforcement, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The bill itself locks down “any intoxicating” cannaboid and makes it so it’s ONLY able to be sold in Cannabis Dispensaries. This will harm the Hemp Industry for sure. If you notice, dispensaries are already selling “Hemp” products as well, high in THC-A but low in THC 9 – the regulated content. You maybe just buying all your hemp products at the Missouri regulated shops in this case.

Recreation Sales In MO Start up!
Dispensaries in Missouri have began to get approval to sell cannabis to Adults. As Amendment 3 made it legal for adults over 21 to have to 3 ounces of cannabis on hand of course can’t miss out on this time in history right? So I stopped by GreenLight Cannabis in Independence Missouri and picked up a pre-roll and a 1/8th! Seemed pretty good and reasonable priced.
I may shift to cover more cannabis so you all know what is good in the Cannabis scene in Missouri. I have heard some shady business from these big cannabis producers. I think it would be great to weed out and focus on the best and worst of what we have around our state. Give customers a better idea.

Missourians NEED to VOTE “NO” – On Recreational Marijuana – Amendment 3
Amendment 3 to make Marijuana Recreational is on the ballot. Sadly many will see it as a great thing and “Making Cannabis legal” it does NOT do such a thing. It really just shuffles prohibition around so adults can “legally” carry more. No protections if you get up and drive the next day or month! The THC will still be in your blood when you get in an accident, and it will go towards you – even if not your fault. No considerations of that are taken in.
This regulation really only goes to assist in the moving the Cannabis profits to a system they can try and regulate.
Expunging past offenses get us NO WHERE as it only moves your offenses to a system “physically and electronically segregated“!
Costs on cannabis go up, taxed to add 6% more and another 3% if the locality it’s in wants in too.
Punishment for having this SAFE plant get added – it is safe as FOOD, in fact, is a superfood! Even though maybe medical necessary and is safe penalties get ADDED! – “Purposefully possessing amounts in excess of twice the legal limit shall be punishable by imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of up to two thousand dollars as an infraction under applicable law.”
Another makes a fine for making concentrate in your home! What if this is medically needed? You’ll have to not DIY and take it commercial instead! “$1000 FINE FOR PRODUCING CONCENTRATES IN YOUR HOME“
This isn’t real legalization, its a total shift for the dispensary business and NOT in favor of the cannabis consumer. A Fellow advocate breaks it down much better detail and links to the details of the law he made for the state. We need to free cannabis, restore it back to the time before 1937 when it was a free commodity.

HempMyLife comments:
I know from efforts in my community that Cannabis can be checked with a Spectrometer. It appears now we’ve got a hand held portable
Raman spectrometer that can check your Cannabis for THC now. It used to be a big machine that could do it in a lab. Now you can bring it with you!
I think this is a good thing for the part that we’ve had so many people trying to move cannabis CBD/Hemp products and getting nailed and detained as they can’t figure out it’s not ‘Marijuana’ (0.03< THC really only difference). They are both a superfood and amazing for you. If the feds will allow the ‘Hemp’ variety the be used while we’re sorting the medical laws we should be able to access it. Hopefully this helps that plight.
