Hemp products that contain THC could be made illegal nationwide - as soon as next week - as Mitch McConnell uses the government shut down as leverage.

Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less. Subject matter appropriate! If you love true crime where you root for the criminals, this one’s for you. 📚👀

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt).
Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders /
envelopes.

Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.

Our Texan customers are not criminals, and neither are we — unless Texas makes us criminals.
Our co-founder @jimhigdon.bsky.social had the privilege of testifying to the Texas House to save hemp products in Texas. Multiple bills threaten Texans' rights to receive hemp products direct to consumer, making it a felony. This is prohibition, and we're working to prevent that from happening.
