I saw $20 ozs advertized in Oregon this week. It's harvest time. Everyone can grow their own up to 4 plants per property. Quality has never been better (IDK anything about the $20/oz quality tho). Top quality weed used to be $375-$420/oz during prohibition on the West Coast.

Right, it would ban and criminalize virtually all hemp-derived products currently on the market. Incredibly reckless to destroy a growing industry with more than 300,000 workers with no hearings or debate of any kind in Congress.

Fun fact: big alcohol (distributors) have roots in organized crime. When prohibition ended, some of the bootleg networks and mobsters went "legit" by simply converting their supply chains. It's one of the few segments where you have to use a distributor in order to sell to retail.
