      The upshot is that although recreational marijuana use is allowed in only 24 states and Washington, D.C., people anywhere in the U.S. can get intoxicated on hemp-derived THC without breaking federal law. These hemp-based highs are every bit as potent as those derived from the marijuana available in legalization states. I know this because I’ve tried recreational pot in California and Colorado, as well as 11 different hemp-derived intoxicants legally available here in North Carolina. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are indistinguishable in effect. In other words, six years ago, Congress inadvertently legalized weed across the entire United States.

      I have to try it now to actually compare.

        How I know the author hasn’t tried either product.

        I use eight horses hemp, flow gardens, hoku seed company, holy city hemp, and there are plenty more. I’m in Texas. I have a subscription from hoku that send an ounce to my mailbox every month.

          I wonder how much a cut they’re sending abbot and the rest of the conservatives to keep that loophole from closing.
