Louisiana may have accidentally legalized THC products. Now officials want to crack down.

In November, John Williams, the top beer lobbyist in Louisiana, sent out a mass email to legislators with an alarming subject line: “Recreational THC is now legal in Louisiana.”
He distributed pictures of gas stations and smoke shops advertising products full of THC -- the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana – many of which hit the shelves after House Speaker Clay Schexnayder ushered through legislation to set up a legal hemp industry in the state. In a followup email, Williams, who opposed the hemp legislation, said the businesses selling the THC-laden products play by a looser set of rules than alcohol retailers.
quote:
Schexnayder’s 2022 bill set up an “adult-use” market for consumable products made from hemp. Schexnayder assured fellow legislators, many of whom oppose legal recreational marijuana, that his legislation wouldn’t give people access to products that get them high.
quote:
It is now easier than ever for adults to get access to gummies and other products that get them high. That’s largely because the products contain Delta 8 THC, a compound from the cannabis plant that is slightly different from the Delta 9 THC that defines marijuana.
quote:
Now, regulators and lawmakers are trying to unring the bell and crack down on a massive proliferation of THC-laden products that have become widely and legally available.

Been in the role for nearly 17 years. I would not say that the beer world has progressed under his "leadership".

Good thing crippling alcoholism is rarely heard of in Louisiana.

I mean they essentially legalized it with the new medical marijuana expansion. You basically just go to one of the providers and say I have a cough "okay here is your script." It's like when the pharmacists would write the "scripts" for alcohol during prohibition.

Well, in Florida it’s not a problem. I would think someone in Louisiana wanted a kickback and didn’t get it. Follow the money.

I bet they hate it when they accidentally give you too much freedom.

This is Louisiana.
All they want is to be gate keepers, pick winners and losers, and find customers for sheriffs prisons.

It’s after seeing stupidity like this with our legislators that I sometimes wish we had a system like Switzerland where legislators only write legislation and the voters decide whether it passes or not. Voters can also propose their own referendums with enough support. If we had that here we’d have had legalized most substances decades ago.
