This to me just totally seems like something they would do.
The drug war is a disaster in itself that was started by the deep state in order to wage war on Americans, anyway. Like every deep state plan they phrase it as something that's for our own good. After decades of drug war, overdoses are at an all-time high, drug-use is at an all-time high, deep state was flooding inner cities with crack, using drugs as pretext for violation of 2A, as well as excessive and seizure and civil asset forfeiture. I could go on at length about this but that's what my assessment of what the plan is.
Trump said in office that if congress gave him a bill to legalize cannabis he'd sign off on it, but otherwise took no real action. As someone who works in legal cannabis I was very pleased with how much he left us alone at the state level and only intervened in operations that trafficked stuff into or out of their respective legalized states, therefore breaking the laws of the states that legalized it and infringing on the sovereignty of states that didn't.
Now the deep state is trying to sell conservatives on more drug war by hyping up military intervention against the cartels. Was that ever necessary when Trump was in office? We don't need another long drawn out expensive foreign military intervention, he had a great relationship with the president of Mexico and was working with him to clean up corruption!
But I think the deep state will try this, give a too-little-too-late concession (they've already lost the optics war for the most part and now just appear brazenly tyrannical) on cannabis legalization, and have their controlled op conservative mouthpieces really step up the attacks on cannabis, so it drives the liberty minded people and moderates away from conservatives and back towards Dems.
And it's really fucking funny seeing all these conservatives/GOP who for the last few years were ranting and raving about tyrannical government and appearing to be the "party of liberty" jumping back on the prohibition train and speaking out against cannabis.
God damn I hate RINOs. If it weren't for Trump I would probably vote libertarian, except the Libertarian party is also fundamentally broken.
FWIW there's a company in Oregon who sells CBD for great price. It comes with all the testing paperwork too and generally I rated this CBD transaction very high. Took about 3 days to get to my part of the country. This page includes a variety of incredibly priced, well documented Hemp products: https://laurelcrest.com/bulk-ingredients/
They mainly sell Business to Business but I was able to purchase 30 grams of isolate for 75$ for "R&D" with no Business information required.
Well worth it given that other websites with similar levels of documentation run at $120 for 20g https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/products/all-products/bulk-cbd-isolate-thc-free
Edit: 30g of CBD would make 30,000mg Tincture. The 1500mg tincture costs 40 making 20 would equal 800 worth of tincture. So 75$ for 30mg of cbd Isolate would make 800$ worth of tincture
Thanks for the information. I'll check them out. I've ordered a few times from. https://www.rarecannabinoidco.com/
I have purchased different CBD varieties. This one is much more than $75.00. I got it on sale cheaper than listed price. The price has increased a lot over the past year. https://www.rarecannabinoidco.com/product/thcv-uplift-tincture/
On my last order I got gummy samples and they taste bitter and disgusting. I prefer the natural green taste of CBD instead of flavors. I'm not an expert and would like to learn more.
