heather champ @hchamp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Lola, bottom right, is our most recent rescue. She was 8 when we recused her. Found on a street in Texas after being in a puppy mill situation. Tested + for heartworm, and when that was resolved, had 12 teeth pulled because of the neglect. She’s definitely been the longest to come out of her shell. 240

Reposted by heather champDerek Powazek @fraying.bsky.social · 18/07/2026You may have heard various news stories about Cannabis reclassification and proposals to save CBD but it’s important you know that the hemp laws I wrote about here are still law and they still go into effect in November. So if you like CBD, you should tell your reps now. milkbarn.farm/pages/loopholemilkbarn.farmAbout The LoopholeOur farm may have to stop selling our hemp products in November, a casualty in a war between booze sellers and delta-9 drink companies that we weren’t even in. 1146

Reposted by heather champDerek Powazek @fraying.bsky.social · 20/01/2026CBD works better when combined with THC! They both come from the same plant and work on the same receptors. Our first intoxicating tincture has just enough THC to help the CBD melt away stress for a happy, calming effect. Yes, it’s legal, but only until November.milkbarn.farmThe Loophole with THCCBD works better with THC! They both come from the same plant, after all.

Reposted by heather champDerek Powazek @fraying.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Well this is terrifying. I do not sell any THC products, but naturally derived CBD products do contain a small amount of THC. It’s unavoidable, which is why existing law sets a cap at .3% THC. Exceedingly low! But changing it to “absolutely none allowed” would put me and many others out of business.forbes.comSenate Committee Approves Ban On Intoxicating Hemp To Take Effect In One YearA Senate Committee has approved the agriculture spending bill, which would ban intoxicating hemp products, but implementation would be delayed for one year. 158728
