We have 364 days to stop the McConnell hemp shutdown from making all hemp products - including non-intoxicating CBD oils and low-dose THC beverages - into Schedule 1 narcotics.

Hemp products that contain THC could be made illegal nationwide - as soon as next week - as Mitch McConnell uses the government shut down as leverage. Please repost this & share it with everyone you know! Link here to contact your reps: hempsupporter.com/bill/stop-he...

Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less. Subject matter appropriate! If you love true crime where you root for the criminals, this one’s for you. 📚👀
The audiobook cover of James Higdon’s book THE CORNBREAD MAFIA, featuring a snapshot of a shirtless, elderly man with a grizzled white beard smoking a joint.

Last call: Kentucky bars, restaurants prepare to pull hemp beverages from shelves
While single drink sales will be banned at bars and restaurants, you'll still be able to purchase packaged hemp beverages at Kentucky liquor stores and online.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.

Kentucky-based @cornbreadhemp.bsky.social owner @jimhigdon.bsky.social said the company had invested $1 million into a new hemp beverage product that was set to launch in stores this month, but this ban would wipe out that investment and those of others in the hemp industry in Kentucky. #kyga25
