I’m currently offering tinctures of California poppy, echinacea, ginger, lemon balm, skullcap, and St. John’s wort. Coming soon: passionflower, nettles, wood betony, and New England aster. All tinctures are made with fresh (undried) herbs which are wildcrafted or organically grown.

I’m branching out… by returning to my roots. Tinctures were a part of my repertoire for decades before CBD! I graduated from herb school in 1992, and have been making tinctures ever since. With the hemp ban looming on the horizon (63 days away now), I figured it was time to diversify!

The ban affects much more than intoxicating THC products. It criminalizes most non-intoxicating CBD products as well.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The article is talking about legislation which bans full spectrum CBD products (and other hemp products), which contain trace amounts of THC.

010

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

We are. Under the new legislation, all full spectrum CBD products will become federally illegal Schedule 1 drugs, even though they are not intoxicating.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It’s not practical and would be WAY more expensive to make CBD products using high-THC cannabis (AKA marijuana). Most cultivars contain very little CBD.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

States with legalized cannabis will be affected too. Full spectrum CBD products will vanish from store shelves. Dispensaries don’t usually carry many CBD products. People who rely on these to manage health conditions will be forced go back on meds w/ much more significant risks and side effects.

You don’t think hemp has health benefits? Science certainly disagrees with you. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov?term=Cannabi...

The ban was pushed back to December 12th, so you have a little more time.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Why do you want to make it harder for people to get non-intoxicating full spectrum CBD products? These are not widely available in dispensaries, and now Californians can’t get them online. Many are now struggling to find products they need to manage health conditions like epilepsy and chronic pain.

022

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Many dispensaries don’t carry a good selection of CBD products (though I expect the market would adjust). And several states still don’t have legal cannabis, so there are no dispensaries to shop at.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Yes, there is lots of garbage on the market. That doesn’t mean we should ban the good stuff.

110

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I’m all for regulating the sketchy intoxicating products, but the ban is much too broad and bans many CBD products people rely on to manage chronic health conditions.

000

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

“Toxic hemp”? What about non-intoxicating, naturally produced CBD products? What’s so toxic about a CBD salve for arthritis? Most of these will be Schedule 1 drugs when the ban kicks in.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

What about non-intoxicating full spectrum CBD products like CBD salves for arthritis? These will also be criminalized under the hemp ban and will be more illegal than cocaine. The ban is very broad and covers a lot more than sketchy intoxicating products.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

“Fake weed” and full spectrum CBD are completely different. I believe we need regulation of hemp products, but it shouldn’t include an outright ban of non-intoxicating full spectrum CBD products.

000

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I can’t read the article (paywall), but millions of Americans rely on non-intoxicating full spectrum CBD to manage health conditions. Not everyone is chasing a high.

011

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Most people don’t want pesticides in their CBD products. Also, many farmers want to avoid pesticide use so they don’t harm wildlife or the environment.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Thank you! I’ve seen this mistake a bunch of times on social media.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

How many milligrams of THC did you take? If your gummy was 20:1, the dose of THC may have been too low to have an obvious effect. Generally, CBD will not have an immediately noticeable effect. For anxiety, it will often have a moderating effect when taken daily, but a single dose will not do much.

011

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

No, the ban has not been delayed by a month. The Senate voted for the 1-month delay, but it still needs to be approved by the House and signed by the president.

Hemp is not the male plant. In the US, hemp is currently defined as cannabis containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC (this definition is set to change in November). CBD products are generally made with the flowers of the female plant.

000

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Would you be willing to share your chart? I’ve spent hours trying to read state and federal statutes. It’s mind-numbing. What I’d really like to know: which states can I not ship full spectrum CBD to? I believe only Alabama and California explicitly forbid shipping into the state.

010

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Gotcha. I’m not familiar with Canada’s hemp laws.

100

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Are you in the US? The products I pictured are federally legal, but some states have more restrictive laws.

100

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Here’s a couple of examples: 15mg of D9 per gummy and 50mg of D8 per gummy.

000

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

There are tons of very intoxicating hemp products available - not in all states though.

210

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Plenty of people smoke hemp, but not to get high. Except for THCa flower, which is technically legal through a loophole (but not for long).

010

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

The new law criminalizes any hemp product containing more than 0.4mg of total THC per container (not per serving).

121

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Nope! The federal law only address D9-THC.

120

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

There are currently no legal limits for delta-8. The 0.3% cutoff is just for delta-9.

200

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Maybe the definition of hemp is different in the UK. In the US, hemp is currently defined as cannabis sativa with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. That definition is set to change in November, though. The hemp I use in my products is not grown close together.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

All hemp contains trace amount of THC, and hemp can be processed in a lab to produce intoxicating products.

200

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Hemp IS cannabis; the latin name for hemp is cannabis sativa. All hemp is cannabis, but not all cannabis is hemp. All hemp contains THC (except for a GMO version developed a few years ago which has never been grown commercially, AFAIK).

I've been waiting for this bill to be introduced for weeks, and it's finally here! Reps. Andy Barr (R-KY) and Angie Craig (D-MN) have introduced the bipartisan Lawful Hemp Protection Act, which would create regulations for CBD and hemp products and would STOP the hemp ban.

Damn, that sucks. When I started my CBD business in 2019, I tried to open a business account at the local bank we had used for decades. When I told them it was a CBD business, they said “nope”. Luckily the credit unions here in Vermont are hemp-friendly (so far).

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Lots of misinformation here! 1. All hemp contains small amounts of THC. 2. Hemp will not kill you if you smoke it. 3. CBD products made with hemp are made with the female plant, not the male plant. All cannabinoids are concentrated in the flowers of the female plant.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% THC are federally legal (until this November). If a gummy is heavy enough, it can contain an intoxicating amount of delta-9 THC. Or, it could contain delta-8 THC, which is chemically converted from CBD isolate. It’s almost as intoxicating as D9.

021

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

That gummy definitely had more than CBD in it. It’s shocking how often people are sold something they are led to believe contains just CBD, but has intoxicating cannabinoids also.

Primal Botanical @primalbotanical.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

It’s not just synthetics that will be banned under the new legislation. It’s any product containing more than 0.4mg of total THC per container (not per serving). This includes all non-intoxicating full spectrum CBD products, even topicals.
