KSLA article

quote:

BATON ROUGE, La. (WVUE) - State lawmakers advanced a bill which would ban consumable THC products in the state.

THC (or Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a substance found in hemp which can provide a “high” when consumed.

In a 7 to 5 vote, the House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice advanced SB237 sponsored by Sen. Thomas Pressly (R-Shreveport).

Pressly argued the bill will help keep children from consuming the hemp products containing THC. Consumable hemp products are currently legal in Louisiana for adults.

Congress made hemp federally legal through the 2018 Farm Bill.

Business owners testified the bill punishes law-abiding businesses, will push customers to the black market and cost Louisiana jobs.

It will need to pass the full House of Representatives before landing on the governor’s desk.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates and watch Fox 8 at 4 and 5.

Nothing better than the freedom loving republicans that just let the people do what they want.

I bet if you asked him to sponsor a bill banning alcohol he would laugh in your face and call you insane.

More small government republicans fricking up a 40 million dollar industry in this state.


It’s so hard to defend this place sometimes. You’d think a representative in fricking Shreveport would have a lot more important shite to do given there’s absolutely nothing positive happening up there.

I am in Alabama and just ordered some easy hemp company sparkling water today. It has 3 mg of THC. I’m truly shocked that I can buy this in Alabama.

we'd respect you more if you just admitted the liquor lobby paid you off shite bag

always kind of amazes me how people get so worked up over the presidential race but largely don't care about career politicians that use their office mostly for personal gain.

You should be able to buy THC at any time, in any state.

Well over half of the population supports legalization; yet here we are going backwards. If this doesn't show you that politicians don't actually represent the people, nothing will.
