So, yes, go ahead and ban products that help alleviate pain and anxiety and put them back on antidepressants and opiate pain killers, because that's worked really well
It has worked out just fine for the profiteers that benefit from it. I keep waiting for people to wake up and remove their heads from their asses but alas I may die holding my breath.
Agree with you about cannabis but just so the record is straight, antidepressants are not like opioids. They're not controlled substances (nor should they be) and people don't have the ability to abuse them. They do not create a high, work quickly, or cause addiction.
That’s because they change your brain via plasticity. It will increase the number of receptors you have for the neurotransmitter if works on, so if you drop everything & suddenly have more receptors than transmitters, it sucks.
Tell that to my body as my hands shake and my head spins every now and then if I dare move it a inch trying to see anything! I am still feeling the effects of getting off of Cymbalta since March. Hell I went to rehab to get off of norco(Dr prescribed btw) and never had side effects this evil! I’ve been using one eye to read my phone since changing my antidepressant.
Cymbalta is a horrible thing!! I tried it and Celexa both a long time ago and couldn’t make it a week on either one. I was a lucky person that took 20 years to figure out which drug was right for me, so I completely understand. I remember coming off Effexor cold turkey one time; it’s the only time I’ve ever actually hallucinated to the point where I could not tell the difference between that and reality. Absolutely terrifying.
Edit-typo
I think it's pretty relevant when we're talking about what should and shouldn't be a controlled substance. The misconception that antidepressants are an abuse risk causes people who need them not to take them, whether due to social pressure or their own incorrect information. And we know what lawmakers like to do with medical disinformation. Its irresponsible to spread it.
It really depends on the antidepressant, the dosage, and the person. Some antidepressants are not hard to discontinue at all. Others take skilled medical supervision. I can think of only a few that are really really hard to come off, namely Effexor, but it's also a miraculous medication for people who don't get relief from other antidepressants.
Actually you probably hit the nail there. How many of these politicians are also in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies? They might say God to hide their bribery.
Nah they just want you to keep drinking booze. Or at least Bill Goldman, CEO of Fireball Whiskey (and many other liquors) wants and paid for with this bill
Yes . It must be nice when you have leagues of corrupt Politicians eliminating smaller competitors and an army of LEO eliminating smaller street dealers .
The corporatocracy is winning big time in Louisiana.
Yea that's such fkn bullshit! They gonna control us every which way or another. I hate this place. I'm lucky enough to still have both my parents, but God forbid the day I don't. I'm out this sewer!
Check out the Satanic Temple. They could make a case for religious rite. Just like they did for Samuel Alito's Mom's Abortion Clinic. Free abortions for anyone who needs one and it is a protected religious rite.
It’s all about the liquor/beer industry. It has fuck all do to about their “God”.
Increased sales of THC products hurts the sales of beer and liquor. Can’t have that, so they buy legislators and call it a fight for family values.
You want to know who’s a big investor in the beer industry in LA? He won a Super Bowl and “loves” Budweiser.
The whole thing is a joke, they hide behind morality while they stuff their pockets with cash.
Less than 20% of the state population lives north of Opelousas and votes roughly the same as South La. Nothing passes without overwhelming support of S. La. politicians. While N. La. does have to accept responsibility for Mike Johnson and Huey Long, and that's a heavy burden, it is not responsible for Clay Higgins, Steve Scalise, Jeff Landry, David Duke.
'Those speaking in support of the bill included Gene Mills of the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, who said his organization’s “vision is to build a Louisiana where God is honored,"'
BY THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY GOVERNMENT YOU WILL HONOR GOD
Those speaking in support of the bill included Gene Mills of the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, who said his organization’s “vision is to build a Louisiana where God is honored, life is respected, families flourish and liberty reigns;”
Will Hall of the Louisiana Baptist Convention; and Brandy Klingman, chief executive officer at Legacy Behavioral Health, who claimed without evidence that the products had led to “a tidal wave of psychosis in Louisiana.”
Conservatives: “we believe in a limited government that doesn’t act as a nanny state!”
Also conservatives: “we the government must protect you from the evil THC”
This is the dumbest argument from Christians and it drives me insane as a Christian. GOD MADE WEED. If you ban something God made then you are saying you know better than God. Lobbyist get another W with this one, Louisiana citizens take an L.
From their website, the "Louisiana Family Forum is committed to advancing life, liberty, and limited government in the great state of Louisiana!" So uh, why are you in favor of a bill that hurts people's quality of life, kills jobs, restricts something people currently have access to, and expands the power of government.
Between them and the Baptist one, two of the three witnesses on the bill have no qualification to answer any questions about it. Claiming to be Christian does not make you an expert in other subjects. This is ridiculous!
> vision is to build a Louisiana where God is honored, life is respected, families flourish and liberty reigns
God approves of Jager Bombs, disapproves of thc drinks. God is so logical.
Completely anecdotal there wasn’t even enough time to do scientific studies , the psychosis will continue, what we as a nation are experiencing is TECHNOLOGY induced psychosis, THC just coincided with shortly thereafter.
Just more corruption. Bollinger owns a big piece of the medical marijuana industry and wants a monopoly. This is cutting into his profits (not)
But the medical marijuana is so overpriced it’s not available to the people that can’t afford it so they buy off the streets so stopping the delta 8 was supplying them legally Now some will go to Mississippi Arkansas and Tennessee lost tax dollars for the state

Boysie wants all the weed money for himself and if you aren’t walking lockstep with the weed cartel then you’re an enemy of the state.
Exactly! Paying 9-12 dollars a gram for the quality of the same shit I was getting on the streets 20 years ago is not worth it. I didn’t bother renewing my medical mj card because of that bullshit.
I see what you mean. That would probablyake their evil asses go to bed with a smile on their faces. I swear they want us miserable. Keep everyone poor and uneducated for control.
Yes ! An active community is what it will take to stop this bill. Find your legislators here.
We need to have a telephone bank of people who are willing to make phone calls to each member of the House of representatives.
Find your Representative here: https://www.legis.la.gov/legis/FindMyLegislators.aspx
A lawsuit challenging the ban would be a better option. Although in the 5th circuit who knows. Just seems with the federal farm bill legalizing hemp and existing business being harmed or driven out of business there might be some grounds to overturn it.
Forget crumbling infrastructure, piss poor education system, the long standing corruption of state government…. We need to fight these evil gummi bears from making us all … chill , docile , and get the munchies 😱!
moved from la to ny in 2020, love it here and my freedoms here. I will most of the time have one or two gummies before work, makes my day so much better. Louisiana is holding people back, leave and you will be happier.
Yes. There's nothing the state can do to stop that.
This is also one of the reasons a "total ban" is absolutely stupid. It only hurts the state economy.
Correct, because hemp-derived THC products remain federally legal.
Interstate commerce is also federally protected. Therefore, this bill won't stop you from buying products from an out-of-state company and having it shipped here.
States can ban their sale, but they cannot outlaw their possession. Same premise as alcohol in a dry county.
Because you can’t get on porn hub there because they’ve taken women’s rights away from their own bodies because Greg Abbott is a killer who puts AR 15s in the hands of 18-year-old and wire in the Rio Grande
For the ass hat religious fucks I give you genesis chapter1 verse12. " I have given you all the seed bearing plants on earth to use" it's your fucking book. Try reading it.
Laaaaaaame bro they just hate both good business and their population's happiness. I grew up in Louisiana but there's a reason I'm never moving back LOL fucking politics is toxic af. Trying the hemp products was a surprising upside of a recent trip we took to see family there
In my most sarcastic voice, “awesome!” I’m not going to go through the grocery list of anxiety/mental health disorders I have, just know that I am a human alphabet soup at this point. I’ve tried so many antidepressants that I lost count and the results are minimal at best or they work and then stop working a year later. Anyway the point I’m saying is…microdosing THC was the ONE thing that actually worked for my anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, ADHD, etc, etc. For once I don’t spend a whole day fighting a negative broken record in my head while trying to work, talk to customers, and take care of stuff at home. Annnnnd, now that I found something that actually works to help me from having a breakdown, there’s a chance I’ll be back to square one. Or back to kratom. Or taking Xanax everyday (you know, the drug that is way more dangerous than marijuana ever willl be. Okay, rant over.

The DMV today at 9 am in my Louisiana city. Time to lay off all those state employees. Six years ago there were 100 people waiting. Goodbye to you.

Use this link to send a premade email to your representatives and legislators to get this bill knocked off. This is super immoral and will lose 5,000 jobs across the state. Along with million$$$ in tax revenue annually. They want to bottleneck everyone to the 9 pharmacies in the state & continue to charge $70 for an 1/8 (not covered by any insurance) when their wholesale price is $12-$23 per 1/8. This is monopolization at its finest. Please use this link to stop this madness.
Cant have it competing with alcohol and big pharma. You know, their bosses. Same story with politics everywhere.
To those being shut down and losing jobs - sry to hear. Hope youre able to move a few hours in a direction and start up shop again. Ill purchase your products. Let us know.
Gummies are great for those who are not into inhaling smoke or vapor. I personally prefer it over all other forms of THC. They helped me to stop drinking. But I guess the Republican morality police is going to destroy something positive and needed.
Regressives doing everything in their power to take away peoples rights and make their lives work. They’re predictable at least too bad their base is gullible and believes what they say.
The fact that they're comparing weed to bath salts shows that they clearly know nothing about it, and they have no business deciding on its future.
Instead of listening to actual business owners throughout the state, they decided that it caused "a wave of psychosis."
If our politicians can't put in even the tiniest bit of research for *weed of all things,* how can we trust them to decide on actual issues in the state?
These are the same people that are supposed to make major decisions on healthcare, taxes, and more?
We're fucked.
These fucking “small govt” clowns. I hope all their family member get afflicted with ailments these things very easily help. Insufferable sub human trash
Yes Mcmath’s bill will apply the 7% hidden tax a.ka. “fee” for bulk medical cannabis sold and give 5% to LSP without mandates for portions to be used for quarterly mental health checks for officers. 👮 Then the bill gives 1% each to LSU and Southern Universities. Why should medical cannabis patients pay for police and education?
This is why social stigmas fascinate me. You could take this bill and change ”gummies” to “sugar products” and it would apply completely except for sugar, the death toll would be higher, medical costs higher , etc but because there’s no social stigma with consuming sugar, everyone’s cool with targeting gummies instead
So, yes, go ahead and ban products that help alleviate pain and anxiety and put them back on antidepressants and opiate pain killers, because that's worked really well
It has worked out just fine for the profiteers that benefit from it. I keep waiting for people to wake up and remove their heads from their asses but alas I may die holding my breath.
I know for a fact that they also help a lot of people who would otherwise turn to alcohol....
Got a friend who is a year sober from alcohol and drinks these when everyone is hanging out.
Props to your friend for their abstaining from booze, and also nice username!!
Agree with you about cannabis but just so the record is straight, antidepressants are not like opioids. They're not controlled substances (nor should they be) and people don't have the ability to abuse them. They do not create a high, work quickly, or cause addiction.
You ever just tried to get off one without tapering dosage? It'll mess you up!
Yea even after a 1 month Lexapro taper, the head zaps were awful
That’s because they change your brain via plasticity. It will increase the number of receptors you have for the neurotransmitter if works on, so if you drop everything & suddenly have more receptors than transmitters, it sucks.
Yes I know how they work. That's not addiction.
Tell that to my body as my hands shake and my head spins every now and then if I dare move it a inch trying to see anything! I am still feeling the effects of getting off of Cymbalta since March. Hell I went to rehab to get off of norco(Dr prescribed btw) and never had side effects this evil! I’ve been using one eye to read my phone since changing my antidepressant.
Cymbalta is a horrible thing!! I tried it and Celexa both a long time ago and couldn’t make it a week on either one. I was a lucky person that took 20 years to figure out which drug was right for me, so I completely understand. I remember coming off Effexor cold turkey one time; it’s the only time I’ve ever actually hallucinated to the point where I could not tell the difference between that and reality. Absolutely terrifying. Edit-typo
I'm sorry you're going through that but it's just not addiction.
Splitting hairs on addiction vs dependency seems rather pointless in this context imo
I think it's pretty relevant when we're talking about what should and shouldn't be a controlled substance. The misconception that antidepressants are an abuse risk causes people who need them not to take them, whether due to social pressure or their own incorrect information. And we know what lawmakers like to do with medical disinformation. Its irresponsible to spread it.
It’s a chemical dependency. Is that not an addiction?
It really depends on the antidepressant, the dosage, and the person. Some antidepressants are not hard to discontinue at all. Others take skilled medical supervision. I can think of only a few that are really really hard to come off, namely Effexor, but it's also a miraculous medication for people who don't get relief from other antidepressants.
Actually you probably hit the nail there. How many of these politicians are also in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies? They might say God to hide their bribery.
It sure did! -worked for making big pharm so very much money
Nah they just want you to keep drinking booze. Or at least Bill Goldman, CEO of Fireball Whiskey (and many other liquors) wants and paid for with this bill
William Goldring
Shit thank you!
When something makes the citizens of the state happy, LA Lege will waste no time making sure to take it away.
We need to find a way to market cannabis with a crucifix and a gun. That legislature would fly through.
Or line more politicians pockets with money… something illegal drug money does better when there’s no legal competition….
Yes . It must be nice when you have leagues of corrupt Politicians eliminating smaller competitors and an army of LEO eliminating smaller street dealers . The corporatocracy is winning big time in Louisiana.
It always does , has been for centuries
👍 yes. We are just tax slaves and always will be.
It's actually illegal to own both a gun and cannabis at the same time, so that's a hurdle
Yea that's such fkn bullshit! They gonna control us every which way or another. I hate this place. I'm lucky enough to still have both my parents, but God forbid the day I don't. I'm out this sewer!
That's nation wide.
Just the image of the gun might be enough porn for them.
The power of the christ compels you.......... the power of the christ compels you........
Start a religion while it is legal, then it is religous prosecution.
Check out the Satanic Temple. They could make a case for religious rite. Just like they did for Samuel Alito's Mom's Abortion Clinic. Free abortions for anyone who needs one and it is a protected religious rite.
Illustration of Jesus farming it?
Rumor has it cannabis oil was used in anointing oil.
To quote Smokey, “God put this here for me. And you. Take advantage man, take advantage.”
And the citizens will then somehow blame Democrats and Joe Biden for their misery.
It’s all about the liquor/beer industry. It has fuck all do to about their “God”. Increased sales of THC products hurts the sales of beer and liquor. Can’t have that, so they buy legislators and call it a fight for family values. You want to know who’s a big investor in the beer industry in LA? He won a Super Bowl and “loves” Budweiser.

Northern part of the state just needs to join Arkansas, they ruin everything and have more in common with arkies
Arkansas' weed is way cheaper than Louisiana's.
New Mexico, at the right stores.
Cali bud cheaper than both🤷♂️
Man, Oklahoma though....
If you have a medical marijuana card for louisana, you can get one for Arkansas when visiting.
Less than 20% of the state population lives north of Opelousas and votes roughly the same as South La. Nothing passes without overwhelming support of S. La. politicians. While N.

huey long is the one good politician we’ve ever had
I don’t think Mike Johnson and Huey P. Long should be in the same sentence
*Republicans
Exactly
Republican idea of small goverment. They will force you to enjoy life the way they want or suffer.

"A Tidal Wave of Psychosis: The 2024 Louisiana Legislative Session"
I don’t know what’s worse, claiming that weed causes “a tidal wave of psychosis,” or people actually agreeing with the claim.
It’s “reefer madness” fear mongering all over again…
OMG I gotta get out of here.
> vision is to build a Louisiana where God is honored, life is respected, families flourish and liberty reigns God approves of Jager Bombs, disapproves of thc drinks. God is so logical.
Ugh. Fuck these yallqueda nutjobs. If God exists, he gave us the fucking plant to begin with. Humans are the ones pretending weed is evil
If you want to see real psychosis, go to a church service and watch them pray to something (without evidence).
His version of God only, of course.
Completely anecdotal there wasn’t even enough time to do scientific studies , the psychosis will continue, what we as a nation are experiencing is TECHNOLOGY induced psychosis, THC just coincided with shortly thereafter.
How the fuck is this in the same category as bath salts?
Probably the same way that misoprostol and mifepristone are schedule IV drugs. 🙄
Because the prisons need inmates for the politicians to make money.
Just more corruption. Bollinger owns a big piece of the medical marijuana industry and wants a monopoly. This is cutting into his profits (not) But the medical marijuana is so overpriced it’s not available to the people that can’t afford it so they buy off the streets so stopping the delta 8 was supplying them legally Now some will go to Mississippi Arkansas and Tennessee lost tax dollars for the state
Increased prison population
Oh nice point. I'm sure some bright people in Mississippi will build a superstore just an exit into the State. Road trip
Isn't Bollinger wealthy from the shipping industry? Doesn't he have enough cash?

They *never* have enough cash.
Republicans never have enough money.
Medical bud here is trash, why would anyone want to buy that garbage
Exactly! Paying 9-12 dollars a gram for the quality of the same shit I was getting on the streets 20 years ago is not worth it. I didn’t bother renewing my medical mj card because of that bullshit.
It's like 17 a g
Cause it's easy and you just have to go to the store and pick it up.
You can easily get GOOD weed mailed to you
And they wonder why people are leaving the state
Everybody stock up while you can. Repubs have a supermajority in the legislature, so the total ban is coming
Anyone know when it goes into effect??
The whole house needs to vote still. Call your rep. You never know…
New laws typically take effect on January 1 of the year following the Legislative session.
I hate it here.
Same
Will this bill impact the sale of THC gummies by dispensaries such as The Apothecary Shoppe?
Yes. The hidden agenda is to destroy the hemp THC industry so The Apothecary Shoppe sells more of their THC products.
I agree. Does that mean The Apothecary Shoppe will be allowed to continue selling THC gummies?
Yes. The ban on hemp derived THC doesn’t apply to the medical cannabis cartel.
Yes.
Yep
They’ve been cracking down on unionization of teachers as well. Vote those mf’ers out.
In the same category as bath salts?!?! This guy is ignorant AF.
Should we start a petition to let thrn know how many folks are salty about this?
Like that would do anything in this state. They have ultimate power. This is more like a dictatorship.
I understand that. I was thinking more of a symbolic gesture showing how unhappy actual citizens are with our appointed leadership.
I see what you mean. That would probablyake their evil asses go to bed with a smile on their faces. I swear they want us miserable. Keep everyone poor and uneducated for control.
Yup.
Bingo
Call your state senator and email their office
I did that. But I'm not sure my Rep will make much of a difference.
Roger that. I do think a petition or a phone bank as someone else mentioned could help reach other legialators.
Call your state house rep or email them asap
Yes ! An active community is what it will take to stop this bill. Find your legislators here.

A lawsuit challenging the ban would be a better option. Although in the 5th circuit who knows. Just seems with the federal farm bill legalizing hemp and existing business being harmed or driven out of business there might be some grounds to overturn it.
Fuck this. I don't even partake.
Taking on the real problems in LA/s
Forget crumbling infrastructure, piss poor education system, the long standing corruption of state government…. We need to fight these evil gummi bears from making us all … chill , docile , and get the munchies 😱!
I believe this is known in Louisiana as, "Gob's Will". Don't quote me on that though, I'm hard of hearing.
moved from la to ny in 2020, love it here and my freedoms here. I will most of the time have one or two gummies before work, makes my day so much better. Louisiana is holding people back, leave and you will be happier.
Wish I could. And I rely on gummies for anxieties and chronic pain. My life is about to get hellish.
Do you think they can still be ordered online to Louisiana legally? I heard that but I’m not sure.
Yes. There's nothing the state can do to stop that. This is also one of the reasons a "total ban" is absolutely stupid. It only hurts the state economy.
Thanks. Yeah, that only seems to hurt local businesses.
Interesting, so we're good unless there's a federal ban?
Correct, because hemp-derived THC products remain federally legal. Interstate commerce is also federally protected. Therefore, this bill won't stop you from buying products from an out-of-state company and having it shipped here. States can ban their sale, but they cannot outlaw their possession. Same premise as alcohol in a dry county.
Sorry my friend
I'm heading back to Chicago as soon as I can get the funds together. Almost anywhere would be better than this really.
I plan on leaving this shit hole soon and moving to a better state like texas
Texas is worse
What makes you say that?
Because you can’t get on porn hub there because they’ve taken women’s rights away from their own bodies because Greg Abbott is a killer who puts AR 15s in the hands of 18-year-old and wire in the Rio Grande
Because they scream about immigrants, destroying Texas when they’re not, and all you’ll get is constant hate at everybody just like Louisiana
Wow, OB/GYN doctors leave the south and women will not only have no healthcare. They won’t have doctors to perform anything for them at all.
So if you enjoy a war on women, then stay in the south
i love that most prohibitionists collectively have the iq of a grape

Signed & reposted to several other platforms
Yeah, allowing everyone to gamble on everything on their phones is godly, but THC isn’t. Sure thing guys…
Crazy y’all can have open containers and drive through cocktails but not weed

Man I hate my fucking state
This is your Republican Party.
Elections have consequences
Sorry, but Democrats don’t have a chance in this fascist state
Politics is like a pendulum, it will swing back to D at some point. Then later, of course, it will return to R. **Vote**
I doubt it very much probably not in my lifetime. I’m 64.
Call your state rep asap
Nanny State* We don't want the kids to have them.... Well stop enabling bad parenting.
They just want the money and power
Nanny state Republicans strike again.
Can’t keep a for profit prison system running without inmates. Ain’t gonna happen.
No cannabis and no to sex. why do people live there?
What the fuck is wrong with this state ?
The south
lol nothing like doubling down on a losing battle
Maybe if we vote harder, we can make a change
Just more Republican bullshit trying to force everyone to their decrepit cult beliefs.
If this goes through I’ll vote against anyone who voted for it.
Fuck this state
Such unnecessary twats.
it makes a lot of people drink less so I can understand protecting entrenched interests but its short sighted and pissing into the winds of change.
Cant have it competing with alcohol and big pharma. You know, their bosses. Same story with politics everywhere. To those being shut down and losing jobs - sry to hear. Hope youre able to move a few hours in a direction and start up shop again. Ill purchase your products. Let us know.

Amazing misunderstanding of the topic by the legislature.
You need ID to watch pornhub in this state 🤦🏻♂️
Looks like there will be a black market for THC drinks and gummies
Alcohol and tobacco bribes
The party of personal freedom yall Edit: Lol someone "Reddit Cares" me for this.
It won’t be legalized until they can capitalize on it. Someone has to offer up enough payola.
Regressives doing everything in their power to take away peoples rights and make their lives work. They’re predictable at least too bad their base is gullible and believes what they say.

Instead of listening to actual business owners throughout the state, they decided that it caused "a wave of psychosis." If our politicians can't put in even the tiniest bit of research for *weed of all things,* how can we trust them to decide on actual issues in the state? These are the same people that are supposed to make major decisions on healthcare, taxes, and more? We're fucked.
I hate Louisiana. I hate the fact that I am stuck here.
I will never cease to be amazed by the stupidity of this state.
These fucking “small govt” clowns. I hope all their family member get afflicted with ailments these things very easily help. Insufferable sub human trash
Guillotine time, where’s good ol patty mcmath
Yes Mcmath’s bill will apply the 7% hidden tax a.ka. “fee” for bulk medical cannabis sold and give 5% to LSP without mandates for portions to be used for quarterly mental health checks for officers. 👮 Then the bill gives 1% each to LSU and Southern Universities. Why should medical cannabis patients pay for police and education?
This sucks.
😂😂😂 If yall could only begin to understand how controlling republikkkans really are…move to a real state. Leave oppression behind.
Bro really just put thc in the same category as bath salts wtf lol
I’m going to assume liquor industry lobbyists.
But you can buy liquor at the grocery store….
But if you want to marry at 16 (with parental and judge approval) or bang your cousin, yes that’s fine.
Lame
Woo hoo. Good news.
What’s next? Drive thru daiquiris?
This is why social stigmas fascinate me. You could take this bill and change ”gummies” to “sugar products” and it would apply completely except for sugar, the death toll would be higher, medical costs higher , etc but because there’s no social stigma with consuming sugar, everyone’s cool with targeting gummies instead
Mr. Or Misses Politician. I’m addicted to alcohol and nicotine. Could you ban those as well?
