High Headliners!

“Drinkin’ buds”, I guess it was only a matter of time. Once they worked out how to make cannabis water soluble it was always going to spread like a Californian wildfire. The hemp farming family in Wisconsin* (where weed is still illegal) expects to sell a million of their buds in a can this year, their third year! And it doesn’t have to be strong, it can easily be microdosing, like a very light beer. Just to take the edge off!

I’ve been enjoying “Into the Weeds”, Jeremy’s podcasts. He’s so far interviewed quite a range of people and I think he’s good in the chair, good at the helm. Political animals are a unique breed I’m discovering and he is certainly a rare one, a real beauty. We are very fortunate to have his experience in the Legalise Cannabis Party.

I’ve been nervous about no one in Trumpy’s family looking like they’ve ever pulled a bong and now RFK is promising to follow the science. The issue for me is which science? Cannabis is as mystical as its creator and impossible to pin down. Plus we’re all unique with our very own endocannabinoid systems.

I meet a lot of tokers in the HEMP Embassy and there are many who don’t like the imported legal very high THC weed that comes in hard lumps, the stuff RFK is worried about. Unless they are in serious physical pain, and then they need the highest THC possible. Others who just want to relax prefer the outdoor organic bush weed, as we call it. Me too.
