this might be the legal loophole you were hoping for.

POT can make your head Wonky ........ .... .......( )

Well, if I understand the article, it's saying that Arkansas tried to effectively stop the supply of CBD (it included products containing less than 0.3% THC which wouldn't get a fly high), and that the hemp industry has persuaded a judge to put a temporary block on the enforcement of that law, pending a full trial next year.

Supporters of the original law claim they're trying to protect children from buying and swallowing a ton of CBD Gummies in the hope of getting a bit high. The cynic in me suspects they just want to wreck the CBD industry because they see it as essentially sinful, but it's possible that they just see wrecking it as cheaper than regulating it. Given that they're staunch Trump supporters, it's odd that they don't respect his decision to sign the Farm Bill that legalised hemp, but I suppose it's naive to expect much integrity from politicians. I suppose they'd say it just means they generally approve of him but don't think the sun shines out of his butt, if they didn't just dodge the question by screaming about commies wanting to kill America's lovely children. They'd probably opt for the latter response, as it's an effective emotive trick while the former involves logic and reason, which can only work on educated people.

Anyway, I still can't grow my own hemp because I can't afford the fees for the registration and regulation, and I'm lousy at navigating unfamiliar red tape. They've made sure that if there's going to be a hemp industry at all, it'll be run by big business. And even if I could jump through their hoops, if the law went the wrong way next year I'd be criminalised overnight if I didn't burn my crop very quickly and completely at the drop of the hat.

Why does everybody think I'm looking for pot? I'm looking for legal, cost-effective CBD. The fact that I could technically consume pot without breaking the law if I went to Missouri is just an interesting side issue. In practice I can't legally have either.

lots of things are illegal. doesn't stop peoples.

If it's anything like Colorado you find a cannabis doctor(as a lot of regular doctors here won't approve it either), pay the 100 dollar fee, tell them why you need it...some may require more documentation than others but the one I went to just telling them I had PTSD was enough. Then you can get a medical marijuana card that shows you're allowed to have it.

I didn't renew mine because medical marijuana is not much cheaper than recreational here and didn't feel like paying the 100 bucks that I could just use to buy weed.

It stops me, if it's a criminal offense. Not on moral grounds of course, just risk aversion.

apologies, i should have remembered your exigencies regarding immigration. i sure hope that your state gets its act together and makes at least quality CBD available to its citizens.

Much the same in Arkansas. It's more trouble and expense than it's worth, though I guess it depends on the person and their exact circumstances. I've heard of people for whom it's the safest and most effective way of treating severe epilepsy.

A forgivable mistake As for CBD, even before they started trying to ban it, they were charging a small fortune for the large amounts I'd need. I don't see that changing any time soon. It's the same in the UK. And it's all to pay for the red tape. If not for that it would cost almost nothing.

If medical was the only way to get it here, I'd fork out the 100 bucks for a med card for sure, it's just not nessisary because there is a dispensary every five blocks so you may find better deals at some places than others. That said these days people try to make strains all about the THC...and idk its nice to find lower thc weed that just has nice terpenes that make you feel relalxed rather than 25 % or more thc that some people are after...I personally prefer nice relaxing weed. Helps my PTSD and anxiety.

IDk though you are in your 70's so it would not be so suspicious if you ventured across a state line to get what you need. THey probably will not stop and search a 70 year old man, just make sure you don't break any road rules to draw attention, and you could probably travel out of state pick up some cbd and go home and no one would know. Stupid you'd have to sneakily do it like cbd doesn't even get you high it just causes relaxation and pain relief for some but nothing I can do about your state laws.

Well, so far they've been unable to make the law stick, so I hope good sense prevails when they try again next year. But the stuff costs so much that in practice it prohibits me from using it anyway. Normal doses have no effect on me.
