We are in for a very mediocre 8 years.
We asked Xavier Becerra if he identifies as a NIMBY or a YIMBY and I am still dying over his answer. Great interview by @SophiaBollag, who tried to get him to say literally anything substantive.
Dr. Harold Han named Drinks Innovator of the Year by @foodandwine! 💚
9 yrs in, The Happy Chemist’s curiosity, heart, and excitement still make my day. Proud of Harold and the brilliant @vertosainc team behind this recognition.
Cheers! 🥂 @theherbsomm

What an honor to host @SteveHiltonx on @HighSpiritsPod! We found him to be a truly genuine, independent thinker, and very refreshing perspective on adding balance to Sacramento and our relationship with DC. What do you think?
@XavierBecerra you up?

Oooo, a cannabis policy fight? I want in.
Chris Lindsey is scolding @MarijuanaPolicy for opposing prohibition.
A former MPP advocate now defending the barriers the movement was built to dismantle.
Once upon a time, I worked with Chris through my ATACH participation...

It appears to be a brewing fight between Marijuana Policy Project and industry trade group ATACH on the hemp ban.
Chris Lindsey, a former MPP staffer now at ATACH, criticized MPP for supporting hemp derived THC.
"It asks Congress to protect synthetic THC products and THCa flower that bypasses the state regulatory programs MPP built."

To ATACH's members: does this position represent you?
I understand protecting your investment. I want licensed operators to thrive and participate in low-dose retail.
We should be fighting to remove your federal burdens, not impose them on everyone else.

Adam Smith and @MarijuanaPolicy: thank you for staying focused on access and responsible regulation.
Aaron Smith: proud to see you speak up.
We didn't spend our careers fighting for cannabis to end up defending who gets to keep the gate. Let's build something bigger.
