Hemp Ban Threatens $28B Industry

Congress is attempting to recriminalize most hemp products by redefining "hemp" in the federal spending package, threatening to wipe out 90–95% of a thriving $28+ billion industry. This isn't consumer protection; it's economic sabotage that would devastate farmers, destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs, eliminate billions in tax revenue, and push demand underground. The solution already exists: national standards with age-gating, testing, labeling, and responsible placement. If you work in, buy from, or care about this industry, you have 48–72 hours to make your voice heard.

Meta’s Moderation Double Standard? Cannabis & Psychedelics vs. Sex-and-Violence Content

Meta's Hypocrisy: Drugs vs. Sex/Violence

TL;DR: In 2025 Meta ended its U.S. third-party fact-checking and began rolling out Community Notes across Facebook, Instagram and Threads, changing how “borderline” posts are handled.

In practice, cannabis and psychedelics educators and nonprofits continue to report takedowns, suspensions, and “not eligible for recommendations” labels, even as other sensational content is frequently visible. The problem isn’t only “censorship”; it’s uneven, error-prone enforcement that undermines legitimate health and science discourse.
