Wow quite the change in tone with these guys. When I say “these” guys I’m saying a group of mostly retailers that are selling the very thing they are saying undermined the integrity of the industry. Isn’t Jonathon Miller the guy who basically wrote the Barr Bill which still allows for conversions that’s what I heard atleast? The @GoodnessofHemp is the only path forward. If these guys truly say they have turned a leaf then why won’t they pressure there supporters towards a solution that doesn’t include the ability to chemically alter the starting cannabinoid? Answer: they’re full of shit.
The marketing of intoxicating products under the guise of #hemp undermines the integrity of the industry and true intent of the 2018 Farm Bill. These types of products should be regulated and sold in adult-use cannabis channels. Learn more via @AP 👇apnews.com/article/business-…

Contestant on Kill Tony says he bought “Diamonds” from Hometown Heroes that was listed from hemp. They then shipped it through the mail and he got pulled over and claims it tested positive for Meth!

The whole pitch is: take CBD isolate, put it in an autoclave, purge the oxygen with nitrogen, heat it to 260–310°C for two hours, and out comes Delta-9 THC. No solvents. No acid catalysts. Just heat and pressure. Their own example: 1,250 grams of CBD in, 20.8% THC out. This isn’t a breakthrough it’s a pressure cooker and a nitrogen tank. The chemistry has been known for decades — CBD rearranges to THC under heat. This patent just packages it as “thermal isomerization” instead of “chemical conversion,” because the word “chemical” is the one the DEA’s May 2026 rule hangs on. The DEA said tetrahydrocannabinols produced through chemical conversion, even when hemp-derived, are synthetic and don’t qualify as hemp. So the industry’s answer is to swap the acid for an autoclave and call it natural. Same molecule. Same starting material. Same outcome. Different vocabulary. But here’s what actually matters: this is happening outside the living plant. That’s the DEA’s line — whether you use chemicals or not, if you make the molecule outside the plant, it’s synthetic. This patent doesn’t make the argument any better. It makes it worse, because it proves the conversion is trivial. The same molecule you’re creating outside the plant is the same molecule that gets a farmer’s crop plowed under, his license revoked, and him facing jail time if he goes a tenth of a percent over. Meanwhile, you convert CBD to THC in an autoclave and everything’s fine?
Hello Hemp Haters. 😉 This one is going to make the “synthetic THC” crowd uncomfortable. A new patent application lays out a process for converting CBD into Delta 9 THC using heat, pressure, and nitrogen. No solvents. No acid catalysts. No sulfuric acid. No hydrochloric acid. Just thermal isomerization of a cannabinoid that already came from the cannabis plant. And in their test run? CBD isolate with no detectable Delta 9 was converted into material containing 20.8% Total THC. So maybe it is time we stop pretending every converted cannabinoid is some scary synthetic chemical cooked up in a laboratory. Chemistry happens in the plant. Chemistry happens with heat. And apparently, chemistry happens without the chemicals everyone keeps warning you about. The Devil’s lettuce is in the details. 😉

Toxicology reports in the suspicious deaths of two University of Mississippi students are expected to be completed as early as next week, according to the state's commissioner of public safety. Oxford police have separately announced arrests in connection with a raid on a tobacco shop accused of trafficking narcotics. It's not immediately clear whether the raid has any connection to the student deaths. It remains unclear how the Ole Miss students died, but narcotics detectives are involved in investigations into both of their deaths. If the reports find fentanyl, there is a special Mississippi law that can be used to target whoever sold it, according to authorities. Full story here foxnews.com/us/ole-miss-toxi…

America weeps as its useless politicians allow synthetic drugs to poison its children. They got free narcan on campus at Ole Miss, because the smoke shop drug money laundering maggots have infested every community in America and are poisoning our youth. #SmokeShopGate
Narcan is free and in vending machines on the Ole Miss campus.

Smoke and vape shops are toast. Enough is enough! Time for federal regulators to create a single unified database and license structure for tobacco, vape, and nicotine retailers. Audit them all. Shut the bad ones down. Arrest the perps! #SmokeShopGate

It’s a bad time to be peddling dirty and unregulated drugs in smoke and vape shops. #SmokeShopGate
🚨 OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI JUST RAIDED A VAPE SHOP. Lafayette County Metro Narcotics hit Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store on Heritage Drive. They walked out with 500+ units of KRATOM — banned in Oxford since 2019, plus THC carts, gummies, and other suspected narcotics. Arrested: • Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51 • Islam Mohamed, 18 Both charged with possession of Schedule I drugs with intent to distribute. The owner? Amer Alowdi, 40. Indicted in 2022 for trafficking narcotics… then FLED THE COUNTRY. This is a college town. Two Ole Miss students were just found dead with packaged kratom at the scenes. Police: if you sell this poison here, we will find you. They should!

I went to support the hemp cause and after looking at what these guys sell, I realized it smelled like straight ass. I implore people to click through the rest of the US Hemp Roundtable member websites and explore for themselves. Some legit companies there doing good things with clean products, but also quite a few things that look "interesting". Kratom gummies, amanita mushrooms + HHC synthetic cannabinoid chocolate bars, THCa flower, etc. Just a hodgepodge of intoxicating products... 🔗 - hempsupporter.com/about/#mem…
I thought THCa was legal guys? How am I a narc for showing a video of a publicly accessible website that is hotlinked to the US Hemp Roundtable's member list web page. Hempster gang in shambles.
