Missouri is banning the sale of drinks, candy and other foods made with hemp-derived intoxicating substances, Republican Gov. Mike Parson announced in an an executive order issued Thursday.
The ban kicks in Sept. 1.
Parson cited health concerns and lack of research on Delta-8 THC and similar unregulated CBD substances.
He also made clear that his order does not prohibit consumption of psychoactive hemp products. The rules “are not here to punish consumers,” Parson said.
Which is why the US legalized productivity drugs like caffeine and nicotine, but not something that might slow down workers.
I e never understood the mentality that stoners are slow workers. You’d rather I be miserable, feel like crap, and try to do my job like that? I get way more done when I’m in a good mood
That’s the point. Miserable people don’t have the energy to better themselves and do things such as take part time college to get a better job.
