Yesterday at 3:27am

his arbitrarily illegal tariffs are starting to show some effects

Quote:

.............. The number of small business bankruptcies filed by farmers has reached a five-year high, according to data compiled by Bloomberg in July.       ........

.......... "A lot of people say he's just using tariffs as a bargaining chip, as a bluff," says Gil Gullickson, who owns a farm in South Dakota and edits an agriculture magazine.

"But I can say: history proves that tariffs don't end well."       ...........
......... on Tester, a former Democrat Senator of Montana, who is a third-generation farmer, told a US news station earlier this month: "With all these tariffs the president's put on, it's interrupted our supply chain… it's increased the cost of new equipment… and because of the trade and tariffs, a lot of customers have said to heck with the United States…

"The people who are new to agriculture, those young farmers who haven't saved money for times like this, they're going to be in trouble and a lot of those folks are going to go broke.

"And if this continues, a lot of folks like me are going to go broke too."    ...................

Trump Signs Shutdown Deal To Recriminalize Hemp,
Starting A One-Year Race To Rewrite The Rules

Donald Trump has signed the bill that ends the longest government shutdown in American history and sets in motion the return of federal prohibition for most hemp-derived products. The Senate passed the package on Monday. The House followed on Wednesday. Inside the hundreds of pages that fund critical agencies sits one of the most dramatic drug-policy reversals the United States has seen in years.

What Congress Just Recriminalized
The spending package contains a quiet but sweeping rewrite of the definition of legal hemp. As reported by Marijuana Moment, the new standard kicks in one year from enactment. On that date, any product that exceeds 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container becomes illegal under the Controlled Substances Act.

Not 0.4 milligrams per serving — per entire jar, can, cartridge, bag, bottle or packet.

The legislation also bans:

Any cannabinoid synthesized or manufactured outside the plant
Any cannabinoid that cannot be naturally produced by Cannabis sativa L.
Any intermediate product sold directly to consumers
Any cannabinoid with “similar effects” — or marketed as having similar effects — to THC, as determined by federal health regulators
This is a “total THC” framework that counts THCA, delta-8, delta-10 and other isomers. It eliminates most tinctures, gummies, seltzers, vapes, infused beverages and low-dose products that emerged after the 2018 Farm Bill.

Legal hemp retreats to a narrow technical definition. Everything else becomes marijuana under federal law.

Why?

Nobody would notice if they disappeared.
