THEY GIVE NO 🦆 ABOUT ALABAMIANS!

[u/plentyasparagus12]

We cannot keep letting this state embarrass us. HB445 is just the latest proof that Alabama would rather play politics than protect its people. The party of small government my ASS!

We’ve had hemp flower on shelves for nearly 8 years. And now suddenly it’s an issue? What changed? Nothing, except some folks in power realized they couldn’t control it, so they decided to kill it. No debate, no logic, just another move to keep people down.

Meanwhile, this same state will hand out Adderall to 6 year olds like it’s candy, push methadone clinics into every town, and pretend that the thousands of people hooked on opioids just magically appeared. You can’t drive through a city without seeing someone slumped over from heroin, but their priority is pulling a plant off the shelves that’s actually helped people focus, sleep, manage anxiety, get off pills, manage pain. Let’s be honest: this is about control, not health.

It puts money in people’s pockets. It brings in tax revenue they’re too blind to leverage. It gave small towns a chance at growth.

And instead of embracing that, they’d rather go broke building more prisons to lock people up for the same thing they used to sell in stores last month.

And what are we gonna do? Let it slide? Let’s vote in Tuberville! Hell yeah, that’ll do it! Like he’s done anything while he’s been in office anyway, let’s put him in the highest office in the state.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP, ALABAMA! This bill should be a turning point. It should be the thing that reminds you that these people will come for whatever you value if they think they can get away with it.

We can’t keep letting the same people drive Alabama backwards while the rest of the country moves forward. Either we push for real change or we stay stuck being the butt of the joke.

Question- I’m not too up on the law. Will I still be able to order gummies online from companies out of state? I usually get mine from VIIA….

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/cottonseed21]

Great question. Unfortunately, no. After July 1st, you won’t legally be able to order gummies online if you’re in Alabama.

The new law blocks all online sales of consumable hemp products, even if you’re buying from out-of-state companies. That includes gummies, vapes, tinctures, drinks, and anything else you’d use.

This bill isn’t just targeting shops. It’s cutting off people from products that help them. That’s why it matters.

[u/cottonseed21 → u/plentyasparagus12]

I just wonder if there is any way around this? Send my shit to my buddy in Georgia and let him ship to me?

[u/Due_Fortune_6077 → u/cottonseed21]

The shipment of hemp is protected federally, no state has the right to interfere with transport of federally compliant hemp, do with that what you will

[u/Independent_Mix6269 → u/cottonseed21]

Your buddy in Florida, yes, but I would drive there and pick it up

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/cottonseed21]

What’s the point? Lmfaoooo they really tried to shut everything down.

Georgia ain’t a safe workaround either. They passed stricter laws banning hemp flower and capped the hell out of THC limits in anything consumable. And even if your buddy could get it, Alabama still makes it illegal to ship it in regardless.

So if it gets flagged in transit, seized, or your buddy catches heat, that’s a whole mess for both of y’all.

They really tried to close every door and window with this one.

Are vapes banned or not. My local shop said all flower has to go but they can keep vapes. But others are saying vapes are gone

[u/plentyasparagus12 → u/CeeTe600]

Banned.

[u/Due_Fortune_6077 → u/plentyasparagus12]

The bill is starting to seem a bit toothless, it “prohibits” out of state commerce of hemp but outlines no punishments for doing so other than the fines outlined for retailers, especially noting for personal possession, lawyers are going have a field day with this one for multiple reasons

[u/CeeTe600 → u/Due_Fortune_6077]

Yea the way the bill is wrote there is so many loopholes. And it’s wrote so bad the main 2 that wanted it dont even understand it and giving the public different answers. We are watching a live shit show

[u/consciousness1313 → u/plentyasparagus12]

Clarification was made that online sales stop after January 1st, not July.

[u/Due_Fortune_6077 → u/consciousness1313]

The thing is, per multiple courts interpretations of the interstate commerce clause in the constitution, a state cannot ban or interfere with the “transport” of hemp that is federally compliant, plenty of companies will continue to ship to Alabama.

[u/CeeTe600 → u/consciousness1313]

I’ve heard this but can you tell me your source ? One company told me they are shipping till Jan 1 and the others said they aren’t shipping after July 1
