#2Senator McConnell is not known for his support of medical or recreational marijuana legalization but I view this as a step in the right direction. Take that, DuPont!

I'm glad that mr "say not to anything drugs at all costs" Sessions was fired. We need more sensible drugs laws. Not saying make everything legal, but all things in moderation and commensurate, including punishment.

#4One small step in the right direction.

#5The regulated psychoactive cannabis is way too strong for me.
As long as its treated differently in its own licensing regime and establishments I think some form of education should accompany it, for consumers. Given generations of bad information.
Its come up with others here in California, the THC products are REALLY strong and offputting for us casuals. The hybrids have potential

#6What a disconnect from the population. State after state legalizing marijuana and congress moves to legalize hemp. At least at the state level people are being left alone to their own bidding.

It’s actually way, wayyy more nuanced than that unfortunately. THC is only one of a plethora of components at play (it’s been bred for higher and higher THC content for decades, mostly ignoring the other, more medicinal parts).
Only recently have I started seeing products in dispensaries with cannabinoid/terpenoid profiles to give a more accurate picture of the effects, I think we’re going to start seeing more products that are essentially blends of pure THC/CBD/CBN/CBG/etc + specific terpenes to make very effective targeted medicines.

oh okay
"THC/CBD/CBN/CBG/etc + specific terpenes"
what?
what would be a good place to have a primer about this, what is the public's understanding of this currently, especially in recreational legalized areas
how do we get to more holistic and broader knowledge for consumers. I agree that locking people up and taking their children isn't a productive use of the state in response to marijuana, and I can perceive this blanket legalization needs some fine tuning primarily with consumer education, something more akin to what you might see from a consumptive drug in the federal regulatory framework.

I have to ask: is terpene an actual scientifically defined word? I've only ever heard stoners use it to describe different marijuana strain's scents. Googling it yields nothing but pot-related results. How have I made it through so many years of studying plethoras of high level scientific subjects and am just now hearing this word? Now on HN nonetheless...
