the whole point of the FDA taking over cannabis is the same as nicotine vaping

shut down the industry with over regulation that sounds positive on the surface

If that was their goal with vaping, it's been a spectacular failure. So I say they should go for it.

no it has not been a failure

the government was able to shut down most of the vape companies

some of them were very up to code being made in clean rooms good enough to make pharmaceuticals

now we have big tobacco vapes mixed in with shoddy products

have you talked to industry leaders such as business owners of some of these vape companies?

nicotine and cannabis industry is in shambles due to bad policies and laws

no wonder look at the right leaning conservatives that keep getting voted in with the latest one having a prosecutor as a vice

cannabis being rescheduled and not legalized is a trojan horse designed to make the people feel complacent and happy with only extreme regulation and the disappearance of sustainable, innovative products being the end result
