Dan Patrick is a Medical Bigot

Dan Patrick is a Medical Bigot

Texas has had so many leadership issues over the past 30 years it is sickening. Total schills, and insurance company sell outs. Nothing says Public Safety like banning nature, allowing tobacco and alcohol to flurish in our childrens lives with advertising and glamorizing the 6th street lifestyle. All the While blunt wraps contain more dangerous compounds than synthetic D8.

Here are 3 COAs of Tested Blunts with Cannabis Standards and they all have “dangerous” levels of Arsnic, Cadmium, and Lead, even though the levels state passing on some tests from Cannabis levels of testing, it does not help the Cannabis industry any to be wrapping your flower in dangerous sprayed blunt wraps. Where is the public aingst over these test results?

 

Dan Patrick is not any different. That man expects a man in a wheel chair to agree to BAN plant products. Well, kind of. Delta 8 is not a plant product but rather a bi-product of heated chemicaly altered cannabinoids during the extraction process from hemp. D8 is just as much trash as Dan Patrick.

“Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC) is a cannabinoid that does occur naturally in cannabis plants, but only in very small, trace amounts12345. Because these natural levels are so low, nearly all commercially available delta-8 THC is produced synthetically by chemically converting cannabidiol (CBD), which is typically derived from hemp1345. This process often involves the use of strong acids and other chemicals to transform CBD into delta-8 THC, making most delta-8 products on the market semisynthetic rather than directly extracted from the plant145.

To clarify:

  • in the sense of being an entirely lab-invented compound; it is a naturally occurring cannabinoid, but only in very small amounts in cannabis12345.

  • from hemp-derived CBD, due to the scarcity of delta-8 in the plant itself1345.

  • compared to the much more abundant delta-9 THC (the primary psychoactive component of cannabis)25.

In summary, delta-8 THC is found naturally in cannabis, but the vast majority of what is sold and consumed is produced through chemical synthesis from hemp-derived CBD, not directly extracted in significant quantities from the plant itself1345.”

How can we expect the leadership in the State of Texas to “protect” us from a plant, when they can not even protect us from themselves?
Texas is the World Headquarters to the Boy Scouts of America, who has rebranded to Scouting America due to the nations largest Childhood Sexual Assault Scandal in History. Over 150,000 children were abused by over 8,500 Predators in Uniform with over 34,000 protected parties being kept from libel due to insurance company policies that protect them from being sued by victims. Texas Department of Public Safety is on that Protected Parties List, along with every Church, School, Military Base, Police Department and County Bar Association. The biggest story in our Nations History where a Congressionally authorized youth organization was responsible for over 150,000 Childhood Sexual Assaults and worse, knew about the potential for further abuse and instead of removing predators from the kids, they removed the reporting of the abuse from the process as a matter of Insurance Policy.
