Is Mary Miller, Congresswoman from Illinois, supported by Drug Dealers?

Perhaps, but Representative Mary Miller of Illinois is using her position to harm small business owners while padding the pockets of true Drug Dealers (and potentially campaign donors) while attempting to harm children nationwide with Marijuana-based medicinal levels of THC. Levels of drugs that can harm minors in irreparable ways. According to the Mayo Health Clinic, "The concentration of THC in a marijuana product is directly proportional to its potency or how much of a high it will give when consumed. Marijuana use among adolescents and young adults can affect normal brain development, leading to problems in learning, memory, coordination, reaction time and judgment." The higher the dose, the worse it gets, hence DELTA products are better for you in low doses and at all ages, which no one disagrees with in the medical community. We also know that teenagers will use THC and there is no way to stop that regardless of how much we try to discourage it as parents/members of our society.

Mary Miller proposed an Amendment to the Farm Bill to exclude products with detectable amounts of THC as well as any cannabinoid “synthesized or manufactured outside of the plant.” Miller said in a message on her X account “These drug-infused products are often sold in colorful packaging next to candy and snacks, which parents strongly oppose!”

What the Congresswoman from Illinois either fails to realize or completely ignores in her pursuit to inject a senseless amendment (likely in response to a healthy campaign donation to support this blatant misrepresentation…we can think of no other possibility other than those listed below) that would seek to eradicate a $28 Billion industry is that these products are not marketed to children and are certainly not sold “in colorful packaging next to candy and snacks”. This is a fraudulent position the Congresswoman is taking, as there are already laws in place that address this matter. We, as an industry, even went above and beyond in ensuring our products were not visible within the packaging, unlike the THC products Mary Miller is promoting with insanely high doses and clear packaging at dispensaries. (Their bad behavior is something we would be fined for as regulated Hemp businesses by the way)

Blue Moon Hemp, Blue Moon Distro, all of our many brands and partner brands, and all of our great friends in this industry including mom-and-pop retailers throughout the US go to incredible lengths to ensure our products are compliant, kept within the legal limits of THC for Hemp products (which is a fraction of the enormous THC levels delivered by the irresponsible products marketed by those interested in limiting Hemp distribution through gullible/fraudulent legislators like Mary Miller). These products are not candy at the checkout aisle at your local convenience mart, gas station, or grocery store. These are products regulated to NOT look like candy, to NOT be out and available to minors with the candy (but rather locked down and behind the counter managed by a trained associate that checks ID), and these products are regulated to have a very minor dose of THC.

The companies in Illinois that very likely/logically must be backing Mary Miller are companies that sell Marijuana-based products in dispensaries that have ENORMOUS (and even irresponsible for most) doses of THC that are equivalent and in some cases even beyond medical doses. They are essentially the "legal" (within the state, but unlawful under Federal Law) version of the other illegal drug dealers that Mary Miller is also attempting to support with this legislative version of diarrhea.

DELTA/Hemp products and derived cannabinoids are intentionally delivered at a much lower, safer dose. We would never want to see children end up with the products in their hands that Mary Miller supports as a known dangerous drug pusher. If kids are going to get into trouble, whether it be drinking or smoking nicotine or taking THC products, and I am saying this as a father who has had a kid in trouble with drugs and known way too many parents who ended off way worse (including too many deaths), it’s best to have a responsible and regulated option. We think it is crazy to offer children throughout this country the insanely high, addict-level THC dose that Mary Miller seems hell-bent on delivering to your children through both her Illinois constituent dispensaries or her Illinois illicit drug dealers in back alleys ready to swoop in and pick up any slack left after our legitimate, safe products are all gone in her perverted reality.

Why would Mary Miller support an Amendment to the Farm Bill that would make the only THC products available in Illinois products with wild amounts of THC and only from the limited grow-operations that supply the Marijuana-based drugs Mary Miller is trying to make (by default) the only legal option? There are a few possibilities;

1. Mary Miller is owned by the Marijuana industry and is intentionally misrepresenting this issue, at great harm to your Children’s health as well as all users, intentionally in return for campaign donations from drug pushers.
2. Mary Miller thinks that by eradicating the more responsible THC products in Hemp that consumers in surrounding states will have to spend even more money in Illinois (where consumers go already because that’s where you get the stuff that “fucks you up” really good that Mary wants your children to take). It should be noted that Illinois has legalized Marijuana and is collecting lots of tax revenue on these addict-level THC doses. They also make tax revenue on DELTA products, but they are available in all surrounding states, which could have Mary thinking she will be a "heroine" after basically requiring all of the kids (and adults too) from throughout the midwest to come and buy Illinois' addict-level THC products.
3. Mary Miller is confused/unintelligent and believes that receiving a very low dose of THC from a slightly different plant is somehow worse than the life-ruining effects of her home state’s drugs/addictions she is such a champion for.
4. Mary Miller is a desperate politician aiming for the "mom vote" using lies and deception.

Whether she’s dumb or just a dirty politician, every single word she has stated on this topic is demonstrably/scientifically false and if she intends to have any credibility/integrity moving forward she should pull the Amendment and admit publicly her attempt to make such a disastrous mistake and disclose any conflicts present.

Hopefully Mary Miller, Congresswoman from Illinois, stops trying to promote illegal and harmful drug use by Americans.
