There should be no debate about this: intoxicating THC products should not be sold to children. Anyone buying these products should know exactly what they are and exactly how much THC they contain. Right now, it’s the Wild West. That’s dangerous — especially for our kids and young adults... — and Congress must act now to change this.show more

Sounds like the fix is a regulated, adult use market for cannabis. Kids are not accessing ANYTHING from dispensaries. So if this is about the kids, Andy...we know the solution.

So illegalize and regulate cannabis dipshit!

So you just want to ban them? That makes zero sense! None at all!! Let’s ban alcohol! Our leaders are so out of touch. Let states regulate it! Tennessee and others have laws already on the books! Just stop with the fear mongering.

Prohibition ALWAYS works 🙄

Intoxicating hemp is actually illegal and synthetic marijuana. Hemp in name only! The 2018 Farm Bill hemp loophole is a money laundering vehicle for illegal and synthetic marijuana. The lab studies prove it! Legalize cannabis and end the hemp marijuana laundering charade!

You're literally making the case for legalization.

We should be promoting alcohol to our kids instead. We need to get our priorities right.

Black market weed labeled as hemp is all it is.

@medcorrect Yes let’s talk about marketing to kids

THEY ARE ALREADY AGE RESTRICTED PRODUCTS Enforcement failures by state governments are not the fault of the industry. Bad actors took advantage of your failures to properly enforce laws knowing they could get away with selling dubious product.

Take vapes and hemp out of gas stations keep it where it belongs in head shops which are Adult stores!!! Require stores are American owned!!!! Problem solved !!!

Standardize the age for everything age restricted to 18 or emancipation in a court process and this becomes less difficult to deal with.

Tax on alcohol is not going to make up the additional revenue states are making on hemp because people don’t want that poison anymore.

What's the problem with an age restriction and enforcement?

You're such a fake ass piece of shit. Your donors are lining your pockets and the lobbyists that control you are making you do their bidding for getting you into your little position. You're a boomer who's time has long since passed. Everyone hates you bro.

You are right, Congress must act now to change this...... through sensible regulations. Regulate the market and preserve adult choice for low THC products. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater @RepAndyHarrisMD @RepAndyBarr @RepJamesComer

It sounds like you are saying we need regulation to ensure #cannabis products are only sold to over 21s. Nobody wants THC being sold to children and adults should have freedom of choice to use it. #legalise

Get this fuck out of Congress, keep the weed.

or alcohol or tobacco or fried food or soft drinks

False. It is not the wild west. Products are tested. Buyers must provide an ID. Why do all politicians lie about everything?

The taxpayers should pay for mobile drug testing units to pull to all state legislatures and to Congress and test every elected official and their entire staffs so “the People” could see what illegal habits our tax money is supporting and expose the hypocrisy.

Who is arguing for them being sold to children? The only reason they are is because Congress has failed to regulate the industry.

you're a crook that works for big pharma 100-200K or more k illed by Pharma drugs each year 500K that end up addicted to hard drugs because of Pharma drugs but you crooks continue to attack Weed that helps so many people

Nobody is saying it should be sold to children. Nobody. What people are saying is that government needs to fuck off when it comes to individuals bodies. You have no authority over somebody else and what they choose to do with their own body. None. Absolutely none.

Alcohol are in these same stores. Are they getting booze as well?? There are common sense regulations that don't restrict rights and freedom. It all comes down to public use. I don't like to smell it when I am at the mall but in a adult type settings with rules, why not!!!

These unlicensed products are killing businesses that actually pay for licensing to be able to manufacture and sell these to qualified patients. It’s all the same plant and we need to recognize this so hemp/cannabis has a place for medicinal purposes. This plant truly saves lives

Regulate dont ban

No American seriously believes children, outside of medical conditions, should be sold to children. Look, I’m a conservative libertarian, but this, doctor, is a straw man argument.

This is a losing issue for Right “Kids,” aren’t allowed to buy vapes, or alcohol, yet I consistently see “kids,” with vapes, & not so much alcohol anymore, & that’s primarily because it’s so easy for them to still purchase vapes, despite it being illegal…

Fuck off loser. You're just paid off by lobbyists

why are you always using the kids as shields?

Were you this concerned over the opioid epidemic, or nah, Doctor DeepPockets?? Your hypocrisy, is astounding!!

No one is trying to sell THC to children EXCEPT drug cartels. Legalize it so it can be safely regulated and stop the cartels. DUH

You can't overdose or get alcohol poisoning from THC. 🤣
