It’s not exactly a bill that everyone is rallying around, and for good reason. But should the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, a new cannabis legalization bill led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, actually make it through, it would finally allow interstate sales for cannabis products, something that has been a sticking point for US legalized locations.
The new cannabis legalization bill by Schumer would allow interstate sales, which would mean a better product selection for everyone. And, of course, the general legalization of cannabis federally. But we’re not there yet, and until that happens, we’re still happy to provide you with great products like delta-8 THC, an alternate THC to delta-9, which leaves users more clear-headed and energetic, and doesn’t cause the same anxiety. While we wait for legalization on all fronts, take a look at our array of delta-8 THC, delta 10, THCO,THCV, THCP, THC-O & HHC deals, and be glad that many cannabis products are already accessible.
What’s the deal right now with interstate cannabis sales?
If you’ll notice, right now the cannabis industry in America is fractured by state. California cultivators can sell to Californian producers, and Californian producers can create products for the California market. But a California company cannot sell products either directly to consumers in another state, nor to producers in another state. This means that each legalized state functions as its own country, with its own private market.
The whole reason for this, is the discrepancy between state and federal laws in the US. The Constitution has a Commerce Clause in Article 1. This clause gives the government (Congress) the ability to regulate commerce laws between the US and other countries, as well as between states of the country, (and Native American tribes). What this means, is that if a product crosses a state line, it falls under the regulation of the federal government. So if the federal government finds it illegal…
Does this mean a cannabis company can’t exist in two states? No, luckily not. And if you’ve been to enough cannabis product sites, you’ve probably noticed that they don’t allow purchases online, but rather, allow you to find the closest location to where you are, where their products can be found. If you’re thinking, ‘I see tons of US sites selling products online with no regard to where they’re sent’, these sites are illegally operating. This doesn’t mean they can’t provide good products either, but it also means they can be dicey, might use bad ingredients, and likely have no oversite or useful 3rd party safety testing.
