I downloaded H.R. 4141 and had Chat GPT summarize it and here's the output told me:Β
"This bill does not explicitly ban CBD or THC drinks β but it gives FDA the power to effectively eliminate hemp-derived THC beverages unless strict limits, age gates, and retail controls are adopted."Β
Well, who's in charge of that? How do we make that happen? We need to be very vocal about this bill!!
