15:53:20 From Owen A to Everyone:
	Cannabis isn't intoxication off the plant I think red states are regulating commerce not behavior
15:53:29 From Owen A to Everyone:
	Intoxicating*
15:55:56 From Owen A to Everyone:
	There are a lot of USDA programs for minority farmers. It would be nice if the regulated system could lean on them too

15:58:09 From Shawn DeNae Wagenseller to Everyone:
	What if hemp grown for consumption is able to sell to I502 processors that are then allowed to sell the non-THC hemp based products broadly and into I502?
15:58:33 From Scott Wheat to Everyone:
	A lot better than what we have now
16:03:40 From Owen A to Everyone:
	I'm not in the intoxicant game. I don't think my ideal target audience wants to get their products from the equivalent of a liquor store. Particularly when the same products can be easily obtained online
16:05:55 From Scott Wheat to Everyone:
	We trust grocery stores to age gate booze, but not full spectrum CBD.
16:12:36 From Jessica Pichardo (she/her) - Canna Luz/The Cannabis Alliance to Everyone:
	Cannabis retailers in WA state hit around 96% success rate with age restricting at the door, well above tobacco and alcohol age gating at around 75%.

16:15:22 From Jerry Whiting to Everyone:
	I'd like a endpoint where small family farms can sell their hemp products at farmers markets. Hard cider, beer, and wine is allowed. Age gated.

16:16:13 From Chris Girard to Everyone:
	No one has an issue with Age Gating on either side. Most are doing so on their own
