Advocate Speaks Out Against Hemp Restrictions in Louisiana
Louisiana Resident Passionately Advocates to Rescind Hemp-Derived THC Restrictions
In this powerful testimony, speaker Tony Landry pleads with the Louisiana Office of Drug Control Policy to reconsider the recent restrictions on hemp-derived THC products.
Landry argues these regulations are deeply impacting vulnerable residents, especially veterans and patients dealing with chronic pain or disabilities. He emphasizes that hemp-derived THC is a necessity, not a luxury, for those seeking relief from conditions like PTSD and chronic pain.
Highlighting the plight of Louisiana veterans who have sacrificed for the state, Landry explains they now struggle to access these safe, legal alternatives to addictive medications. Beyond veterans, he details how high costs and reduced potency of legal cannabis are forcing many residents to turn to potentially unsafe, unregulated options.
Landry also points to the economic consequences, noting the hemp industry's potential to create jobs and revenue if allowed to thrive - as it has in other states. He urges the board to find a balanced approach that ensures public safety while restoring access to these critical relief products.
Appealing to the board's compassion and common sense, Landry asks them to rescind the hemp restrictions and support policies that meet the needs of Louisiana's most vulnerable citizens. This powerful testimony sheds light on the real human impact of these regulations.
What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you agree with Landry's arguments? I'd be curious to hear your perspective.

I don't follow politics but Tony Landry has my respect.
Delta-8 THC has been a life altering thing for my wife. She has Lupus and Degenerative Disk Disease.
I have seen one single Delta 8 gummies knock out a Lupus flare up in half a day. Before she tried it, a Lupus Flare would knock her down for days. She would spend 3-4 days going from the bathtub to the bed.
It has greatly increased her quality of life

I have stage 4 kidney cancer and used the delta 9 gummies for a host of reasons. The dispensaries are a ripoff and this legislation was put in place to force people into that market monopoly. This state is run by grifters.
