"While Tennessee sits on the sidelines of marijuana legalization, Tennesseans are choosing Delta-8, a psychoactive cannabis product nearly identical to marijuana. The two are isomers—chemical compounds with the same formula but different atomic arrangements—that offer similar mental effects with medicinal and recreational applications.

Since legalizing CBD oil in 2015, the Tennessee state legislature has failed to pass any laws legalizing medical or recreational cannabis. Tennessee has become a national outlier, one of five states in which marijuana is not legal for any purpose, not decriminalized, and potentially a felony. The state continues to widely enforce consequences for possession, reporting 30,781 marijuana-related arrests in 2019. Meanwhile, neighbors like South Carolina and Alabama are poised to legalize medical marijuana this year. Mississippi did it last November. While Tennessee stalls, residents turn to alternatives."

1. So, overall...

it looks like things are moving in the right direction. It also looks like the MORE Act would expedite things if congress can manage to get it passed and the president signs it

Delta 8 has been a miracle for me.

2. The south is protecting their liquor businesses.

They like being mean drunk. Cannabis makes people lean nicer.
