❌ SB86
Regulate and tax intoxicating hemp, drinkable cannabinoid product
Current Status: In House Committee (General Government)
Summary
SB86 regulates the sale of intoxicating hemp products by generally prohibiting their sale except at licensed dispensaries, establishes regulations for drinkable cannabinoid products, and imposes taxes on these products. The bill requires licensing for dispensaries and manufacturers, mandates testing of products, and sets penalties for violations.
Rationale
The bill imposes significant regulations and taxes on intoxicating hemp and cannabinoid products, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of personal liberty, free markets, and minimal government intervention. It restricts individual choices regarding consumption and increases government control over personal and economic activities.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over personal choices
- Potential for overreach in enforcement and regulation
- Economic burden on small businesses due to licensing and taxation
