“Kudos to the marijuana industry because they have put a bullseye on Delta 8 and the hemp industry.”
“We have a segment of the industry more political power, more money, and more power going after the little guy. It can only be because they don’t care.”
“They have to get hemp products out of the way first right? They cannot have a competitor the way they are spending money because they want us gone,” said Hometown Hero CBD Chief Strategist Cynthia Cabrera.
“It’s not all hippie activists anymore. It’s all corporate conglomerates, that are trying to capture a market through regulation or prohibition,” said Cabrera.
“Delta 8 made them aware that they had not captured a market despite spending millions of dollars.”
“They had not captured the market because there were alternative available.”
“They (marijuana industry) advocated the freeing the plant, the wholes plant. Whatever you could make with it get it out there and make it accessible to people, it’s natural we have a built in endocannabinoid system, and then marijuana gets corporatized and then no, no, no. There will be no cannabis products except our products.”
