McConnell has defended his opposition to psychoactive hemp derivatives as an attempt to “keep these dangerous products out of the hands of children,”
In his defense, he doesn’t want them to go work in the slaughterhouses while high - House GOP approve bill loosening Kentucky child labor law
So have we heard anything about him since he collapsed in his house and was taken to the hospital? Is he still alive?
I’m choosing to believe he’s dead until proven otherwise. Unless he’s suffering, then I’d prefer he be alive to suffer.

Moscow Mitch betrays a lot of things.
This article seems to miss that the ban has likely already killed the industry. The ban comes into effect by late 2026 and it takes a few months to grow hemp. I can’t imagine being a hemp farmer and hope that Congress gets their shit together and passes something that allows your crop to be sold. At this point I have to imagine most hemp farms have either pivoted or been sold off.
I suspect some big companies are going to scoop up these farms and in a few years once marijuana is federally legal they’ll switch to that.
McConnell screwed them once and while it doesn’t look like he’ll live to see it, he’s going to screw them again.
The ban comes into effect by late 2026
More specifically it comes into effect within a week of the election
A calculated political move knowing the average voter won’t realize it’s happening until after the election, and will forget about it by the next one
Someone forgot to pay their kickbacks
