mmmmm, getting tired of this. No, “marijuana” is actually nothing - it’s a racial slur slang word from early 1900’s American yellow journalism.
Cannabis is hemp, hemp is cannabis. 100%. Very simple! Cannabis plants grown to conform with nonsensical government mandates are just cannabis plants with lower amounts of THC. Not only that, the medical efficacy of non-THC cannabis is basically crippled by the exclusion of naturally-occuring THC.
From what I’ve read in the medical journals, including 1% or more THC with the CBD and other cannabinoids makes the product more effective for all medical problems. Including even 1 or 2% of THC typically makes the CBD far more effective, requiring a much lower dose of CBD for efficacy, and also reducing side effects over plain CBD meds.
“Marijuana and hemp are the same plant. They’re both cannabis sativa. It’s just a matter of what molecules the plant is dominant in. Marijuana produces large amounts of THC, which is psychotropic, which provides the high. And then hemp is typically dominant in either CBD, cannabidiol, or another cannabinoid called CBG, cannabigerol.”

As usual government, any government, can’t see the easy solution, so it goes for the most catywonked solution that doesn’t work. If they want to stop illicit grows, all they have to do is ease the tax burden and insane regulations for legal grows. Pot sells cheap as illegal and you know what you’re getting. Why buy illegal? Easy. But instead they try to bust their way out of the problem and keep marijuana prices much higher than illegal’s. And now redneck sheriffs and bored FBI are raiding armored cars they think are carrying money from pot sales. At this rate the pot business will go broke and pot will be back up at $1500 to $2500 a pound insuring more illegal grows.

yes, I was told by some entrepreneurs that it’s currently not possible to produce soil-grown cannabis in the Massachusetts industry - under existing regs. So forget living soil organics, that’s off the table. You’ll have to do it yourself, as thousands of people are doing.
The gameplan is pretty easy to see - they didn’t really “legalize” commerce, just possession and limited non-commercial cultivation. Instead of legitimizing the existing businessmen and women, they kept them illegal and implemented a new, parallel supply chain. Only investors with $2 million or more were able to enter this new cannabis oligopoly.

I wish this bill was going to do something useful - not much here IMO. Instead of eliminating barriers to entry they’re going to loan public tax money to a small handful of entrepreneurs. They made it slightly easier to open cannabis cafes but under existing regs they’re going to be the lamest coffeehouses in the whole world.
You won’t be able to bring your own weed, or weed from the dispensary, or roll joints & smoke fat blunts, you’ll only be allowed to smoke a tiny hit through a pre-loaded single dose glass pipe.
