We have 364 days to stop the McConnell hemp shutdown from making all hemp products - including non-intoxicating CBD oils and low-dose THC beverages - into Schedule 1 narcotics.
Here's the WDRB News story featuring my boss @jimhigdon.bsky.social @cornbreadhemp.bsky.social -- with a special guest appearance by my back! www.wdrb.com/news/kentuck...
Kentucky's hemp industry at risk as Senate bill seeks to ban THC products
The measure targets products with any detectible amount of THC, including non-intoxicating, full-spectrum CBD that is currently legal.

Hemp products that contain THC could be made illegal nationwide - as soon as next week - as Mitch McConnell uses the government shut down as leverage. Please repost this & share it with everyone you know! Link here to contact your reps: hempsupporter.com/bill/stop-he...
Book 41 of 2025: THE CORNBREAD MAFIA by @jimhigdon.bsky.social. Figured I’d learn a little Kentucky history while driving from Louisville to Chicago and back. For a trip to Amsterdam, no less. Subject matter appropriate! If you love true crime where you root for the criminals, this one’s for you. 📚👀
Becky Robison@rebb003.bsky.social · 11mo agoBook 40 of 2025: PEOPLE WITH NO CHARISMA by @jenteposthuma.bsky.social, translated by Sarah Timmer Harvey. Those of us writing books about dead parents gotta stick together, even if we’re writing fiction vs. nonfiction, and in Dutch vs. in English. This was great—bluntly funny, gently sad. 📚👀
my friend @jimhigdon.bsky.social doing big things

On Saturday, I had the honor of celebrating the illustrious career of Prof. Sam Freedman. I raised a few glasses with him, @jimhigdon.bsky.social, and @samindrakunti.bsky.social, among many other ancestors! My books wouldn't have been published without Sam's help! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/b...
I’m now among the humans on earth who have eaten at Meesh Meesh, and yeah — worth the hype.

They will tell you that puppy is a lab mix, but it is not a lab mix. And now you own a giant dog.
Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.
Have you ever flown while you were congested and then when the plane starts descending, it feels like your head might explode and then your head does explode and you’re walking around the airport with no head? That’s me at DFW right now.
Our Texan customers are not criminals, and neither are we — unless Texas makes us criminals.
Cornbread Hemp@cornbreadhemp.bsky.social · last yr.Our co-founder @jimhigdon.bsky.social had the privilege of testifying to the Texas House to save hemp products in Texas. Multiple bills threaten Texans' rights to receive hemp products direct to consumer, making it a felony. This is prohibition, and we're working to prevent that from happening.
One day, an airline will figure out to board their flights from back to front, but until then, the opposite of that.
Been listening to a lot of bebop jazz recently. My brain is not sophisticated enough to understand what’s going on structurally, but it just feels good.
I just got out of a 90-minute dentist appointment, and looks like I had more fun than Louisville fans during that time period.
Is KSR on BlueSky yet? #bbn
Cornbread Hemp@cornbreadhemp.bsky.social · last yr.This past Friday, we had the privilege of hosting KSR for a radio show in our new facility! We've had our friends from KSR out to our farm for shows before, but it was incredibly special to also welcome in fans from the community this time. Can't wait to do it again soon!

Kentucky-based @cornbreadhemp.bsky.social owner @jimhigdon.bsky.social said the company had invested $1 million into a new hemp beverage product that was set to launch in stores this month, but this ban would wipe out that investment and those of others in the hemp industry in Kentucky. #kyga25
