    Alabama just passed a new law called Act 385. It goes into effect on July 1 and will restrict hemp-derived THC products. This includes Delta 8, Delta 9, and other cannabinoids.
    Here is what the law will do:
    • Ban all THCA flower, and almost every Hemp-THC product.

    • Limit THC serving size and total content per package to only 10mg.

    • Block all direct to consumer shipping and delivery

    • Require local approval for any business license

    One shop I went into, Roebuck Smoke, said he was gonna close up his shop.

    He also sold all that Hookah and vape stuff too but said this law was gonna kill his business.

    My company is the official scorecard sponsor of that course. They made me such an incredibly inexpensive offer I couldn't resist.

    We've received zero business out of it to date and I imagine that will continue until our contract ends at the end of 2026. :shrug:

    It was Roebuck and Mountain View but they threw in Oak Mountain and one other course I can't remember the name of "for free" for like $750 all in. They caught me right as I was trying to ramp up my advertising and had a budget allocation I wanted to use.

    Part of me thought that I should just pay for it and then have the ad have nothing to do with my company. Just put a friend's face on it and make it just be a joke. Still might!

    i [sadly] did not go to Dave last night but everything I've heard is the new amphitheater is awesome. It looks pretty cool to me. I am a little confused why everyone in this thread hates it so much.

    Location alone makes it a trillion times better than Oak Mountain.
