They’re scattered across Tampa Bay — dispensary-like stores lined by glass shelves containing a colorful assortment of intoxicating products. Gummies, joints and vape cartridges promise consumers an unforgettable high. These shops aren’t marijuana dispensaries. But they sure look like them. After Amendment 3′s failure, small hemp retailers, which thrive in a legal gray area, may profit from a continued ban on recreational marijuana. Local vendors St. Pete 420, The Hemp Spot and Chillum Mushroom & Hemp Dispensary all expanded in the last year. More than 9,500 Florida shops , from gas station convenience stores to smoke shops, are licensed to sell marijuana-like products derived from hemp plants. Some hemp products, which consumers 21 and older can buy, meet the state’s definition of marijuana, but escape detection by regulators, a Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald investigation found. Others purchased by reporters were revealed to contain harmful levels of mold and pesticides. Since June 2023, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Safety has uncovered more than a million hemp products on store shelves that violated state law. Had Amendment 3 passed, hemp shops would have faced overwhelming corporate competition. Florida’s massive medical marijuana companies, which abide by strict product safety regulations, would have been able to sell pot to consumers without requiring a medical card. The amendment “gave all the control to huge companies,” said Micky Morrison, co-owner of St. Pete 420, a hemp dispensary. “There’d be no mom-and-pop pot shops, period.” The hemp industry lobbied fiercely against Amendment 3, alleging that it would create a corporate monopoly among the 28 companies already licensed to sell medical marijuana in the state. Gov. Ron DeSantis helped them win that fight, a partnership between “strange bedfellows,” cannabis attorney Zack Kobrin said. “It was less to do with hemp and more how to kill Amendment 3,” he said. But business owners wonder how long the freewheeling industry will escape federal or state regulations that could threaten their livelihoods. And health experts wonder about consequences for consumers, who can easily purchase marijuana-like products — without the same safety regulations imposed on medical marijuana companies. Related Articles Consumers looking for a marijuana-like “high” in Florida have two options. They can, with a licensed physician’s help, seek a medical card if they have a qualifying condition — think cancer, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder or comparable ailments. The process can cost hundreds of dollars. These cards allow consumers to shop at licensed marijuana dispensaries like Trulieve and Surterra. Without a card, consumers can walk into a smoke shop and find joints and edibles that, while not technically marijuana, contain similar intoxicating chemicals derived from hemp plants. Places like St. Pete 420 have capitalized on that easy access, declaring “no medical card needed” on storefronts. So what’s the distinction between hemp and marijuana? Per federal law, a hemp plant, and products thereof, must contain less than 0.3% of the specific intoxicating substance rich in marijuana plants — delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC. Any higher percentage makes it a marijuana plant. Both hemp and marijuana are cannabis plants. They look virtually identical. Delta-9 THC isn’t the only chemical hemp producers can harvest and replicate to create intoxicating products. Popular variants like delta-8 and delta-10 THC — considered less potent, but still psychoactive — are legal in larger concentrations. A state bill would have banned the sale of delta-8 THC, which helps make hemp stores profitable. But DeSantis vetoed that bill earlier this year, arguing it would devastate the thousands of small businesses that sell those products — and cementing his alliance with the hemp industry. Hemp businesses fear that a repeat of this year’s legislation could reemerge next year. But Kobrin said it’s not likely to go far. The hemp industry has aggressively organized, hiring influential lobbyists like Republican Party of Florida Executive Director Bill Helmich. If DeSantis stays in office, his advisers are partial to hemp’s interests, Kobrin said. “The hemp industry realized if they don’t organize, they’re dead,” Kobrin said. Republican state legislators will also likely wait for the White House and Congress to weigh in on hemp’s legality nationwide, Kobrin said. Congress is poised next year to update the farm bill, which legalized hemp-derived THC products, for the first time since 2018. The possibility of federal regulations has owners like Morrison and Jordan Meservey of Tampa Bay Hemp Co. holding their breath. “A (restrictive) federal law would effectively shut down anything,” Morrison said. Florida’s medical marijuana laws exclude all but the largest operators. That’s because medical marijuana companies must grow, process, distribute, market and sell their products in-house, without middlemen or contractors. An application to obtain a license already costs $146,000. And the state has so far distributed only 28 licenses — soon to be 50 — to companies with the cash to operate. Had recreational marijuana become legal, Florida’s rules favoring large operations likely would have remained, said Jeff Sharkey, founder of the Medical Marijuana Business Association of Florida. But the Legislature could have changed the laws to allow small businesses to enter the marketplace. The Trulieve-sponsored amendment that failed on this year’s ballot had to be narrow to pass state Supreme Court review, Kobrin said. It couldn’t have added opportunities for small businesses even if its authors wanted to. But the message that Amendment 3 was a cash grab by the state’s largest medical marijuana vendor at the expense of small businesses resonated with voters, Kobrin said. Some hemp shops, like Carlos Hermida’s Chillum Mushroom & Hemp Dispensary, with stores in Ybor City and St. Petersburg, are already shifting from exclusively selling knockoff pot. He thinks he could have remained afloat with the sales of other products, like legal mushrooms and kratom. Morrison thinks Amendment 3 could have been fatal for her business. “We’d be lucky to still be in business a year from now, if not two years from now,” she said. Medical marijuana companies abide by strict product safety regulations that help protect consumers and limit improper access, said Amie Goodin, a marijuana researcher at the University of Florida. Product labels must include detailed testing information and a recommended dosage. A separate regulator, the Office of Medical Marijuana Use, enforces those rules. By contrast, hemp products are required to display a certificate of analysis which includes independent lab test results and confirmation that the product does not contain contaminants like mold or pesticides. The Times/Herald investigation found that the labels provided for hemp products were inaccurate in shops across the state. The proliferation of hemp shops across the state, plus the little-known intoxicating chemicals that products could contain, means inspectors with Florida’s agriculture department are playing a game of regulatory “whack-a-mole,” even if more restrictions go into effect, Goodin said. Few large-scale studies have explored how chemicals that act as alternatives to marijuana, like delta-8 THC, affect the body, Goodin said. “It’s hard to provide guidance to the general public if we just don’t know,” she said. ©2024 Tampa Bay Times.

(AP) — ' playoff hopes are over earlier than at any point since 2015 when a coach was . The franchise's third different coach since then is busy trying to build for the future in his debut year. It certainly doesn't help that team officials are busy trying to sell pricey tickets for the scheduled to open in 2027. Brian Callahan said Monday he knows the NFL is a results-based business, but doesn't feel as if he's coaching for his job. The Titans (3-10) were eliminated by a , a week earlier than their and helped cost . “I’m not naive and I don’t like stick my head in the sand,” Callahan said. "I understand how all of it works, but that’s not anything I’ve focused on that.” Callahan said he was honest with the Titans, who now sit at the bottom of the AFC South. What's left is building a . “How we finish the season matters,” Callahan said. What’s working The defense. After one of the Titans' worst showings all season and with three starters out with injuries, the Titans defense held an opponent to a season low in points even if facing a backup quarterback. They also came up with two interceptions to help Tennessee win the turnover battle for a team that came in next to last in the NFL in turnover margin. The problem? All 10 points were allowed in the fourth quarter. Safety Amani Hooker said the defense can only focus on mowing their own grass, now more than ever with only four games left. Now the Titans must look themselves in the mirror because all of the NFL will see how they play. What needs help The offense couldn't find the end zone and finished with a season low in points. The Titans turned it over on downs twice inside the Jaguars 9 and managed only two Nick Folk field goals against what had been the NFL’s worst defense in yards allowed per game and next to last in points allowed. Callahan's decision to try a pass after a takeaway on the final play of the first half left Will Levis needing a shot in his right, throwing shoulder for the pain from a hard sack where rookie left tackle JC Latham was beaten. It's the same shoulder that sidelined Levis for three games with a sprained AC joint. Levis missed a wide-open Chig Okonkwo in the end zone. Late in the game, Levis could've thrown a quicker ball to Calvin Ridley, who also had room to run for the first down only to go out of bounds. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine couldn't haul in a pass on fourth down in the end zone where Ridley also was open. Stock up Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie. A key free agent signee in March, Awuzie had been out since Sept. 22 and on injured reserve with a groin injury. He returned and got the first interception for the Titans' defense — also his first this season. Stock down RT Nicholas Petit-Frere. The third-year lineman out of Ohio State is tied for the team lead with nine penalties, eight that have stopped drives. Two of those came against the Jaguars, the second on the Titans' final play turning a fourth-and-10 into fourth-and-15 before Levis's last-gasp incompletion. Injuries Callahan said he expects Levis will be OK after being able to finish the game, though he said they will know more Wednesday. CB Roger McCreary (shoulder) might be able to return after not practicing last week. Key number 1 — Two home games remain. Right now, the Titans are flirting with matching the franchise low for home wins at Nissan Stadium set in 2014 and 2015 during a 5-27 stretch where three of those wins came on the road. Next steps Show signs of life on offense. Only New England (17) and the Giants (14.9) are scoring fewer than Tennessee's 17.5 points a game this season. More points will be needed to beat Cincinnati in a rematch against Callahan's old boss Zac Taylor on Sunday. ___ AP NFL: Teresa M. Walker, The Associated Press
Not sure what to say at a holiday gathering? Here are 5 tips for ditching social awkwardnessRussia appears to be packing up military equipment at one of its bases in Syria, new satellite images show. They are the latest indication that Moscow is scaling down, if not withdrawing, its footprint from the country following the stunning collapse of the Assad regime. Images captured Friday by Maxar Technologies and obtained by Business Insider show two An-124 heavy transport aircraft at Russia's Hmeimim Air Base. The front of the planes are lifted, indicating that they are ready to load equipment or cargo. In another image of the Hmeimim base, a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter is seen being taken apart and likely prepared for transport, according to Maxar. The company said elements of an S-400 air-defense unit are also being prepared for departure from the weapon's previous deployment site near the coastal city of Latakia. Additional imagery collected Friday shows Russia's warships are still , a port city south of Hmeimim on the Mediterranean Sea. Several frigates, replenishment oilers, and a submarine could be seen at the facility earlier in the month, but they were all gone by Monday. Some of the vessels have been spotted several miles off the coast. It's unclear whether the warships will return to Tartus; their presence at sea could be for safety reasons rather than a full evacuation. The US has not confirmed any major Russian military withdrawal from Syria but has pointed out that some forces are, in fact, departing. "What we're seeing is a consolidation of assets, including some Russian forces leaving Syria," Sabrina Singh, the deputy Pentagon spokesperson, told reporters Wednesday. "What they're doing with their facilities and bases, that's for them to speak to." Analysts, likewise, have called attention to the latest activity. "A larger number of Russian transport aircraft can now be seen at Khmeimim," Michael Kofman, a Russia expert and senior fellow with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said in a social media post. "The S-400 battery is packing up for transport. While tactical aviation is still there, RF appears to be consolidating at Khmeimim and Tartus," he said. "In short, a withdrawal is under way." Even if Russia is moving forces out of its bases in Syria, it may only be a partial military withdrawal and not a complete evacuation. The new satellite imagery comes a day after Ukraine's military intelligence agency, known as the HUR, said Moscow was and has been flying multiple military transport aircraft between Hmeimim and Russia every day. BI was unable to independently verify Kyiv's assessment. Russia's military presence in Syria became tenuous last weekend as and ousted Bashar Assad, the country's longtime dictator. Assad has since fled to Moscow with his family. Russia supported Assad in Syria's civil war for years, in return securing a foothold in the country, but the rebels now have the upper hand. They control the province are located. The Kremlin is engaging in efforts of its facilities with the new Syrian leadership, but it's unclear if any arrangements are official. Losing both Tartus and Hmeimim would be a setback for the Kremlin, which to project its power across the region and beyond. Tartus is Russia's main naval base overseas, providing the country with critical access to a warm-water port. Moscow uses Hmeimim to move military forces in and out of Africa. That makes these bases strategically valuable. War analysts at the Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, on Thursday that Russia "is very likely hesitant to completely evacuate all military assets from Syria in the event that it can establish a relationship with Syrian opposition forces and the transitional government and continue to ensure the security of its basing and personnel in Syria."

Singaporean businessman Tan Kin Lian, former presidential candidate and former CEO of NTUC Income, shared an encounter with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) after a Facebook post that he said was meant to be in jest. Tan Kin Lian and CCP post On Oct. 20, 2024, Tan shared a picture of himself next to a sign that said "Party Member Activity Room" in both English and Chinese. The sign featured the hammer-and-sickle symbol of communism, which is also used as a symbol of the Chinese Communist Party, the ruling party of China. The post caption read, " I am now a member of the party in Guizhou." Guizhou is a province in Southwest China where Tan was presumably visiting while on holiday. MHA informs Tan On Dec. 13, Tan shared another post in relation to the Guizhou one. He said: I received this notice from the Ministry of Home Affairs. "Dear Mr Tan, 1. We refer to your public Facebook post dated 20 Oct 2024 with the caption “I am now a member of the party in Guizhou.” (the “Post”). Pursuant to section 108(1) of the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021, you are required to provide further information and documents about your relations with foreign principals to the Registrar of Foreign and Political Disclosures." Tan added: I gave this reply. "Dear MHA The post was made in jest. I am not a member of the communist party of China. I visited the premises of the party as a tourist." MHA confirms communication In response to a query from Mothership, MHA said: "Under section 108 of the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021 (FICA), the Registrar of Foreign and Political Disclosures is empowered to request for information from any entity or individual, including to ascertain a Singapore Citizen’s membership in foreign legislatures/foreign political organisations. The Registrar was made aware of Mr Tan Kin Lian’s Facebook post on 21 Oct 2024, where Mr Tan had commented publicly about his membership in a party in Guizhou, and had requested for more information on this. The Registrar has received Mr Tan’s reply and will be responding to him separately." FICA The Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act of 2021 was introduced in Parliament in Oct. 2021 and passed after a debate that lasted for about 10 hours. Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam spoke at length in support of the bill, elaborating that subversion of local politics is a serious issue, with the matter made worse with technological advances. He said that FICA is more calibrated than existing laws (at the time) that afforded powers to the authorities and security services but goes further in its extra-territorial reach, which is necessary for threats in an Internet age that can be spread through global platforms. Section 108 of the Act relates to the Power to Obtain Information. 108(1) reads: A competent authority may by written notice require any person (whether in or outside Singapore) to provide, within a period or at intervals specified in the notice, and in such form and manner as may be specified in the notice, all documents or all information or material (or both), for the purposes in subsection (2), such as documents or information or material about all or any of the following: (a) the membership of the person by individuals who are not citizens of Singapore; (b) relations with foreign principals; (c) the provision of voluntary labour, or voluntary professional services, to or for the benefit of the person by individuals who are not citizens of Singapore; (d) recurrent and capital expenditure for the administration and management of activities undertaken by the person which are directed towards a political end in Singapore. Therefore, the authorities have the power to obtain such information, whether or not that individual is involved in politics. Top image from Tan Kin Lian Facebook.
