I am aware of the very real effect of full spectrum hemp extract on Autism and I think that should be one of the best and most widespread uses for it. I am still waiting for an autistic spectrum relative's federal legal situation(drug tests) to finish up after many years so they can try it for the first time. I think it could be a life changer for them. My pessimism here comes only from the business side, not the science side at all.
I also am not a fan of corporate America's version of "social equity". "Get woke, go broke" is a well known saying now for a reason. I'd like to see CW drop the B corp designation, donate to an appropriate charity when it makes sense, and stop giving away money, products, and company IP based on sexual preference and skin color. Corporate wokeness is just racism and bigotry and was supposed to be illegal in America. I grew up in a genuinely multicutural way, in one of the most multicultural neighborhoods in America, with friends and girlfriends of all races, so the fake woke shit is just nails on a chalk board to me. Gay people are not victims who deserve free money just because they are gay and it's not ok to give away shareholder IP to farmers just because they are Black farmers and not White or Asian farmers.
I honestly can't believe I've found my self explaining this stuff to adults who run million or billion dollar corporations in 2024, but here we are, that's our country now, a confused cult. I never expected Big Tobacco to be involved here, and am surprised I stuck around after they showed up. However, if they can stick to CW's original mission, I am all for their redemption. This company's social goals were originally supposed to be about disabled children and adults who lacked access to the plant. That is a mission I can respect. Those people really do need the products and support. I wont be lead astray like the kids today though into cheering for a social philosophy that I know is the exact opposite direction of where the country was headed 15-25 years ago, when we were much more on the right track. I want to see the original mission succeed and will criticize deviation from that, especially when it is morally bankrupt and detrimental to shareholders.
