The article doesn't talk about this, but the most mind blowing thing about the "CBD craze" to me is that hemp flower is now legal in all 50 states, and despite what people will tell you ("you can't get high off hemp; it doesn't have THC; it doesn't have enough THC to get you high") it definitely can get you high. It won't get you high in the same way that Modern Engineered Marijuana (TM) will (read: it won't make you go crazy), but marijuana of the 1970's is basically legal everywhere, and you will get stoned if you smoke it.
Flower is typically tested for compliance against the psychoactive delta9-THC in most states (not in all states though), which ignores the THCA content. But THCA is converted to delta9-THC when heated/"decarboxylated", which is a pretty big loophole.
These communities [1][2] are buying ounces of weed through the mail.
A better example is probably this 17 gram edible [3]. At 0.3% d9-THC, that's a ~5mg dose of psychoactive THC per package. You can buy these all over the US in states like Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky... Places not exactly known to be "weed friendly". See this map [4].
Pot has basically been legalized everywhere and people just don't know about it yet.
