I feel like a lot of the blends that might disappear will be using the deeming regs as an excuse to drop a blend that isn't as profitable without having to take the blame from the consumer.
Will Deeming Regs Hit The Grassroots Smoker?

I used to wonder how pipe tobacco made much money until I found out how dedicated some people are to buying enough tobacco to protect them against a future where people live a thousand years and farms don't exist anymore.
We’ve legalized weed in Canada, and there is certainly no halo effect where people stop villainizing smokers.
It wasn’t legalized out of a libertarian acceptance to live and let live. It wasn’t legalized as a movement to accept a diversity of choices and lifestyles. That was just the dishonest marketing. There is still an accepted lifestyle; an approved one. Weed is approved, and tobacco isn’t.

Sadly you may be right. America used to have more of a libertarian streak (that’s libertarian with a lower case “l”), but I feel that the country is quickly throwing freedoms away for the illusion of safety, and becoming more dependent on legislators to govern not the state, but individuals’ choices. We may not be far behind you if things keep taking this tack.
Are you trying to make me sad @mso489 ??? Cause that's what you did. You made me sad. I'm sad now...
I think a large part of the cancer-rate difference between tobacco and cannabis is the very many chemical additives that are in the manufactured-cigarette tobacco. I'm sure they will begin to be added to cannabis once the cigarette companies have gotten sales of their new product legalized in more states.
didi', you're right. Gotta keep this upbeat, especially now.
I went to high school with that guy. He drove a van.
YO YOU KNEW SQUIRREL’S BROTHER?????!
yeah I will never forget in pathology class during the cancer lessons finding there was a rare but nasty bladder cancer that only people who worked with a specific industrial solvent and cigarette smokers would get. I looked up the list of additives in cigs and that solvent was one of them. There is some nasty shit in those things.
Yeah, but that 600 million is for the state to line their pockets. Do you expect them to save it? No, they can't. It burns a hole in their pocket and falls out, if they don't spend it. Besides, they deserve your money. Strongly written with sarcasm.
I've never smoked marijuana but that's mostly because I spent 21 years in the Coast Guard and there was this whole "war on drugs" things and cannibas being illegal. (I have actually picked up bales of the stuff on undisclosed beaches though).
On the other hand, if it was made legal, I wouldn't have anything against possibly trying it.

As for me at first, we must legalize CBD flowers.
Have the deeming regs come into effect? And have any blends dissappeared because of them?
Not yet. As of now, I believe the deadline is some time in 2021, though I don't recall exactly when. There has been at least a small glimmer of hope that some popular post-2007 blends will remain. There was a post here some time ago quoting a statement by one of the guys at one of the larger pipe tobacco companies stating that they were jumping through the hoops to keep at least one of those post-2007 blends on the market. There have been various estimates of the cost of the FDA application for post-2007 tobacco products, being anywhere from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars. Obviously, the former would be a relatively small cost, but the latter could likely be insurmountable from a standpoint of cost-effectiveness for many blends.
In any event, we can certainly look forward to increasingly strict "tobacco control" in the future.
Cigar victory recently. Unknown how it plays for us...

Footnote: Keeping old folks in good morale is not an easy matter. So they don't spend their last years staring at the floor and not saying hello back to anyone. If a glass of sherry or a bowl of tobacco would help, I doubt it would shorten anyone's life, rather probably prolong it. Save the Puritan ardor for the young folks so they'll have a long way to go, and leave the long-timer's alone. My dad used to smuggle a bottle of sherry to my ninety-some-year-old great aunt in the religious old folks home. It helped her, but too many old gents gathered there and got rowdy, so no more sherry for her.
I like the biography of my weed use, in posts above. Especially me in my stoned frog mode. I'm a changed man.
