West Virginia Senate Bans Sex-Change Drugs for Minors

The West Virginia State Senate has voted 32-2 to ban the prescription of sex-change drugs to minors, reversing a previous decision made two years ago. This legislative shift is attributed to significant political changes and grassroots conservative activism that led to the election of Senator Randy Smith as Senate President. In Georgia, the Senate passed a bill banning THC-infused drinks, raising concerns about the potential impact on the cannabis industry. The amendment to the bill, which was originally intended to limit THC content, resulted in a complete ban on THC beverages, reflecting heightened scrutiny over the substance's impairing effects. Both legislative moves are part of broader discussions on health and safety concerns regarding minors and public consumption of cannabis products. The developments in both states highlight a growing trend toward more conservative policies on these issues.
