"Dave, like how much pot did we put in the brownie mix, man?"

"Dave's not here, man."

Just how is it that a federal agency is supposed to regulate a product that is illegal under federal law?

Just about as stupid as thinking Guam would tip over if it got another big defense base. Democrats, seriously stupid people.

Shouldn’t Blumethal be standing on a train station platform somewhere?

Or marching in a Vietnam veterans’ parade?

"Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t enforce federal food safety standards on marijuana-infused food products that are available in the few states where marijuana has been legalized."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

While I think that accurate food labeling is necessary, the major constitutional problem with federally-mandated food labeling is the following imo. While the feds do have the interstate Commerce Clause power to require such labeling when food is traded across state borders, regardless what FDR's activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers when it decided in Congress favor in Wickard v. Filburn, the states have never granted Congress the power to regulate intrastate commerce which includes agricultural production. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the Supreme Court case opinions of justices who actually protected and defended the Constitution.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.r

"... Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said consumers want accurate information “to make smart choices”."

I wonder what Sen Blumethal's stance is on the labeling of GMO foods?
