I believe that he words that are screaming loud and clear to someone

that uses herbs are as follows:

 

Page 5:

 

Interstate movement:

 

" 2) Issue regulations that require that any plant, plant product,

biological control organism, noxious weed, article, or means of

conveyance imported, entered, to be exported, or moved in interstate

commerce be accompanied by a permit and a certification of

inspection and be subject to remedial measures necessary to prevent

the spread of plant pests or noxious weeds… "

 

NOTE: " Any plant or plant product " will include dried medicinal

herbs, as well as clean seeds.

 

If you make your own remedies, as most of us do, then this would be

detrimental to our trading between members. Or say you needed some

coltsfoot and didn't have any. Guess what you might not be able to

even grow your own.

 

Sorry to spout off but this really bites.
