It\u2019s been said that if you want to understand a government\u2019s priorities, watch not what it says\u2014but what it rushes to outlaw.<\/p>\n

During Alabama\u2019s 2025 legislative session, lawmakers didn\u2019t prioritize health care expansion, better schools or solutions for our dangerously overcrowded prisons. They didn\u2019t tackle child poverty, rising housing costs or the rural hospital closures threatening entire regions of the state. Instead, they staged a moral pageant, rushing to pass bills banning flavored vapes and hemp-derived products. For some legislators, this wasn\u2019t just easy\u2014it was a cakewalk. And not in the watered-down modern sense, but in the original, subversive meaning of the word.<\/p>\n

The cakewalk was born on the plantations of the antebellum South. Enslaved African Americans created the dance as a covert act of resistance\u2014an exaggerated, stylized parody of their white enslavers\u2019 rigid formality and puffed-up self-importance. They mimicked the stiff postures, the smug struts and the ridiculous airs of the plantation class. The enslavers, oblivious to the mockery, judged the contests and handed out cakes as prizes, never realizing the joke was on them. What began as satire became cultural entertainment, was whitewashed through minstrel shows, and eventually transformed into a word we now use to mean something effortless. But in truth, the cakewalk was a performance put on to please power while concealing deep contempt.<\/p>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Take House Bill 8, Alabama\u2019s new vape ban. Touted as a measure to protect children, it criminalizes the sale of flavored vape products in convenience stores and gas stations\u2014places where adults have legally purchased them for years. If you\u2019re an adult, even a veteran trying to quit smoking with a flavored vape, you\u2019ll now find those products swept from shelves across the state. They won\u2019t even be available at Piggly Wiggly\u2014a chain whose name itself echoes racist caricatures from minstrel shows.<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t just about personal choice\u2014it\u2019s about livelihoods. Alabama\u2019s 4,500+ convenience stores, many operated by Indian and Pakistani Americans, don\u2019t simply sell flavored vapes; they depend on them. These business owners, who often lease their stores from petroleum companies, provide essential goods and services to underserved communities and collectively the convenience stores and the petroleum industry, employ more than 60,000 people across the state. This law hits them hardest, stripping away a vital revenue stream with no regard for economic fallout.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s House Bill 445, the supposed hemp regulation bill. In reality, it\u2019s a sloppy, hastily passed effort to ban hemp-derived cannabinoids like THC-A\u2014products that are federally legal and commonly used by veterans with PTSD, cancer patients, and others seeking relief from pain and anxiety. HB445 is so poorly written that even supporters struggled to explain what it actually does. Now we know why: the bill wasn\u2019t about safety. It was backed by the cannabis lobby, whose goal is to stamp out competition for Alabama\u2019s medical marijuana program\u2014if there ever comes a time when the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission actually follows the law in awarding licenses. They didn\u2019t ask for a level playing field. They asked for monopoly protection\u2014and the Legislature delivered.<\/p>\n

Defenders of the bill claim it\u2019s a commonsense compromise, but that\u2019s not true. What it really does is eliminate the most accessible and effective forms of hemp for thousands of Alabamians\u2014especially those who depend on smokable or vapeable formats for fast, affordable relief. That\u2019s not moderation. That\u2019s prohibition wrapped in PR.<\/p>\n

And no, critics of the bill aren\u2019t throwing tantrums because \u201ctheir side didn\u2019t win.\u201d They\u2019re angry because small businesses are being shuttered, jobs are being lost, and veterans are being told to take a number and get in line for pills that don\u2019t work. Dismissing these concerns as \u201churt feelings\u201d is not just smug\u2014it\u2019s dishonest.<\/p>\n

The majority of Alabamians don\u2019t want these laws. Even lawmakers are urging Governor Kay Ivey to veto the bill. A disabled veteran named Josh wrote that if HB445 becomes law, the products that allowed him to live with dignity and manage his pain will vanish, leaving him with nothing but ineffective pills and a diminished quality of life. Another store owner warned that the bill would shut his doors permanently. But lawmakers weren\u2019t listening\u2014not to veterans, not to business owners and certainly not to science.<\/p>\n

Because listening doesn\u2019t win headlines. Compassion doesn\u2019t stir up a base, and nuance never plays well in a 15-second soundbite.<\/p>\n

This year, Alabama\u2019s lawmakers didn\u2019t govern. They performed. They strutted through a session filled with symbolic crackdowns and moral grandstanding. They passed laws that hurt people\u2014not by accident but by design. And like the enslavers watching the old cakewalk, they mistook mockery for honor, and spectacle for substance.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s be honest: Alabama doesn\u2019t need a governess\u2014it needs a business-minded Legislature. One that understands this state and its people can\u2019t thrive without strong, healthy businesses, both large and small. The hemp bill alone will shut down hundreds of small shops and erase thousands of jobs. And for what? So a few lawmakers can posture for the cameras?<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s time some of them lost their jobs.<\/p>\n

When will the business community wake up and realize that many of these lawmakers take your money, shake your hand and then vote against your interests? This last session didn\u2019t just highlight the culture war\u2014it exposed how powerless business has become in a Legislature more obsessed with punitive politics than prosperity.<\/p>\n

A cakewalk, indeed.<\/p>\n
