I was reading about the cannabinoid delta 8, an isomer of THC (delta 9). Supposedly it’s federally legal, and legal in most states depending on the wording of state law. It’s a naturally occurring cannabinoid in hemp, so it generally gets treated like CBD under the law rather than synthetic compounds.
Who’s tried it here? Thoughts? Supposedly it’s a weaker intoxicant than delta 9, but with similar uplifting effects on mood and body.
i bought it at a stand in the mall in a red state. i was shocked it’s legal and all in the mall. they have fun flavors. i’m not sure it’s all that different than the effects of marijuana, but also find the effects of vaping marijuana to be pretty subtle until i cough uncontrollably and want to die.
I missed this thread when it was created. It’s legal here and there is a store two blocks from my house.
I actually prefer this to what I could get in Colorado. Everything there is like 22% THC, and I’m a lightweight. Delta 8 still has a nice buzz without putting me on the couch for four hours.
To me (YMMV) it’s basically the same as ‘regular’ weed, just less strong. It’s probably really similar to the schwag that everyone smoked in the 1960s, in terms of potency.
If you’re used to (and like) the current crop of weed that’s 20%+ THC, this stuff won’t excite you. It’s like vodka vs beer.
There is a good point in there about how it’s made and potentially nasty things in the final product. You do want to look up the companies and make sure they are running lab tests to check for those things. And yeah, they could lie, it’s a bit of cat and mouse trying to find a brand you trust.
I forgot what brand I have, haven’t bought any in quite some time.
