It’s funny to me that through some kind of legal loophole they’re selling strong delta-9 edibles in states where that is illegal and has been illegal for a long time. I mean that’s every state through federal law but it even seems to be happening in individual states that you wouldn’t necessarily expect
it is quite strange. they don't just sell d9 edibles in illegal states, in mine they literally sell real actual weed in the smoke shops
When d8-THC first started showing up in 2020 I thought it was the ultimate "fuck you" to the DEA because they were using the hemp farmers loophole.... I remember the DEA made a statement in early 2021 that they were going to stop this loophole, but they didn't....
then they started selling semi-synthetic shit that isn't even found in hemp, like THC-O and THC-P.... and the DEA still didn't do shit
then they literally just started selling fucking weed in stores man, last year. it's so fucking blatant man the headshops near me just have jars full of half lbs of skunk ass weed probably grown in california
the loophole is supposedly that the federal law specifically states "THC" as illegal, but not "THCa" which is the only thing that weed grows in the natural state. All weed is basically THCa until heated (decarboxylation) to THC.
it's such a bullshit loophole but they have not stopped it, which I believe means they intend not to, maybe Biden ordered the DEA to chill out who knows
Cannabis is still illegal in North Carolina! They can still technically send you to jail for having more than 14g of weed.

It's so bizarre.... I can go buy a fucking ounce from the neighborhood store.
