FYI: Delta-8 THC is LEGAL in all states - 'marijuana light'

I just learned about Delta-8 THC, the cousin to Delta-9 THC.
Delta-8 is legal because of the legalization of Hemp two years ago. Some chemists got busy and developed Delta-8. It can purchased online or at your local tobacco shop for those that don't have legal cannabis in your state.

It is made in all the same forms that Delta-9 THC is: vape, edibles, buds for smoking, tinctures...

It is considered marijuana light. You do get a buzz in the head and smooth in the body. I think of it as wine verses whiskey.

There are various videos about it on YouTube.

"How Some THC Is Legal — For Now"
In some ways, Delta-8 sounds too good to be true. But it isn’t. For people who want to feel the psychoactive effects of Delta-9, yet find it gives them paranoia or anxiety, Delta-8 is a quasi-legal option available online. And unlike Delta-9, Delta-8 is significantly cheaper, making it a viable option for some people looking for a short uplifting feeling without being intoxicated. But judging by how much attention Delta-8 has been getting by law enforcement, the trend might be short-lived. Despite the burgeoning success of Delta-8 over the past year, any day can be the cannabinoid’s last.

...but the last time, it was called JWH-018. It turned out to be far worse than weed, and now it's illegal too.

I may need to up the dose, even though I took 25 mg, as recommended.

It has helped my back pain quite a bit though. I was hoping for both!

But for getting high? I'll have to make an alternate plan.



Congratulations on easing the back pain.

but it helped my back pain for a while.

And then I tried it for sleep. Wow! It's almost as good regular THC edibles for sleep. I slept pretty well last night.
