A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online.

A letter dated March 20 addresses the consequences of Republican lawmakers’ choice to legalize hemp production in the 2018 omnibus Farm Bill — a decision that perhaps inadvertently led to a multibillion-dollar market in intoxicating cannabis products that are arguably federally legal.

Now, the attorneys general want Congress to shutter the market it helped create. In the new Farm Bill, they want the legislature to enshrine in statute the idea that intoxicating cannabis is not federally legal — contrary to what the law currently states.

    We’ve had some delta-8 edibles that up the concentration so high it’s silly. We were cutting them in half and that was getting us higher than some delta-9 stuff. Then we noticed that the bag actually recommends a whole one wtf. If those fucking things are legal, I don’t know why we’re arguing about the rest.

    There’s some new workarounds on the market that take it further. The law is that you can’t have any more than 0.3% delta 9 by dry weight. Well, 10mg / 0.003 = 3.3g, so you can pack 10mg of delta9 into a gummy as long as its dry weight is about 3g, which isn’t much.

      Some of the THCa stuff has gotten me couch-lock high, but I agree with RagingRobot, the high doesn’t feel the same. I’ve tried many different THCa/THCo, Delta 8, and Delta 10 products and the overarching trend with all of them was a high that typically only lasted 30 mins (compared to an hour with Delta 9) and they’re almost always just an intense head high that makes me feel uncomfortably stuffy. I haven’t had a single non-delta 9 product that felt anything close to the more natural high’s you get from the various types/blends of Delta 9.

        Thca=∆9. I avoid the rest (∆8, 10, etc.) because of the chemicals used in processing.

          3 Tall Pines Farm does not use chemicals in their extraction process, if you are looking for a chemical free company.

          They specialize in a heat/pressure-only extraction process and include COA’s for solvents and residuals to prove their products are clean.

        Have you tried THCjd? It tends to be more potent. If anything, it needs to be brought back a little on some of the gummies out there.
