This, in turn, would mean that the hottest cannabinoid currently found on the U.S. market, Delta-8 THC, would probably be treated as a schedule I controlled substance by the DEA. This is because Delta-8 THC, which is not expressed in sufficient concentrations in most hemp cultivars to make its extraction economically viable, is produced through a chemical reaction initiation by a catalyst that converts hemp-derived CBD (“Hemp CBD”). As such, Delta-8 THC would be a “synthetically derived THC” substance, in accordance with the Rule.

Yes but it isn’t a cb1 agonist like d9, d9 doesn’t bind at all to the cb2 d8 binds to both so when it comes to receptor affinity they are not the same

What about semisynthetic?

Delta(9)-THC is a CB1 and CB2 receptor partial agonist. It is not exclusively selective for CB1
We’ve gone over all of this so many times lmao

Now again I’m sure it will eventually be illegal and I’m sure if the DEA wants to they will do whatever but as far as the law goes, they have to do some stuff for it to actually be illegal I think

I’m not going to jail for low hanging fruit but don’t you really think if the dea wanted to go after someone federally. They would go after someone like cookies or curaleaf. I mean think of the seizure money the dea could get if they went after some of the big d9 brands.
D9 isn’t federally legal in any state

Under drug code 7370 which has exemptions…
“Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012,”[7] Cannabimimetic Agents were added to Schedule I of the CSA. The term “Cannabimimetic Agents” refers to a substance that is a cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) agonist. Under this Act, scheduling was performed using binding studies and functional assays for the specific chemical structural classes listed in the law. This greatly simplified the type of scientific data that is needed to evaluate these substances for control in Schedule I. FDA has been able to evaluate 16 cannabimimetic substances for CSA control by this simplified approach. We have also applied a comparable approach to evaluating 13 new cathinones (the so-called “bath salts”) and several new CNS stimulants/hallucinogens for control relying on reduced amounts of scientific data. These are highly dangerous substances, and FDA determined that these substances, sold on the street as substitutes for other controlled substances, in addition to producing euphoria and hallucinations, were responsible for other behavioral and toxic effects that are typical of cannabinoids and CNS stimulants. Reported adverse effects included paranoia, panic reactions, confusion, insomnia, agitation, and memory loss. Reported severe toxic effects have included convulsions and coma with hyperthermia, tachycardia, diffuse bleeding, acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, and anuria.
The emergence of the synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones, as well as a number of new tryptamine derivative substances with CNS hallucinogenic properties, has increased our focus on these products in recent years. In 2012, the first of the synthetic cannabinoids (cannabimimetic substances) and tryptamine derivatives with CNS hallucinogenic properties and new stimulants were scheduled.

Sythetic cannabinoids are cannabimimetic substances and are defined by congress
D8 isn’t a synthetic cannabinoids it’s a hemp derived cannabinoid
Let me ask a more direct and difficult question.
Do you think they care?
Doesn’t matter if they care there’s precedents set that the dea cannot enforce an unscheduled drug

I hope you are right. I do.
They sure didn’t care when we were medical in California. But maybe I’m too old school because bam they sure hit us.

You should all stop rewriting the same dissertations on the legal semantics of this, because that’s not the reason why D8 will get rekt. The crackdown will happen because it’s competing with too many powerful interests. FFS
Do you really all forget what “vapegate” actually targeted? Nicotine vapes, even when cannabis/hemp vapes were the cause. It was a convenient enough excuse to take out competition, and raise the barrier to entry right as the first FDA approved tobacco vape was set to enter the market.

Anyone find the d8 fentanyl carts yet??
Just one hit takes all the pain away.
Or can we get d8 bath salt carts for those days you just wanna eat raw meat like human facial tissue…
I got a good one. D8 ghb carts for those days you wanna ride a moped if you know what I mean. Few puffs of the d8 ghb and you forget you ever slept with a chick you find fun but never want your friends to see you on…

I agree that big money will come in and strut like none other on us all and I’m doing all I can to support people who need to keep adjusting with the news. Diluted products I feel are safer than most. Don’t be caught selling carts imo
If your exit is determined by what’s on the news, then you’ll be too late.
