A lawyers take on delta 8

“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??

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.

10th Amendment states rights
I do acknowledge that the federal government hasn’t respected states rights in a long time but it doesn’t excuse the fact but they shouldn’t have any say in the matter

I’m curious to see how they treat smokable flower next month. Folks ship that stuff interstate and it’s not federally legal.

Are you talking about so called “hemp” flower??

I thought it was taboo here to talk about so called “hemp” over .3% d9thc cause we all know what that really is? You don’t want to be tarred and feathered in hot d8, do you?

Had the consult today with a hemp attorney in Las Vegas. he told me he sees d8 all over the strip and cops are not doing anything but said he is advising his clients in nevada (where I currently am) to stay away until further clarification as it can be interpreted as illegal.

I check that out in the am

D8: you probably won’t go to prison…but you might.

In a rec and medical state attorney recommends you stop it. What do you think attorneys in Texas said?

It’s not like I’ve been on the same page repeatedly telling y’all… You’re playing with fire at sub fire quality.

Don’t you remember when this scene was raided for water pipes and hand pipes?

I memba this.

Then this happened.

Then this happened.

And now we’re here back from all those lessons to risk our Smokeshop brethren again.

But noo! We don’t stop! Let’s get the federal government investigating…

Gonna be called Operation fake vapes.

And yet somehow, amyl nitrate and NO2 are still openly sold in porn shops.

One day I had to prove to all my wook homies back in Sarasota that they were huffing metals by shoving a cotton ball into the nozzle of their cracker. The sad groans could be heard 'round the world.

But hey, at least they filter their hippy crack now.
