Also just wanna say I’m still not well adjusted socially, didn’t mean to stir an old pot of chili either. I really appreciate you helping me get this job here, I wish we had stayed in touch. If I didn’t go thru with this I’d either be homeless or working at McDonald’s. @FicklePickle

I have to point out that the government has very little to do with what is or isn’t considered good science. That is up to other scientists or “peers” as they are called. Government just sometimes funds scientists, does not police them. Science as we know it today is a self policing system.

Pay to publish is a thing, but money doesn’t buy peer review. (ETA: at reputable publications)

In no way am I desiring to see anyone in jail
That being said,
The part that is confusing to me is why they just seize the products, and not immediately arrest all who are involved.
If a guy slings crack out of his house, they don’t just take the crack…

a lot of state require proof of intent/criminal knowledge to successfully convict someone. The people raided in Greensboro had the charges dropped.
In Catoosa county, GA, they’re telling the stores the stuff is illegal first so they seemingly have to make the decision to keep selling it anyways

Yeah we have seen this quite a bit in the raids that have happened or the warning to a shop for example to get rid of everything…
Definitely different tactics then someone selling crack… Most the time there are no criminal penalties for delta 8 thc or something alike it.

I mean, why bother, they already seized the cash and the drugs, they got what they wanted and dont want extra paper work.

It’s the same thing here in Utah. We just had legislation pass saying lawmakers and the head of the Ag division over hemp and cannabis can make regulations and rulings behind closed doors and without as much as public comment. We also have the head of the hemp & cannabis division acting as the head chemist for the state and has been heard on multiple occasions that CBD only has “placebo effects”.
Their govt just authorized+funded a bit of Mechoulam’s research, didn’t have much involvement past that… y’know, the same way that William O’Shaughnessy, Robert Cahn, Roger Adams, David Watson, etc did it for the most part.

This sounds like it is limited to “medical claims” and not targeted toward the cannabinoids in particular.
“In addition to the violations related to FDA-regulated products containing delta-8 THC, several of the warning letters outline additional violations of the FD&C Act, including marketing CBD products claiming to treat medical conditions in humans and animals, promoting CBD products as dietary supplements, and adding CBD to human and animal foods. CBD and delta-8 THC are unapproved food additives for use in any human or animal food product, as the FDA is not aware of any basis to conclude that the substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or otherwise exempt from food additive requirements. One of the letters expresses concerns regarding CBD products marketed for food-producing animals, and the potential safety concerns related to human food products (e.g., meat, milk, eggs) from animals that consume CBD, as there is a lack of data on safe CBD residue levels…”
