I gotta say, it’s at least nice to have all of the articles about D8 in one spot rather than it floating in 18975461928798342 places all over the forum. Nice idea.

I’m just glad TN has been more cool than our neighbor states. Even though TN is waiting on daddy fed to do anything about legalization, it feels like most people in the state want it, and it doesn’t feel like they are targeting weed, d8, hemp, or other bullshit.

There’s a bill to legalize and regulate d8/HHC etc

Just not regular THC, which is weird. Middle finger to the west coast? Idk

I was surprised by the Bill in Hawaii not many until recently have even tried pushing D8 or anything besides cbd outside of the dispos. Ive only seen two places that sell d8 and only one has a sign or advertises. D8 for a long time had the lowest google search results here so its definitely one of the smaller markets and surprising it even got noticed.

Based on what I’ve seen in Oregon and Washington, a lot of people in rec states aren’t familiar at all

Looking like I should just back into the bushes slowly with delta 8 all the sudden

Reading through these articles literally makes me feel depressed and suicidal, virtually all of them are just spouting lies and half truths about Delta 8 THC. These people literally dont understand what they are even trying to say and yet they are in charge of legal policy surrounding it.

This genuinely feels like everyone around me is clapping as we hand the keys to the power station to a 5 year old child, truly beleiving that he will do a great job running it, and everyone is just staring at me in confusion because I keep babbling about how were going to all lose power within a week.

Here in Virginia, we have been hearing that Senator Emmett Hanger(R) has been deeply funded by the med folks and has completely gobbled up their instructions to decimate all cbd companies. Their flowers, tinctures , edibles all are poor quality and this was a “cya” moment. Let’s face it, why would I go to their dispos purchase some overpriced and overtaxed schwag flowers and weak ass edibles when I could go to the gas station and pick up some d8 gummies for $8 and get the same if not heavier effect? Yes, there are nasty d8 products out there, but once one find who has the best quality, one will come back and keep purchasing.

The med folks have humongous burn rates and this was the only way to stay afloat: RUINING SMALL BUSINESSES IS THEIR GAME.

Way too much tax money in Cannabis in AZ to let anyone have cheap hemp psychotropics… :roll_eyes:

We still need more long term research on D8 and HHC in my opinion, but outlawing it will make it worse.

The writing is on the wall folks! Get big, or get crushed. It really is sad for such a “commonwealth” state to make the wealth not so common…

You’re either common or wealthy here. These chads will die on their own swords. If its BM they want its BM they’ll get.

That’s a way better approach than the Virginia HB591. These numb-nuts won’t even allow full spectrum crude tinctures or even topicals now. This friends is deep reefer madness.

Agreed! I wonder what kind of penalties a BM approach to competition with the Chads would be. Ideally it would be a monetary penalty as you know the state wants that $$ but if they go down the same rabbit hole of criminality that they already know, it would be even sadder to lock people up for it in a “legal” state… shakin my damn head…
