So has anyone at all managed to get D8 thats free of unknowns and leftover D9?
I live under a rock + a few sediment layers.
not even pharmaceutical D9 API is free of D8 soā¦

Makes sense. More curious about the state of it rn and if anyones come close as still know people claiming to have 100% safe and compliant D8 with no unknowns. And its sketchy
Bro, you thinking about going to the D8 convention next month? Thereās a convention going on at Sea World on the 27th and 28th. If itās something you might be interested in, Iām happy to offer my place as a place to crash so you donāt have to get a hotel room. You know, if youāre into checking it outā¦

So I get from a marketing standpoint as it should be what the claims describe
But who TF cares is thereās d9 in there
Whatās up with all the snitching that has became like commonplace in cannabis now? So much damn greed itās lame
And as far as contaminates if itās a decent lab I doubt thereās any More contaminate in a few d8 dabs than in your formaldehyde flash brewed beers you love
Or in your nice smelly s$&t you rub under your arms that contains powdered metal
Or in the stuffs you rub on your skin to stop skin cancer that get this Actually Causes skin cancer
Itās so sad to see this D8 debacle (just an opinion from a non simpleton with no skin in the game)

Umm the federal government, the alphabet boys, your employers, etc etc.
There is a million reasons why it should be free of d9.

F the govs and the boys and the employers
IMO itās the laws that need the scrutinizing
Not the product and to be honest Iāve never even seen d8 in person
Just seems to me the light is on the wrong thing here

So for decades the weed industry flipped the bird to gov and alphabet soup but all of a sudden d8 (which has been researched since 1971 to my last rememberance) comes out and everyone wants to suck their dick? What is this?

The point is them telling people āitās legal, wonāt fail a drug test, etcā and then those customers get screwed.

Fuck Sea World! They need to disappear! Boycott them. I have for over 20 years. Cetacians should not be in captivity!
Sorry for the aside. I feel very passionately about voicing opposition to them any chance I get. Carry on.

Fuck, I havenāt been to Sea World literally since I was in like 7th grade in school. Iām just looking to go to meet people if I go. Shake some hands, smoke some doobies, whatever. Iāve never been to anything like it before, so it should be interesting none the less.
But yeah, fuck them.

Youāre not wrong, and at the same argument ā¦ infighting amongst similar/same industry is exactly what they are hoping for as they continue to spread misinformation and smear campaigns on otherwise good people. Nobody reputable in industry is telling consumers you wonāt fail a drug test. Has literally nobody learned anything from Gamergate ā¦ or media in general for the last 6+ years?
Is it really a coincidence that only after InBev and Philip Morris spend $4b+ combined on the industry that we get this bullshit anchor bill from Chuck Schumer? - This is all classic divide and conquer thatās been used to take over anything in the history of mankind.
There should be no fighting about any of this, and more discussions on how to jointly take down all the bullshit
Thank you for listening to my TedTalk

Cannabis operators (not all) see the massive demand for ā8 as directly impacting sales. Youāre right there is friction there, but also within the cannabinoid hemp segment alone. ā8 sprayed flower is very popular, and competes with MJ flower sales. What is added to spray effectively?
The ā9 content is a practical concern, regardless of how one feels about the issue. Thereās just not much chance legislators will look at the issue and say, āsure keep it rollingā, with sales to 18 or 21 year olds, depending on the shopkeepers policy. Over a dozen or so states have said, āno wayā. Especially those with a cannabis lobby.
The critical issue is lack of safety testing. QR codes with COAās are commonplace in MJ, should be required for other extracts or isomers like ā8. Thereās a wide range of expertise converting to ā8, and barely anyone is attaching a COA to ā8 carts.
Who is supplying lab analysis with their products, aside from cannabinoid profile? I canāt find it. So much historical concern over residuals in hydroc extracted product, and the resulting shift to solventless, or just better all around product finishing. Now weāre going to pivot to an untested product made by youtubers and pros alike, with who knows what residuals? Smacks of Vit E acetate from a public health perspective, regardless of the reality.
Too many inexperienced operators slinging it. Not a solid argument to say that thereās all kinds of other ways to encounter contaminants. Its like an apple farmer saying no big deal about the residual pesticides, because tomatoes have then too.
The market has to be regulated, too much greed out there, cutting corners, or just overestimation of ones abilities as a chemist. Some states have just pushed the easy button and banned it. Anyone with a financial interest in ā8 is resistant to oversight, but that ship has sailed.

Iāve seen this claim get sent around all over the place but I have yet to see evidence. Where is the evidence that cannabis sales have declined in any legal states, much less that D8 is the cause?

Thereās a lot of safe d8 just ask those who claimed it first how their 3k a liter marketing worked out.

Ya I think all the data show ever-increasing sales in cannabis. Black market MJ is much more of a threat Iād think.
I donāt drink beers and thereās a difference in smoking and eating
