They’ll have to prove it in court
The Gwinnett County DA said it is illegal under the Hemp act
Classic. Think of the children…
and said some Delta-8 products have caused a number of children to have psychotic episodes.
Georgia is interesting in that there’s precedent that requires knowledge that a product is unlawful. I think a lawyer could make a case that companies like Black Press who mill PR and have convinced the majority of the country that this stuff is unquestionably legal have misled the public

No mens rea, which means “a guilty mind” is pretty much saying “I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong” and is a legal phrase, although I don’t think it works in America, like jury nullification(fija)…

As a Georgia Resident, I’ve been following all this stuff pretty closely, especially since I’m trying to establish a business out here. It’s quite frightening that all of this is happening, but thankfully I’m not in Gwinnett County (It’s about 50ish mins from me). I have spoken to a few local law enforcement near me and to their knowledge, in my area, they consider Delta 8/Delta 10 to be legal. The few smoke shops I’ve questioned about all of this have also stated that they plan to continue selling products until “they are raided”.
A scare like this came around May of last year, but after 3 months of not selling products, a lot of the places put D8/etc back on their shelves. It looks like this time though they’re being a bit more “brave” about it.
