The two sides of Delta 8 Legality / Δ8THC arguementive discussion

No

To be schedule 1 you must show 2 things

D8 has medical uses so I don’t see it falling in schedule 1

It also doesn’t have a high rate of abuse like meth or H

I dont think itll fall under schedule 2 either

You won’t get dependent on D8

Not impossible, sure, but commercially viable? Nobody has come forward with proof that the products that are actually for sale are truly compliant, all it takes is a little chromatography and some prodding from the community

D9 THC has medical uses and its still schedule 1… they regulate how they see fit until a court tells them they can’t.

D9 was also scheduled before those studies were done

So when it was scheduled there was no “proof”

Youre leaning on quite a few technicalities for your case. Not saying it won’t work out for you, just that its similar to the gamble 2nd amendment supporters take.

Might make a martyr out of yourself.

Rather it be me then someone who will just roll over and take it and not fight them

Im prepared to fight when the time comes

I stand up for what I believe in and I believe in the healing power of D8 :100:

Admirable, but since its a legal opinion you can’t advise people to do the same as you. At least not in good faith.

Be the martyr if that brings about your end goal, but be mindful that not everyone wants to fall on their sword for the cause because not everyone needs to.

Lol maybe he doesn’t yet but the way he seems to be poking the bear, if it goes down the way I’m imagining a case may be coming. Not for him in particular but anyone doing conversions and I’m sure this website will be a tidy little database to comb through.

Only reason I see law enforcement agencies taking a bigger notice in this forum than any of the past drug forums is that a great deal of folks on this forum operate on a far larger scale than any of the folks on the nexus or the hive ever led on to.

Sure those forums dealt primarily with different and much harder drugs, but the scale of synth was much smaller than whats discussed here.

They’re all just scheduled drugs to LEO at the end of the day.

The thing is though is that compliant D8 isn’t killing ppl or even really causing any kind of harm to society

I feel like legal weed is doing more harm because it gets you way higher then D8 and let’s be honest weed isn’t hard to get

Kids get less effect then adults and they don’t understand why

Only drug ever to prevent puking in 100% of chemo therapy patients when administed before

I don’t know any kids who have smoked d8 so I can’t really speak to that. But ill sum up my weak argument with this:
IF you produce D8 i don’t think the government is gonna want to be friends with you anymore.

If its compliant they don’t have a foot to stand on

Go read the fentanyl action, you can’t just use the emergency order for anything

The DEA would have done an emergency order if it could have on D8 instead of a “ruling” but it can’t. Ppl aren’t ODing from D8

There gonna get everyone making non compliant for sure, but the ppl making compliant I bet they don’t even touch. They can regulate a schedule 1 (non compliant d8 extract from hemp). They can’t regulate compliant hemp derived D8, technically its hemp by definition.

“The term ‘hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant,
including … all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and
salts of isomers, with a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more
than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”

We all know hemp can be transported anywhere as long is its legal hemp

They didn’t need to do an emergency order as it’s been on the controlled substances act for some time, the chevron deference would come into play as it wasn’t the intent of congress to legalize psychoactive THC. Your interpretation is based on the implicit understanding that THC can be isomerized from legal hemp derived CBD. Congress explicitly banned THC prior, ergo I think deference applies here

First, always, is the question whether Congress has directly spoken to the precise question at issue. If the intent of Congress is clear, that is the end of the matter; for the court, as well as the agency, must give effect to the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress.

all THC was explicitly banned prior, I don’t think your little loophole will survive the scrutiny of the federal court system

Nevada redefined “thc” to include d8. until this happens elsewhere this will likely be contained to Nevada (and kansas)

This is not true. I saw a COA of small grow room. Boy was I shocked.
