Everyone here can stop saying, “but I am not a lawyer.” It wouldn’t matter if you were in regard to being right or wrong, because lawyer opinions are not the law. If you have enough money, you can get a lawyer to tell you almost anything to get that money. That does not mean you will win in court. The lawyer still keeps the money if you lose.
I have a law degree, but no license so therefore am not a lawyer. I personally would not risk my freedom to openly sling d8, because I don’t trust the hemp loophole argument. The top lawyer in my town is also in the hemp business, and he agrees. But he’s not the law, either. No one can predict exactly what the dea will do. We are all guessing. I agree that it is irresponsible to tell customers that you know for sure they will not get into trouble, because we don’t.
You are confusing delta 8 made from cannabis and delta 8 made from hemp. That is where one would be legal and one would not. The farm bill made hemp a new definition and not connected with cannabis if under 0.03 THC.
Man if you are all so confident write a letter to the DEA saying “this is what we’re doing, come and get us ya pigs”. This is all just talk at this point.
Interstate commerce is NOT regulated by the states in which product passes through (not just hemp products - but all interstate commerce).
Interstate commerce is regulated solely on the federal level - specifically congress.
Perfect example. Alcohol.
Alcohol is regulated by each state independently. While some states have looser or more strict laws regarding alcohol (think Utah) - there is no restriction on INTERSTATE COMMERCE through the state - that is not intended for consumption IN the state (ex legally transporting alcohol from CA to NY for example - passing through multiple states to reach its destination).
This does not apply to an individual driving alcohol TO Utah; from lets say Nevada, to consume in Utah - that’s actually considered trafficking and is a felony…
