Yeah it's pretty much in every smoke shop now, same with the edibles.
*edit* One thing about delta 8 I've noticed and I had read about before, there's less of a "paranoid" feeling that often comes with the regular stuff which might be a good thing. Delta 10 is supposed to be even weaker than 8 too.
One thing I'm not so sure on is the way they make the flower buds. I'm not sure if they're all the same but some is buds of hemp that are doused with some kind of derived compound and kief. Not sure how natural that is. Doesn't have much of a smell until it's burned, it also says not to eat it.
*edit* don't think I'll be getting delta 8 flower buds anymore.
The "compound" they put on it contains something called oleo which is the same thing as margarine, it's derived from the hemp itself but still no way that is natural or safe to inhale. Just like with vaping I'm sure there will be health risks found from D8 later on.

I had a sample of it from the nice people who sold me regular CBD and CBG hemp.
But guess who lives in a state where they'll give you needles and pipes and an area to do drugs, but passed a law to keep Delta illegal? Their name rhymes with Shmabel bleventeen. THC hemp I can buy now, but not Delta 8.
Anyway, I found it pretty nice, some energy, relaxation, and giggles.

They had a weird aftertaste and also caused a sore throat, which the real stuff has never done to me. I'd buy a D8 edible again though, was very good although it kinda felt like I'd taken a muscle relaxer. Helped me sleep pretty good too. |

Yet another reason they should just legalize the real stuff. Not sure I'd heard about your brother before, but I am sorry to hear about that. |

The coroner's report says my brother died in minutes from Fentanyl toxicity.. not nearly enough time for someone to find him, much less keep him alive until the paramedics arrive (by performing CPR or administering Narcan). What does that have to do with this thread? I spoke with a police officer about it and he said dealers have been lacing other drugs (including marajuana) with Fentanyl. I can't find the exact story but 4 people died from Fentanyl laced cocaine with their kids in the house, while trying to find that story I found this story: www.local10.com/news/local/2022/03/10/6-people-overdose-in-wilton-manors-fire-rescue-confirms/I don't do street drugs anymore and Fentanyl is another reason not too. If less deadly opiates were legal then none of this would be happening, just like if weed were legal none of this would be happening. Another thing you can thank conservatives for, even the ones who do drugs like cocaine will never support drug legalization because its a tool to oppress the underclass. Cops hate marijuana legalization because then they can't use the "strong odor of marijuana" excuse to search cars, that means they actually have to do their jobs. |

Cops hate marijuana legalization because then they can't use the "strong odor of marijuana" excuse to search cars, that means they actually have to do their jobs. If any drug could be considered evil (like many ppl consider guns to be evil), it would be Fentanyl. Fentanyl is so dangerous because it only takes a tiny amount of it to be lethal. Therefore, it's way too easy to accidentally overdose on the stuff. According to the DEA, the producers and dealers themselves may not even know when they're selling lethal doses, because the production processes don't yield precise potency. www.dea.gov/resources/facts-about-fentanylFentanyl by itself kills far more Americans than all gun violence, so it's a drug that definitely drives negative perceptions about drug use in general and (irrationally) makes uninformed ppl paranoid about legalizing non-lethal drugs such as marajuana. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dea-seized-fentanyl-kill-american-2022/story?id=95625574 |

I don't think they should be locking up people for drug use either. I only talk about this topic because I hate that so many people are needlessly dying from it.

I remember hearing a story a while back about these young people who died after snorting cocaine that was contaminated with battery acid. I don't even want to think about that.

If I wasn't clear with my other post in this thread, if regular weed was legal in all 50 states then Delta8/10 wouldn't be a thing. Also that synthetic marijuana that was giving people seizures and killing them "spice" wouldn't be a thing. All of that was because people wanted to get high on weed but weed is illegal.
Make it so you can buy weed at the smoke shop, done.

Make it so you can buy weed at the smoke shop, done. Politicians are typically old and don't know what's what/out of touch. They've passed asinine gun regulations too.. Hollow-point ammo is actually safer because it expands and releases most of its energy (and typically breaks up) in the intended target. Versus full metal jacket ammo has greater penetration and passes through intended targets, making it more likely the ammo will keep going and strike unintended objects or bystanders. |

I remember hearing about some hospital where a doctor was actually dealing pills from the parking lot. I read a story not long ago where some Dr.s office in I think West Virgina had guards going around the parking lot asking people to please stop snorting their pills or smoking them in the parking lot because it looks bad......way too late for that the Feds kicked in their front door a couple months later. |

This isn't going to work: www.adn.com/politics/alaska-legislature/2023/04/02/alaska-house-advances-bill-to-tackle-fentanyl-crisis-with-longer-drug-sentences/The only way to get rid of drugs through the police is to do it the way China did it. In China if you were involved with Opium they would drag you out in the street and shoot you in the back of the head. There are videos of this on YouTube I think. We are more "civilized" then that I would hope. Remember fent only exists because other opiates are illegal. If you could go buy morphine and heroin from a mail order catalog like you could in the late 1800s there would be no fentanyl, just like if you could go to the pharmacy and buy weed there would be no Delta8/10 |

China took such a hardline stance on opioids for a reason. During the rule of the British empire, the Brits sold tons of opioids to China, which wreaked massive havoc on their society. Of course, this was before fentanyl.
imo, it's a major reason that China thinks they're in their rights for selling opioids right back to the west (which they view the US as extension of the old British empire) in modern times.. for revenge purposes.
They hate Japan with a passion too, so it's just a matter of time 'til China does something nasty to Japan as well (also, for revenge).

There's a bill going through right now to decriminalize weed in TX, won't make it completely legal though. Like if you get pulled over by cops and they find it, they'll write you a ticket and confiscate it instead of taking you to jail, as long as it's 1oz or less. It's a start.
*edit* and, it was shut down. Maybe next time.

I actually quit smoking weed around the beginning of this year, happened after I started taking a martial art. Unfortunately my blood pressure skyrocketed after quitting, even though I don't feel any apparent withdrawal symptoms or anything. Actually had to get some edibles from a shop to get my blood pressure back down, diastolic reached 110 which I had never seen that above 80's before. It still seems to hover around the 90's even now.
Looked it up and it says that this is known to happen after quitting, and that it can even last for months depending on how long and frequently it was smoked.

I like weed but currently don't smoke it. My two main objections is...
1) It really weakens your lungs... Like I went on a multi-year hiatus from it and as soon as I started smoking it again I would get short breathed easy.
2) Smells too strong. Like if you smoke indoors the smell is too strong and lingers forever and you have to keep it in a sealed mason jar not to smell it.
Get rid of those two problems and I wouldn't mind getting stoned again. On the weed plus side...
1) Sex with prostitutes is dramatically more intense while stoned, especially when you accidentally let a fart slip out! Holla... 
2) Your stereo sounds dramatically better... |

I heard if you vape vs smoke it leaves no smell, you just have to buy the right stuff. I wouldn't know, I don't smoke weed. |

Yet another reason they should just legalize the real stuff. Not sure I'd heard about your brother before, but I am sorry to hear about that. He'd alternate between opioids and meth. He'd deny using meth, but I knew about it because he told an uncle (who was trying to help) about it once. Also, it's obvious which one he was using at any given time because the symptoms were textbook. It's morbidly interesting how destructive meth is to the body and mind (see the video). I don't know that legalizing either of these class of drugs would be helpful because the users are compelled to take more and more of it (or the stronger version) as part of the addiction process, which the Dr also explains in the video. |

^sorry if I was insensitive before, and again sorry you lost your brother.
Just learned yesterday that a co-worker/friend of mine passed away, took her own life from the sounds of it. I had sent her some chocolate the week of valentine's day, which it's been a long time since I gave a woman something for valentine's day. There's never any way to know that anything is wrong with someone, she always seemed happy and was also a martial arts practitioner. Can't help feeling if I'd been more of a friend and reached out and talked to her more, she would still be here. Always thought there would be more time.
I think I will regret it for the rest of my life.
