            With no more than .3% of THC. Delta-9 females produce hemp, so yes, you can buy hemp and CBD from a plant that produces the Delta-9 compound, but no, it will not have a significant amount of THC to be classified as cannabis on the scheduled drug list.

            In short, according to the FDA, those products you see in those stores are not classified as marijuana.

                If they are legal, they are required to be FDA approved and not classified as marijuana. I am also in the Bible belt for reference and anything store bought has never done anything for me, gummies or otherwise.

                    You can see that it says cannabinoid on the packaging, maybe if you have super low tolerance or are not and experienced smoker you might get a slight buzz, nothing compared to the real thing. I provided my research and have spoken from personal experience. Sorry but that’s not marijuana according to the FDA, and no, they do not do anything for me.

            Not really, no. It can have tiny, tiny percentages of Delta 9. Anything more than, iirc, 0.3% Delta 9 thc is considered full blown cannabis and is still federally illegal.

            For comparison, the thc carts I vape are between 80-90% Delta 9 thc. But I live in a legal state.

                Sooo your source is a sketchy website with a quote claiming they can be “functionally identical”(whatever that even actually means), but without any actual lab testing of the thc concentrations to back that up. Oh, and the article specifically mentions how these are at best questionably legal to sell, and the fda has actively warned against them.

                Also, edibles are a completely different story than concentrates. You can pack a bunch of delta 9 in and still be compliant because the actual food aspect of the edible counts towards the total concentration. 15mg of delta 9 thc in a 5g piece of chocolate is no big deal. For a single “farm bill compliant” vape cart to have the same amount(by weight) of delta 9 thc in it as my 1g dispensary cart, though, it would have to be oh… about 10 ounces(edited to correct, originally said pounds) of other junk.

                Good stuff.

                  You are right, I should never use anything that is not lab tested and completely compliant. I bet you get sooo much higher than me. Your pp I mean vape is bigger than mine 😔

                    Ah, devolving to petty insults when you have no counter arguments left. A tale as old as time.

              80-90 percent Delta 9 doesn’t mean anything to me… 80-90 percent of what? Tell me how many grams or milligrams of d9 or whatever is in each of the typical products that you use please or shoot a URL or pic. I’m genuinely interested in what you think is different.

                80-90 percent of what?

                …80-90 percent of Delta 9 thc. Literally what are you confused about? The size of the cart has nothing to do with how potent the actual thc concentration is.

                I buy 1g carts, which means there is .8-.9g of delta 9 thc in them. The 3g carts you showed in another comment legally cannot be more than 0.3% delta 9 thc, which means at MOST they contain .009g of delta 9 thc, 100 times less than what I can get in a single gram from a actual dispensary cart. That’s about how much I can get in a couple hits, let alone the whole cart 🤣.

                  It’s the hemp plants that they derive the compound from that can only contain .3%, so with flower that is the case. the carts I showed have that many mg of delta 9 suspended in the liquid. Your whole argument just fell apart on itself 1g cart is 1000mg of delta 9, no one measures a compound in percentages unless you are producing an impure chemical. Do you not understand? It’s not the weight of the cartridge, it’s the amount of the active compound that is in cart… does that make sense? "The latest evolution is hemp-derived delta-9 THC.

                  Operators with enough hemp also could extract sufficient delta-9 THC to produce and ship gummies and other infused products that are functionally identical to state-regulated marijuana across the U.S." https://mjbizdaily.com/hemp-derived-thc-producers-wary-of-us-farm-bill/

                    the carts I showed have that many mg of delta 9 suspended in the liquid.

                    No, they literally do not. Literally all of them have lab results on their websites. The first one had about 9mg/g, the second one about 1.4mg/g, and the last had none at all. Also, even counting delta 8 thc they were all still only in the 70-80% range. Regardless of whether the first two are legal or not(I have a feeling they’re not and enforcement is just weak), even the stronger one is only a 10th of what I get for the same price. And I live in one of the most expensive legal states by far. Just get normal weed from a dealer at that point if you’re in an illegal state, it’ll be stronger.
