    These hemp-based highs are every bit as potent as those derived from the marijuana available in legalization states.

    How I know the author hasn’t tried either product.

      To be fair, if they don’t smoke often, it probably hit them pretty hard. I agree that they aren’t as potent, but it’ll do the job in a pinch.

        It’s an isolate, not a synthetic.

        JHW 018 was probably the safest synthetic cannibinoid and the person who invented said people were crazy to actually ingest it.

          but why bother with an isolate or a synthetic when THE REAL THING is easily available? it grows like weeds ffs… but we’re doing nobel prize science over here to tip-toe through regulatory bullshit.

          Come on Joe, on your way out just legalize the shit nationwide.

            JWH-018 doesn’t show up on regular thc drug tests. I speculate this is why it got banned extremely quickly after it became a thing unlike delta 8. I’m sure it’s even nastier crap than delta 8 but that is the appeal. If Trump takes over, dismantles the entire cannabis industry and makes testing positive for thc a crime like it is in many other countries, this will likely start gaining popularity again. Producing it isn’t the hardest chemical process in the world but it’s still hard. It’s likely that it will be really expensive like all the hard drugs if it starts getting produced by the black market though.

            Or so I’m told.
