Delta 8 THC: The 'legal' version of marijuana
Delta 8 THC, a new product on the market, is being called “weed lite.” Unlike your standard marijuana, Delta 8 THC is being sold legally to buyers without a prescription.
“The difference, we’re talking about Delta 9 being cannabis, Delta 8 being available in hemp. If it’s hemp, it is legal. Still gets you stoned and it is made legal under the same laws that made CBD legal,” said Carlos Hermida, owner of the Chillum Glass Gallery and CBD Dispensary in Ybor City.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the products are the “next step in the way to stone America.”

Hey, Numbskulls. Anyone that wants to smoke can and will, legal or not… Quit trying to control everyone. Mind your own fuckin business… Cops literally work events and bars where EVERYONE is drinking and are free to leave as they please, as long as they can walk a straight line. All about the money…….. By this guy's logic, Alcohol should be illegal.

Guys, y’all minus well Just legalize the use of marijuana and decriminalize it in Texas, pretty much everyone smokes THC with or without there medical marijuana license in Texas so there’s no reason yall should still be putting ppl in jail for it still. Y’all would make more money just legalizing it.

All I do is Delta, I don't even smoke weed. Weed makes me paranoid and it's too strong for me. Got nothing against it. I prefer Delta.

Sheriff Grady Judd… he’s a politician first and foremost. Just keep that in mind — he knows weed isn’t killing his community, it’s fentanyl and booze. But he knows being anti-weed plays with his political base.

It is definitely ridiculous to ask a cowboy police officer about smoking weed what in the hell do he know he probably Never touched it in his life and the way it seems lm he needs to smoke a cheech and Chong blunt

I have been suffering from lower back spams since 2013. Very mild but super annoying nerve type of pain. I haven’t been able to sleep on my back for a while. I saw 3 orthopedists, a neurologist, a spine surgeon, 2 physical therapists and a chiropractor nobody could figure out what was causing my pain. I was diagnosed with Maigne's syndrome by a professor and ended up in a pain management clinic; injections didn’t work, nerve ablation didn’t work , Gabapentin worked a certain degree with 1000mg a day but felt like a zombie… nothing worked for me really until someone introduced me to delta 8 gummies. 20 mg and I’m set for a relaxed evening, a good night sleep and great energy and lower pain in the morning

Once you let the marijuana kids in (medically) it’s over. you can’t pass legislation quick enough . You freed Willy. People in 2022 understand that smoking marijuana is probably a good thing. My grandmother is 85 years old she has never used tobacco or alcohol. She was in a terrible accident back in the day. She mitigates her pain with special brownies she gets from her friend at church.
