I agree with the delta-8 ban. Can’t have the natural thing, but let’s breathe this chemical we made in the lab and spray on ditch weed.
But you can have the natural thing. Recreational marijuana is legal in MO
Then they really should be banning the lab stuff. No need for it to exist except to line some chemical company’s pockets.
I’m puffing a vape as I scroll because I believe it to be better than smoking a cigarette. Lab-made does not necessarily equal poison.
popcorn lung Diacetyl can be an ingredient in vapes. Hope you are being mindful of that. Natural doesn’t mean better for you. But few things are good to use daily.
Diacetyl hasn't been used in any reputable vape juice brand in like a decade(and is banned in EU), and there's also absolutely no evidence that the juices that did contained enough to cause popcorn lung. There's a reason it's called popcorn lung, because the most likely person to get it is one who works in a popcorn factory and is exposed to industrial quantities of Diacetyl, day after day for likely 10-12 hour shifts. The difference in dosage is astronomical. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you'll know how grease vapors in the air will absolutely coat you in a film of yuck. Imagine that same idea but instead of grease it's Diacetyl coating everyone and everything in the factory.
I don’t vape, so I have no clue about the safety that is claimed from atomizing substances. Thank you for informing me about how diacetyl has been pulled from most vapes, shows you how old my information is.

Delta-8 wiki it is found in the plant naturally, but in very small doses. They were able to fully synthesize it in the 2010s I think, and they don’t breed hemp plants to produce it, they spray a concoction of lab produced delta-8 and “natural binders” to cbd hemp. At least, that’s what all the delta-8 is around here.
Everyone I know in the industry are in the medical field, and they all stay as far away from that stuff as they can, leave it to the headshops to panhandle.
It's not a synthetic cannabinoid...Delta-8 is typically extracted from hemp plants.
There are also legitimate reasons to prefer D8, even in a legal state. For example, some people prefer it's much more mild effect relative to normal cannabis.
But I do agree with not consuming products that spray it on direct combustibles and the need to have proper government regulations for product safety and testing enforcement.
I enjoyed delta8 because I'm a lightweight these days and weed is strong as fuck these days. I'm more into the THCA now though.
