is it a controlled product?? it's "legal" because of good old farm bill 2018
they do say 21+ to purchase but idk what regulatory body enforces that
Also the medical options for insomnia are like z drugs, which are addictive and have terrifying side effects, or benzos which also check those boxes, or anti depressants and shit like that used for secondary effects like sedation and the one time i tried that my heart felt like it was gonna explode
The only problem with thc is black market weed having varying effects, the extreme cost, the illegality, and the impracticality of needing to smoke in the middle of the night when im trying to sleep because a high feels like it only lasts a couple hours. The drinks ameliorate all those cons, just as I knew they would all these years as I waited for prohibition to end and allow me medical products (or at least some degree of uniformity)
But thank you for the concern
I’m glad it works for you!! Wishing you all the best. And yeah I think anything that’s age restricted like weed or alcohol has strict licensing laws almost everywhere
Damn I gotta try those drinks. You and I are in the same boat with sleep comrade. Insomnia is a removed
it's been pretty great, just drink a lil soda pop before bed instead of smoking 3-4+ bowls trying to get high enough to sleep and failing. and it satisfies my alcoholic desire to sit and sip something that'll fuck me up so not drinking has been so easy
gosh I wonder why they wanted to keep it illegal
Another alternative would be to look for a tincture, and either just put that under your tongue or mix it into whatever drink you like. I just started using the tincture for insomnia and it's been a gamechanger, so much more convenient than having to smoke at night and it kicks in pretty smoothly and lasts a longer time than smoking.
A tincture wouldn't skirt legality from the farm bill at a concentration worth using
Why not? It could still be made with delta9... The one I got was just thc and MCT oil, 30mg/ml. That's in Canada but I don't see why they couldn't do the same thing with 'legal' thc.
how is a tincture supposed to be concentrated if it's also supposed to be 0.3% thc by dry weight
The gummies work because they're the size of your thumb
I don't know what this means. The concentration is 30mg/ml... So in a 30ml bottle you have the equivalent of almost a full gram of THC. At $30-40 per bottle that's a way better price than most edibles. I don't know what you're asking but 30mg of THC is not the size of your thumb.
that's not legal via the loopholes in the 2018 farm bill which is the point of this post
30mg of thc in a gummy made so that thc is 0.3% by dry weight and thus LEGAL in states where it is still ILLEGAL makes the gummy large
Well I didn't know that about the farm bill, but at 30mg/ml that's a 3% solution by mass, so the most you could do is 3mg/ml but that would still be a reasonable concentration for a tincture. You'd just have to take 5-10ml instead of 0.5-1ml or whatever. Regardless that sucks if it's not available, but adding a 10ml eyedropper to any drink would still probably be better than paying for the full premade drink.
Edit* I did a quick search and there are sites selling 1g delta8,9 and 10 tinctures so idk if it's legal or not but they do exist on the clear web.
Delta 8 or delta 9? There is new regulation going into place November of this year that closed the delta-8 loophole.
delta 9 I'm not going to put some weird ass cannabinoid research chemical in me, not since k2
