You can probably buy THC emulsion in bulk and then just mix it into whatever you want.

I CAN DO WHAT NOW
oh my GOD for 4500 dollars i can buy 5kg of d9 thc 
i mean i absolutely can't afford that rn but hmmmm
for 595 dollars I could buy 500g of powder which would be 110g of straight thc which would be the equivalent of like 3667 cans of this soda which would be like over 15000 dollars but this website says they're a "business to business supplier only"
Depending on how strict they are, creating an LLC is pretty cheap
i'm wondering if I can butter up the local gas station lady and get her to order it for me, I think I'm cute enough 
At the risk of sounding like a syndicalist (I kid, I kid): start a co-op.
Not telling you to disclose any details about yourself, but I bet it greatly varies by state in 
it's a state where weed is not legal but super dank delta 9thc drinks are, we're one foot in the future and one foot in the grave!
Edit: so i guess anything i can order online that doesn't care where it goes would be great
Not sure where you are but I imagine there’s a lot of licensing you need to go through to be a business that’s allowed to buy controlled products wherever you are.
I don’t want to be that person - if it works for you great - but several people close to me have found that after the initial bump thc makes their sleep worse rather than better 😞
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
but 30mg of THC is not the size of your thumb.
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 
Buy some drink mix. Places sell jars of 1g of powders for like 50 bucks, mix it into a beverage, boom.
I need it to be cost effective though, is that 1g of straight THC, not net weight? so like the equivalent of 33 of these 30mg drinks? because then 50 bucks would be cost effective (but still 10x more expensive than if I could buy it in bulk from one of these wholesale distributors who seem to require I be a business)
1g straight THC.
oh yeah I need some of that god damn this is the future I've been waiting 14 years for 
Your best bet is to reach out to an existing distributor and ask them for their best rate for a pallet. There’s not really a cheat code to buy consumer goods at wholesale prices unless you’re buying wholesale, in bulk. At least one entire skid. To buy directly from the manufacturer you would have to get signed up as a customer in their ERP which means you need a W9, business insurance, a company, etc.
I'll pay for a shitload of it if i need to. I think 5k worth of the powder (1,100 grams, enough for 36,6667 30mg doses unless im doing Wrong Math) should last me for literal years
Like, 37 years if I wanted to take 90mg a day unless it goes bad
But i think i only have until November because I read they passed some bullshit law limiting shit to "0.3mg PER CONTAINER"
