There is a reason that you are able to purchase CBD in states that do not have medical marijuana programs. The reason for this is because American lawmakers changed the classification of hemp, meaning that CBD products were not able to be sold as hemp-derived products. Since hemp products have been legal in the United States for quite some time, many more people now have access to CBD. Some people get confused when talking about hemp and marijuana - are they not the same plant? Well, they are similar plants, but they are not the same. More like cousins if you will. Hemp does not really have any of the psychoactive components found in marijuana, meaning that it would take an insane amount of hemp ingestion to actually get you high.
This is the reason that lawmakers have been so willing to let hemp products flood the markets in hope that people will be satisfied with it and not push to legalize actual cannabis products like a smokeable weed. However, there has been a lot of progress in the hemp industry that has led to some pretty innovative products, one of which is Delta-8. If you haven’t heard of Delta-8 before, it is basically starting to get lawmakers' attention and cause problems from state to state. But since Delta-8 is hemp-based, what really is the problem? Well, that is truly the question. Today we are going to be talking about Delta-8 and why lawmakers are beginning to target it in the next wave of cannabis laws and reform. Keep reading to find out more!
So what’s the deal with Delta-8 and why is there so much attention around it? Well, it really comes down to marketing. I am a marketing guy, so I know a thing or two about getting people’s attention. Delta-8 has been primarily marketed as a product that will give the same wellness benefits of cannabis but without the high. Basically, people are assuming that Delta-8 can give them the same feelings as THC but without the impairment. Delta-8 is currently being sold in a variety of dispensaries across the country with different products available by state. Some of the common forms for Delta-8 include edibles, capsules, smokable flowers, vape oil, and tinctures. The reason that so many people are interested in using Delta-8 is because of their health conditions or something like that. So many people in the United States do not have access to medical marijuana in the same way that others do. Many of the southern states in the U.S. do not have great medical marijuana programs, and it can be really hard for people to find any sort of alternative medicine in the form of cannabis. However, people are beginning to see the merit for using Delta-8 to help with depression or anxiety. After all, it is supposedly capable of giving feelings of euphoria without impairing one's ability to drive or function. For these reasons and others, Delta-8 has become super popular in some states. This is what is making lawmakers worried. I don’t really know why the U.S. government has decided to have a problem with everything related to cannabis, but I guess this is just the world we are living in.
The truth about using Delta-8 for mental health treatment is that it is a great alternative to a lot of other drugs out there. Many people don’t want to associate themselves with the stigma of using weed, but the world of cannabis and medical marijuana is honestly so much bigger and better than it used to be.
