So, Mrs. Cheesesteak went to her favorite CBD mail order provider, and wound up getting gummies with something called HHC instead of CBD. Apparently this is a chemical similar to THC, but not derived from marijuana, but from hemp, or maybe synthesized from hemp, so it’s more like CBD in it’s legality/availability, but has psychoactive properties like THC.
Then, when trying to find out what the heck HHC was, I find out about Delta-8, which again is similar to regular THC (aka Delta-9??) but is not regulated like THC. And of course in classic Baader-Meinhof fashion I read today about a person in my town who went to a local ‘health food’ store for CBD, and wound up with Delta-8 and a really bad trip instead.
So, what are these concoctions? Are they mostly harmless and legal THC style derivatives, or gas station potpourri synthetics that you’ll be lucky to survive ingesting, or something in between?
