Delta-8 THC and the 2018 Farm Bill 02/04/2024	Marijuana and hemp are made up of hundreds of cannabinoids, including Delta-9 THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana that makes people feel “high” and CBD. Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant and is structurally similar to Delta-9 THC. Because Delta-8 THC is virtually identical to Delta-9 THC, it carries similar risks including risks of addiction and psychosis. In the 2018 Farm Bill, Congress legalized hemp and any hemp-derived products, including Delta-8 THC. As a result, Delta-8 products have popped up in virtually every state and are available at convenience stores and gas stations. Hemp Loophole, Laws
Hillsborough becomes latest to ease marijuana laws 02/20/2020	Some parents, however, have concerns. Teresa Miller believes marijuana triggered her son's dangerous drug habit. "Twelve years ago, my son was smoking marijuana," she said. "Within a year, he springboarded to severe opioid addiction." Miller is worried someone can now be caught with 20 grams of pot and face minimal punishment. "Twenty grams is conservatively 60 joints. That's a lot. You're not going to be carrying that around for personal use. So I'm a little concerned that it was that high of grams. I think it should be less," she said. "I'm really hoping and praying that people don't decide, 'Well, since it's semi-legal and I'm not going to go to jail, that I can use it.'" miller, Hillsborough, Florida, Laws
