Delta 8 is poison. While I am against total marijuana legality, as I think it should be tightly controlled, regulated, and the strength restricted (today’s weed isn’t the weed of the 20th century), this “junk” Delta 8, Delta 9 has 80% of it’s ingredients unregulated – and it causes life-long damage. Go to any youth stress center, or rehab – you will find kids – with the source of their problems as these junk products. This crap is no different that unregulated alcohol – dangerous and potentially life-altering. Adults and “real” weed aren’t my issue – it’s this fake crap that is profoundly dangerous. Shame on the adults in our society for not banning this garbage.
There are wonderful companies like Mako Hemp at the Factory Arts District that sell “real” hemp flower. Check them out!
1 Million percent agree with Jon M.
Young Hoosiers are using the Delta 8 product and going psycho! Call any reliable stress center in Indiana (St. V’s Stress Center – 317-338-4800) and see what they say.
ALSO – call Indy IPD and ask them.
The state legislate must address this issue.
Indiana would be better off with legalizing pure and controlled grown marijuana rather than selling this JUNK (Delta 8) in local gas stations and everywhere else you look!.
Good for Todd R. give a damn!! No one else seems to be concerned about the states youth and the epidemic Delta 8 is causing and that’s sad. I wonder if the youth of China are polluting themselves with this crap? Bet not!!
You lost me at “call any stress center.” If you have specific examples of harm being done, and that harm being a direct result of a specific ingredient in these products, then please share.
The hysterics (including the comments here) surrounding any legalization conversation only detract from the debate.
Informed and reasonable adults must obviously be allowed to choose to do things that are not necessarily healthy, and the State has no obligation or power to prohibit any substance without proper laws saying so.
All theoretical or actual harms to individuals can be prosecuted within the existing tort, civil, or criminal systems, but nobody ever talks about that.
I’ve been using delta-8 pretty regularly for the past three years and feel great, but will be sure to be on the lookout for those life-altering effects. I’m still waiting for the ones I was assured I’d get from my decades of delta-9 use, frankly. I don’t think anyone is saying it should be allowed for kids. If we’re going to all-out ban it, I think the same should be done for alcohol and cigarettes, as I don’t think there’s any question that those two products destroy wayyyy more lives.
We don’t want to ban cigs and alcohol, but you are correct on the marijuana side, and kids should not be doing any of the three. Delta 8 is a joke and only available as a way to get around the current Indiana law. Legalizing marijuana not only removes most of the bad artificial substances, but also drastically reduces the black market and illegal sales, while increasing the tax base and allowing an entire business and industry to grow in Indiana. Of course our leadership has waited so long, the national pot companies will control our local industry, which is the biggest fallacy of the current prohibition.
LETS GOOO KEVIN P!!! Spot on!!!
