While Tennessee sits on the sidelines of marijuana legalization, Tennesseans are choosing Delta-8, a psychoactive cannabis product nearly identical to marijuana. The two are isomers—chemical compounds with the same formula but different atomic arrangements—that offer similar mental effects with medicinal and recreational applications.
Since legalizing CBD oil in 2015, the Tennessee state legislature has failed to pass any laws legalizing medical or recreational cannabis. Tennessee has become a national outlier, one of five states in which marijuana is not legal for any purpose, not decriminalized, and potentially a felony. The state continues to widely enforce consequences for possession, reporting 30,781 marijuana-related arrests in 2019. Meanwhile, neighbors like South Carolina and Alabama are poised to legalize medical marijuana this year. Mississippi did it last November. While Tennessee stalls, residents turn to alternatives.
Since the 2018 Farm Bill clarified its legal status, Delta-8 has become increasingly available over-the-counter at cannabis retailers across the state. It has one main selling point: benefits similar to marijuana not found in CBD. Like marijuana, which is also known as Delta-9, Delta-8 contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Like CBD, no oversight body regulates dosages or screens for additives. While the presence of THC in Delta-8 gives users unique benefits not found on the legal market in Tennessee, it also means Delta-8 is indistinguishable from marijuana use on a drug test. Despite the tricky gray area, Delta-8 demand has ballooned over the last year and now dominates the state’s legal cannabis market.

Pretty sure it’s unregulated by the feds.
A friend told me I should smoke some hash, so I gave it a shot. I thought it tasted a little funny, but maybe cherry was the wrong wood to use. I'll try again with hickory or oak.

My wife and I have been using Delta-8 CBD gummies for a few months. Then she brought me a container of Delta-8 THC gummies for my legs when she came back from SC. I was feeling no pain. In fact, I couldn’t feel my face.
A friend handles JSO which looks like tar. Some fishermen stopped by and made some heavy-duty purchases. Several days later he ran into one. He asked where they went and how many fish they caught. He remembered nothing. The last word was they are trying to retrace their travels to find their equipment.
“Can you legally order it through the mail for delivery to a state like, say, Florida? Asking for a friend ...”
Yes. I believe all of this relates to the hemp laws put into place in 2018. Hemp is legal in the US. Companies are now extracting whatever THC they can get from the plant and creating the Delta 8/10 variants. The THC content is much weaker than the Delta 9 variant which is actual marijuana.
If you go into a CBD shop, they will probably have Delta 8/10 products you can buy.
