Due to a loophole in the Farm Bill,
Delta-8 THC is already legal in most states and you don’t see much news about it… It is sold out in the open at CBD stores – I don’t know how the police are dealing with this or distinguishing between delta-8 and delta-9.
Even in Alabama, there are shops selling products laced with Delta8, but also $20 chocolate chip cookies laced with Delta9.
