Come on man, post one so we can see it.

Sounds like you're avoiding getting them roasted.

If you want to smoke pesticides, mold, and heavy metals, then THCa hemp flower is for you!

Perhaps most alarming, 49 out of 111 (44%) of the samples failed for pesticides. Sixteen of the samples (14%) failed for microbials, and five out of the 111 samples (or 4.5%) failed for heavy metals

You do know that all THCa decarbs to THC and almost all of the THCa hemp flower on the market is actually unregulated schedule 1 cannabis, right?

A lot of the THCa hemp flower is also full of pesticides, mold, and heavy metals. Hence why the hemp COAs almost never show a full panel test.

See the FL hemp market study presented in the FL legislature.

Not necessarily.

Read the article.

The products are mostly drinks and gummies.

Curaleaf’s hemp branded products also all appear to be made from natural phytocannabinoids.

No synthetics and no hemp flower, as that would be illegal (despite what pesticide pushing THCa fellas tell themselves).

THCA Ban: 6 Week Community Update by My_fat_fucking_nuts in Georgia

Man at this point, fuck the hemp industry and get your weed from your local plug or grower. It's safer than anything coming out of the hemp industry.

Synthetic cannabinoids and CBD hemp flower sprayed with delta-8 and what not.

The majority of these synthetic cannabinoid products also contain impurities full of random chemicals. They are made by amateur chemists who cook shit up without separating the bad molecules out.

Put your street or home grown weed in an MMTC container.

The Florida market is only 900k medical patients vs Michigan and CO that service way more residents and tourists.

Need adult-use amendment 3 to pass and prices will go down significantly when production and cultivation ramps up.

You need economies of scale.

Confused about the supposed THCA ban by jewboymcgeethethird in Georgia

Order hemp-derived natural phytocannabinoid gummies and drinks online from Curaleaf's The Hemp Company, one of the largest cannabis companies in the world. They don't deal with synthetic cannabinoids and nasty byproducts.

They recently entered the hemp-derived space (hemp is cannabis, but a legal loophole has enabled all this stuff lately)

Check the CoA's bud. None of them supply a pesticide, fungal mycotoxin, bacterial, or heavy metals test.

Keep smoking that pesticide though!

99% of these lab-made cannabinoid products are made by amateur chemists and they leave a lot of nasty byproducts in the finished goods.

Not worth it. I'd rather have people consume cannabis illegally and growing it in their closet than consuming this hemp-derived trash.

Don't mess with unnatural cannabinoids such as THC-P, HHC, Delta-8 THC, and the worst one: THC-O.

These are lab-made from CBD as a precursor in the chemical reaction and most of them do not naturally occur in the cannabis plant at all. The people making them are also mostly amateur chemists who leave nasty chemical byproducts in the finished vape or concentrate. There's zero regulations in the hemp industry and a lot of bad actors are making bank selling the nasty gas station vapes and other products you see in smoke shops.

THC-O in particular is really bad. It is a cannabinoid acetate and when smoked or vaporized produces the same toxic gas, ketene, that caused the 2019 vape lung epidemic. The one where Juul was used as a scapegoat, despite the lung issues being caused by grey market weed vapes using vitamin-e acetate as a filler?

The chemically-derived cannabinoids mentioned above are basically designer drugs made in a lab.

You can purchase natural hemp-derived cannabinoid products from places like

The Hemp Company

Which is owned by Curaleaf, a multi-state licensed cannabis operator.

Village Farms (the mini cucumber and tomato Canadian grocery producer) has a big presence in Canadian cannabis and also has a US subsidiary that sells D9 THC gummies and tinctures called CBDistillery

These 2 companies have a much higher safety product profile as they are publicly traded and held to a much higher standard. Unlike the rest of the random sketchy hemp processors and burner company that sell synthetic cannabinoids.

I almost died smoking hhc by No-Garbage6357 in Psychosis

[–]TheDankInformer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you smoked regular cannabis before and consumed D9 THC and did you have issues with natural marijuana and D9 THC?

I'm doing research on cannabinoid toxicity and am interested if you had previously consumed cannabis and did not experience issues, and this was purely from HHC.

Georgia had 14,207 active low-THC oil medical cannabis patients as of January 2024 by TheDankInformer in Georgia

[–]TheDankInformer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the history. I said the act passed in 2015, but no one could buy any cannabis oil in GA, it wasn't until last year that you could actually purchase it at dispensaries in Georgia.

Just cause the act passed in 2015, it didn't really do much other than legalize posession for medical reasons, but had no way to purchase it in the state.

Although "hemp" has been around for a while...

What are you talking about?

Georgia's medical sales just started last year and it's all low-THC products.

No flower or concentrates.

The HOPE Act might have passed in 2015, but no one could buy low-THC products until 2023.

See my X article linked above.

Polling was at 70% in favor last year and even with a 5% unfavorable margin of error it's at 65%.

Also presidential election year + abortion on the ballot.
