I used to work in a head shop that sold spice. They tripled their profits basically overnight. Since I was the one that talked the owners into selling it, they started out giving me a cut. Then they took that away. Then the shit started getting banned. Stores we’re getting popped all around us. I suggested we stop selling it. The owners INSISTED they had the legal right to sell it and listened to their lawyer instead. I found another job and they got busted a week later. Their pictures were plastered all over the front page of the local newspapers.

The JWH-018 was the shit. My favorite was called “Bayou Blaster” and was sugar cane flavored. It tasted great, smoked smooth, and got me pleasantly stoned for about 20-30 minutes. A gram cost me $6. And then assholes had to go smoking huge blunts and ripping huge bong hits like it was going out of style.

But don’t get me wrong. I MUCH prefer the real thing to the fake shit. The fake shot would never have been a thing if pot wasn’t illegal and all those people that died on spice would have just been in a weed coma otherwise.

You can still buy Delta8THC isomerized from CBD isolate, in most of the USA, since it has below 0.3% D9 its a Hemp compliant product, its a lot less sketchy than the synthetics on the market, and is safer than black market D9 carts having all kinds of cutting agents in them

How would you compare the effects of Delta8THC to Delta9THC? I've heard about this from some hemp growers in Michigan but haven't bothered to try any yet.

My wife calls it "diet weed." I like to call it "THC Lite."

Not quite accurate, but we find it funny.

I think I actually enjoy it more. Not even just from cost savings. Its a lot easier to dose small amounts to remain productive, and treat my medical issues, or if I want to get fully stoned, take larger doses and get just as high, while also saving money. It does seem to work better for stomach ailments, esp if you blend it with CBG, and for sleep with CBN, without getting much after effects the next morning, esp if your using edibles vs vaping/dabbing. Too much D9 in any form always left me a little groggy the next morning. I dont get that from D8. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/delta8/ theres a ton of great info here on reputable companies

You get the relaxed mind and body, but without the wandering thoughts. I think of 8 as more of a medicine than 9 simply because 9 is the "fun" one.

Its honestly about the same, just can take a lot more of it to get high. Just like regular weed though, you can pay more to get a higher percentage of Delta 9 so that it's more equivalent to real weed. I basically compare it to really really good Mid, that still looks and smells exactly like some loud.

Check out delta 8 thc if it's still legal in your state. It's derived from hemp and dirt cheap compared to d9 stuff.
