NBC News’ Dr. Kavita Patel explains the chemical breakdown of the emerging drug dubbed “diet weed.”

#Delta8 #THC #DietWeed
cause joe is making everyone’s life miserable that’s why….
So it’s CBD not THC?
I mean the issue isn’t delta, it’s lack of regulation. Also, almost every person using that delta would prefer to just smoke some normal weed
Being born in 2003 I witnessed first hand the change in nicotine products in highschool from traditional cigarettes and dip to juul to disposables
I want weed not hemp.
theyre usin it cuz u wnna ban a plant and now teens are getting hurt cuz u just cant be real
How to say absolutely nothing with a lot of words 😂 legacy media is so fake and I’m glad it is dying.
I been trying to find weed gummies freeze dried, no dispensaries have them but I also don’t want to shell out $800 to make my gummies crunchy
So it’s weak.
Driving
8 years from now I’ll pass the J to lil homie he’ll be like 😦😦😦
Delta 8 is fake
THCA and Delta 9 are real
Get rid of it
Delta 8 is probably at least a little better in terms of damage compared to delta 9
He be like " What IS delta-8 THC and where can I get it? ! " XD
Maybe cuz it’s CANDY!!!?
Why he struggling to say THC 😂
how does this channel have 9.74m followers and only gets 224 likes in 24 hours? That ratio makes it seem like this channel actually only has 1000-4000 actual viewers. Do advertisers not know when channels boost number? BTW how much would boosting subs up by nearly 10m cost? O did some math, at about $20 per 150 subs it cost about $1.2 million for the amount of subs needed for the like to sub ratio to make sense.
Shouldn’t have made it legal. Children smoking or eating marijuana is the consequence.
Jesus Christ the amount of people who know nothing about Delta 8 THC, let alone about THC and just keep talking is incredible. Delta 8 THC is found naturally in cannabis but in very low amounts, the D8 used in most carts is synthesized from CBD and if bought from a legit company with lab testing it won’t have pesticides or other harmful chemicals. It’s not some “synthetic” k2 weed, it’s legit cannabinoids who bind differently than D9 THC to the endocannabinoid receptors and as result produce a more mild and clear headed high. Please stop with the fear mongering
Delta 8…. when you don’t have the balls to buy actual cannabis.
Hey yall. Big fan of thc over here but please don’t use it as a teenager. Wait till you’re at least 19 and then have a good time
How would police differentiate Delta 8 from delta 9?😮
If u are thinking about eating delta 8 gummies dont do it. Even at small doses….. definitely dont eat a big dose. You will probably lose it. It not only gets u high. It makes u have a full hallucinogenic trip thats really unpleasant and nauseating. DO NOT do it.
D8 is semi synthetic. It is naturally occurring but can only be extracted with scientific intervention. Unlike D9 which you can get straight from smoking the bud. It in theory like many of the other naturally occurring cannabis should be safe. But lack of regulation and safety means almost anyone with the knowledge can make and sell it. A good rule of thumb, any brand you see in a gas station. Stay far away from. Imagine weed just being legal and not being worried about what you’re consuming. Would be nice
PS STAY AWAY FROM CAKE
Delta 8 is the equivalent of drinking mouth wash for the alcohol….
Considering we have immature and dumb people in this industry who like to use immature and cartoon like packaging and even copyrighted theft I am not surprised
You can’t wear that suit then pretend you don’t know what delta 8 is.
Rooting for ky to legalize it im hoping soon but idk
Based
Those gummies look good 😋
Delta 8 and delta 9 is hemp. Hemp is not made to smoke or eat. If kids are getting a hold of it in ways of how teens get a hold of alcohol. Majunnia is a lot better than any hemp. Hemp is used for clothing and jewelry.. This state needs to come into an era where the lies of saying majunnia is bad. Majunnina is not bad.. Hemp is it’s not made to digest..
Every single person i know that has used or uses all this stuff always do it for the same reason: weed is illegal(D9). Vets using it for pain but would still be better off and would bring a massive piece of mind if they could use D9.
Everyone has their reasons for using it but nobody would if they had the safer option. **** Texas. There are so many things *** backwards about this state it makes me want to vomit. Weed is just the tip of the iceberg and probably lower on the totem pole of problems we face.
It’s a weed, it’s NOT a drug. Nothing has changed with these closed minded FASCISTS, and socialist criminals that comprise our government.
I like how he asks "what does it do?" And she doesn’t answer
THC is the active ingredient in cannabis. It makes you stupid which is why progressives want as many people as possible to use it.
nothing wrong with d8. i get paranoid with regular d9 thc. d8 is more mellow
why not make it like Tylenol when it comes to gummy THC is way safer than Tylenol fewer side effects you can’t overdose on it whereas Tylenol you can easily and very beneficial idk why these and age limit or ban on Nonsmokable cannabis products because people of all ages could benefit from it and it’s the safest thing medical wise when it comes in edible form it’s even an anti-inflammatory without the risks of the anti-inflammatory’s over the counter like ibuprofen or naproxen which have some wild health risks and side effect when compared to THC in edible form
…so this says nothing…
A friend with weed is a friend indeed.
F u nbc, Delta 9 is not more regulated. Also, ppl use this to get off bud and help turn their life around. Kids have an easier time getting a hold of the real thin than this. You actually need an ID to buy delta 8, where u can go to any city and find someone selling unregulated weed
Humans right do drug
dumbasses
It doesn’t even get you high, it’s a scam!
long-term smokers most likely tend to become skinny.. It’s in the drug and alcohol abuse lecture from college, lol
I love eat delta 8 gunny
As someone who knows everything about cannibus, why would they make Delta 8 illegal, it in No way can get you high. It must be something else, maybe the fact that the tax from the sales go’s to education.
Kids simply follow the trend. Healthy kids shouldn’t consume any of it at all at least till they grow up first….except disordered or having medical conditions.its not bad that they use it but that simply makes them lazy and silly, and very ignorant as they feel all “knowing”.
Don’t have anything against weed but those who smoke it atleast shower when you go out in public y’all stank everything up
What’s the percentage of teens drinking🤡 it’s about Greed NJ is so GREEDY overlap these vidos to one’s done during the vape ban😂 tobacco companies paid to get rid of vapes and now dispensaries of marijuana is paying to get rid of hemp
