Delta 8 THC: The 'legal' version of marijuana
Delta 8 THC: The 'legal' version of marijuana
Delta 8 THC, a new product on the market, is being called “weed lite.” Unlike your standard marijuana, Delta 8 THC is being sold legally to buyers without a prescription.
“The difference, we’re talking about Delta 9 being cannabis, Delta 8 being available in hemp. If it’s hemp, it is legal. Still gets you stoned and it is made legal under the same laws that made CBD legal,” said Carlos Hermida, owner of the Chillum Glass Gallery and CBD Dispensary in Ybor City.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says the products are the “next step in the way to stone America.”

Delta 8 is very very mild of a high….. Let’s calm down sheriff. Even real pot is ok to drive with… Idc who you are. Officers on their computers are more dangerous…
I bet this officer pound down some lights back to back on the weekends.
😂😂
Legalize it
this stuff doesnt even get you high it makes no sense to be a store they shouldnt have this in stores because it doesnt get you the feel you want like your regular smoke u buy this store stuff seems fake tbh
That stupid ass cop! He needs some Delta-8.
Who the hell is that sheriff to say if people need a certain medication or not? He’s not a doctor. You never know what a person is going through in their life. Nobody should have to explain or justify their medical situation to nosey bullies with badges.
Jesus loves you all so much . i pray that many blessings come your way . repent for your sins and accept Jesus in your heart . God bless you all!🖤
lmao this guy is talking about people driving when "stoned" could be bad. He must not realize being "stoned" would make you more alert and cautious while driving. Its alcohol that is killing people on the road not weed what a tard.
If some one makes the irresponsible
Bro that’s what it’s all ab I’m happy
alcohol is fine tho.
I bet he drinks but no that’s ok…. Smh
Maybe if you didn’t make it so hard for patients to access legal & affordable medicine, then people wouldn’t keep finding alternative means.
Yeah man I had just a little bit of D8 and I smashed my brothers skull in with a rock!
“When you smoke Marihuana, you’re likely to go insane and kill your brother!” – DEA Harry Anslinger. His grandson is still head of the DEA. We haven’t changed as a country. The USA Government has a PATENT on CBD because they realized it had so many great benefits like specifically they mentioned it’s ability to protect the human brain’s neurons from disease and degeneration. BUT WE CANT HAVE IT TO BE HEALTHY, JUST THEM! ITS SICK! Biden said that Cannabis is a “gateway drug.” I wish I could have my ballot back until he stopped being so goddamn sleepy.
A friend with weed is a friend indeed.
Super
delta 8 is stupid af
Bro you got Dr. Phil up here in as a cop trying tell us about delta 8 LOL. Leave it be, there is no warning. Enjoy the herb and enjoy your life stop being so uptight about it, maybe you need to enjoy some yourself.
That sheriff is the reason we can’t have it legalized, stop worrying about what people are smoking it because they need it. In fact I wish he could smoke some and see how much his opinion would change
Driving high on CBD 😂
He’ll enjoy it when he retire.
This is false information
It’s funny that these "news" stories only serve to make people much more aware. Had it not been for, what I’m sure was meant to be fear inducing, stories from media I would have never known there was a legal loophole to get stoned in illegal states. Thanks useful news-idiots for spreading the word.
Sounds like too much science for me
That cop sounds dumb. People have been smoking weed and will forever be doing it whether it’s legal or not. Nothing will change because people been smoking by the masses. They just won’t be going to jail for it anymore.
So is basically is low mids…
How much alcohol do you think that sheriff consumes in a week
Quit playin Sheriff, alcohol is FACTUALLY known to be abused at an incredibly higher and more deadly rate. This is a complete disappointment. I liked him at one point.
Repulsing, judgmental, and prejudice
Delta 8 gets you high if you’ve smoked one bowl in your entire life time.
That Sheriff is such a scum bag, I’ve seen in on youtube a bunch. Saying that he’s worried about people taking it and driving is no reason to ban something from responsible adults who want to decide what is best for their own body. There are already DUI laws to lock people up who drive impaired.
Thanks to Trump signing the farm bill, this will always be federally legal. Anything derived from hemp is legal. Sorry, DEA. You’ll get sued if you try to ban it🤷🏻♂️
Nobody believe this
Delta 8 is straight mid! Buy from a dealer
Grady Judd, lol kick that guy out…
Lol a warning
Way to demonize it Fox. 👍
Of course, it’s not going to be safe driving while using it; just as it wouldn’t be with many other legal substances. No one is talking about driving and smoking Delta 8. Another Fox 8 story to scare viewers and building views.
I love delta 8.
I bet some people at fox bonged some beers with their anus yet here they are.
Stoned driving isn’t dangerous. Distracted driving is so simple dont get distracted
Government can f*ck off. If you regulate this, we should revolt. All they want to do is add a 30% tax on it which would make it just as expensive as d9, and have a reason to charge you without a med card.
This is a horribly inaccurate "news" story. The cop is typically ignorant, and you cannot get a dui from cannabis. They cannot prove when you smoked.
NEWS FLASH: AMERICA IS ALREADY STONED
wow ,this entire clip is full of falsehoods . Please check and research more .This is not accurate at all." 2 hits from pure marijuana is not the same as 3 hits of delta 8 " WTF !
I love Sheriff Grady but his opinion is actually hilarious. Poor guy. This is just herbal medicine in another form. Nobody with a brain gets it from a gas station.
delta 8 all the way baby
Camel’s nose under the tip 🐪👃
I’d say its a solution to opioid addition…with I believe is the gateway drug…as a child being born on medicine. Also taking the meds inhibits sense of comfort with taking the "drug" prescribed…so I believe in organic medication…no offense to anyone elses believes
Spice as it’s known in the UK and now it’s banned because the effects zombies in the city centres like statues
