Tennesseans getting high on new "legal weed" Delta-8

Delta-8 is a cannabinoid derived from hemp that is legally sold in Tennessee. The USDA’s Farm Bill allows the sale of Delta 8 THC in Tennessee, but more than 16 other states, including some that legalized marijuana, have already banned it.

    It has nothing to do with if it is marijuana or hemp I get just as high if not higher on Delta 8 as I do on Delta 9, and THCO is supposed to be 3time better than marijuana ,so this show’s how dumb they are

    Ive lived in Tennessee all my life. I love this state more than life itself. Tennessee used to produce the finest tobacco and marijuana in the entire country. later on we became known for tobacco and whiskey. I think its time we legalize marijuana and become famous for all three.

    Doesn’t get you high..more like a "lil" REGGIE buzz..πŸ’―

    Weed helps so many things. And we know it’s much safer than alcohol. I think some people are still influenced by the propaganda campaign against it decades ago. They actually made a video about it to sell the fear. In it they had people taking one hit from a joint and going crazy. It’s actually very much the opposite. Sure, you may sit around and contemplate why donuts have a hole in the middle, but it’s not like people go all psycho… it’s actually very peaceful. Maybe the U.S. needs more weed. πŸ™‚

    .03% THC, are you serious, that wouldn’t get an ant high. I live in WA and I never purchase strain with less than 23% THC. I just turned 72.



  6. donnie spoon on January 23, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    No whats sad is all of us setting around talking about how sad it is,we need to all get together and tell our government and states that we had enough ,no more , any law that is just stupid are coming off he books ,the only crimes they should be investigating is people that kill , steal,and rape , other than that there is no crime ,when the government make law to put it’s on citizen in jail that government would be taken out ,they act like they own the earth but they don’t, if you are hungry you can’t even hunt food , cause if you hungry then you don’t have the money for hunting license, it’s time and I mean everyone on this earth need to put a stop to all government,

    Wish you pot heads would fight for children’s as hard as you do to legalize getting high. SMMFH



  8. rick james on January 23, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    them girls lookin like they going to go buy some after work



  9. Tom File on January 23, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    Legalize it. The fed should change it from a schedule 1.



  10. BirdBoy on January 23, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    Delta 8 doesn’t really get you "high".



  11. Christmas In July Productions on January 23, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    What is this 1932? Cannabis, marijuana, hemp all the same plant.



  12. vali68 chrysler on January 23, 2022 at 9:22 pm

    legalize it, dont criticize it,



  13. Alien z on January 23, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    It does not work.



  14. Sir Picklestien on January 23, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    Feel like if we just go ahead and legalize it the people in Tennessee would legitimately feel calmer or at the least less stress physically. lot of people out here crazy (and get crazier) if you leave the social stigma behind weed and give just delta 8 a try people would just relax a bit from the pressures of life. It’s not for everyone but a lot of people in Tennessee clearly want it!



  15. ChristianX Z owner on January 23, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    Man are from the moon woman from mars



  16. SooSkiTzO on January 23, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    Alcohol is horrible for u but its legal, but can’t legalize weed. Smfh



  17. Magic Jesus on January 23, 2022 at 9:33 pm

    Build another moonshine still, a jail, and, a court, Tennessee. Got enough churches? Maybe you can pray it legal.



  18. Jacob Ishii on January 23, 2022 at 9:33 pm

    Bunk science



  19. C.G D on January 23, 2022 at 9:34 pm

    I love our country
    I do not love weed being illegal
    Whatever it’s not like they stopped or are going to stop people from smoking weed and getting high



  20. She Got Music on January 23, 2022 at 9:34 pm

    Please do your own due diligence. This level of misinformation can be fatal. Delta 8 is a synthetic cannabinoid.



  21. Alien z on January 23, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    It literally does not get you high at all



  22. Dave Levang on January 23, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    The FDA does not want ppl to have something that actually helps. especially if they can grow it themselves, or buy it untaxed. They want you to be hooked on Opiates , and Big Pharma for the rest of your life! The FDA will soon be gone, they are evil to the core, and were intended kill us for profit!



  23. Nic S on January 23, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    Spice stinks. Smoke weed



  24. Mickey Gunz on January 23, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    This is such BS



  25. Brian Olsen on January 23, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    MARKER 2:24 So it’s not approved by the boys at the FDA lab? HUH> Well how bout we make it an Emergency Use exemption. If we give Fauchi a cut he can get it done pronto!!
    raker 2:42 Sounds like some is a Bogart



  26. listen up on January 23, 2022 at 9:43 pm

    There is no high in delta 8… no Thc …. check out the ingredients. The people can teach the government how to sell it. Who do they think use it..



  27. Miles Marshall on January 23, 2022 at 9:43 pm

    Wow, what a waist of time… Why not make sure that real sick people never get healed! THC is the Cancer fighter… What a joke!



  28. Douglas Alfseike on January 23, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Forget "legalizing" simply repeal racist "laws"! Free it! Legalizing means greedy fook’s/faulks are wanting profits! If you live in a "State of ___" (name your state) your not in the Republic anymore! But a money making corporation! Do research! Get your birth certificate & certificate of live birth! It may get you out of "court issues" where games happen, and not to our advantage because we don’t know the "game their playing"!



  29. Mike Waisnor on January 23, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    The one thing I can say about my shity state is at least we are legal for recreation



  30. gotnokittys on January 23, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    All the lawmakers care about is how to bleed money from the public. Or power.



  31. birddog on January 23, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    Interesting



  32. gotnokittys on January 23, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    If you want the low strength smoke, that you can do anything while smoking it, get some seedy low power brickweed, and grow that. It breeds true. And is usually a sativa.



  33. ITZ RAGY on January 23, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    I WAS DOING THAT IN TENNESSEE BEFORE IT WAS COOOOOOL I SET A TREEEEENNNDDDDDD



  34. JACK DEVAINE on January 23, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    Did’ent they once all say "stop the madness"
    They do not care.
    stay natural.
    Try to grow your own.
    At lease you will know alot about the ingredients you use and what they do.



  35. MacLomax on January 23, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    Regular weed has all those side effects if you use too much, or it’s your first time.



  36. A AA on January 23, 2022 at 9:51 pm

    It’s great! It’s better than D9 from the streets. You don’t get a hangover with Delta 8. You may also talk with no speech slurred when you’re lit from it. I can do my computer and still focus on mine. And I be straight booted! If it was the stuff from the streets, I would be lazy and barely moving. This stuff is good y’all. Just try it.



  37. Solid Rock on January 23, 2022 at 9:53 pm

    Legalize the real stuff. We need weed to be happy



  38. Tavpanda on January 23, 2022 at 9:54 pm

    πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ so they charge more for mid grade vs top shelf 🀫



  39. John Duff on January 23, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    I thought the newscaster was going to say, "This is sooo fascinating! I’m gonna go out & try it!" 03:20



  40. radical gaming clips and highlights on January 23, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Good lord its time to end this petty war on cannabis. Its silly at this point. Let me tell u nobody gets high off 0.03 percent. It’s a placebo effect



  41. John Falcon on January 23, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Marijuana is a spanish word. Translation please.



  42. Zach on January 23, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    The "adverse events" were literally just symptoms of getting too high lmao



  43. SmallCreek Running on January 23, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    The weed that they’re selling looks so bad. I can’t believe that people are smoking that bammer weed.



  44. YDCFF on January 23, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    This is another scam to sell the sheep a man made product to poison their bodies with like Big Pharma does with pills. Cannabis comes from God and is 100% natural. I wont touch that artificial stuff.



  45. Sir Picklestien on January 23, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    Who do we have to vote for to get this legalizing bill rolling Fr?! πŸ—³



  46. Israel Grace on January 23, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    O’rah DD gotta do something about it do this.



  47. Felipe Ramos on January 23, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    So bammer moon rocks



  48. MacLomax on January 23, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    Hot chick on the left is surprised it got by her.



  49. Devon Sandner on January 23, 2022 at 10:10 pm

  50. Ardent Cascades on January 23, 2022 at 10:11 pm
