A new report from the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that 1-in-10 high school seniors reported using delta-8 THC, which has less euphoric effects than the more common and regulated delta-9 THC. NBC News’ Dr. Kavita Patel explains the chemical breakdown of the emerging drug dubbed “diet weed.”

#Delta8 #THC #DietWeed
Ad someone with personal experience using D8 i can say it ain’t gor me. And it had side effects such ad itchy skin, headaches, and for the cost of them it wasn’t a good buzz.
Research the labs, to make sure their reports are legit. Not Tested ≠ None Detected
all weed is diet weed.
just look at Snoop 💚
Dnt understand why people smoke that garbage when real weed literally everywhere 🤷🏽🥴
YOU are smoking it in the weed you smoke…. It is extracted, and put into an edible. Nobody’s smoking it, just you.
Still a few states where the real thing is not legal, those backwards states also tend to lock people up for decades for smoking a little weed
@@zzz-ek9ge you tryna sound smart but doing the opposite lol is synthetic so it’s not natural like real weed it comes from weed but in very small tiny quantities so what buying it’s made in a lab not in a tree Einstein 😭
Its a legal workaround for states where weed is illegal and you got no plug.
@@YouCanCallMeReTro makes sense I hope that this ain’t gonna mess people up
Good commercial make you want some. Now I am hungry.
Stop trying to scare people by saying “kids are doing it”.
Teenagers are out looting and car jacking people these days, don’t act like they’re victims.
I like using delta 8, much more calm without a crazy rush, and no confusion, no high.
Then why bother? What’s the point? In my experience, Delta-8 is a complete waste of time and money.
@@OneDollaCheeseit gets u high without the anxiety
@@IbraHim-wn9pw ok. but, he said “no high” lol
@@IbraHim-wn9pw ya what the other guy said 😂 ya dummy.
No high?? Bro I get lifted off delta
Lol people told me. It really doesn’t work
I’ve used it before it actually does work lol. people wouldn’t be buying it if it didn’t…
it does work. dont go crazy taking so many puffs the first time smoking it
Delta 8 is bad for you it’s hemp and gives you headaches
Because a lot of people are not educated with being a stoner so they don’t understand that there are other plants that look very similar but I have none of the properties this is one of them no different than spice
Hemp and cannabis are the same plant. The distinction comes in whether or not the plant contains more or less than 0.3% D-9 after processing and curing. If it has more, it’s federally classified as cannabis. Wouldn’t you feel just silly to know that it’s one of the hundreds of compounds produced by the plant that get smoked along with the “regular stuff.”
Medical marijuana is garbage
This is all by design and its part of the new country. Chinamerica unfortunately
Oh here we go “It looks like gummies and brownies so lets ban it all to protect the dumb teens” talking points again.
Parents need to be parents, dont make it everyone elses problem that they cant do that.
That chick seems like she’d be all fun to get high with.
I’m From the Delta dawn generation 😽🚬🔥
delta 8 is so harsh in vapor form, I really don’t recommend. I’ve never had good delta 8.
so,,,,weed that doesnt get you high……. WHY?
Delta-8 will get you high eventually. You just won’t get the euphoric feeling as in Delta-9. Pain & stress blocking only.
It does get you high, just not as potent, a little more subtle. I use it sometimes as an alternative in states where weed is illegal yet they can still sell this stuff.
trust, it do get you zooted.
@@tringuyen7519 If you are in HS and have pain and stress, it is only going to get worse. Kids need parents to help them cope. This is crazy! I was sprinting out of bed in HS. No pain. Felt amazing every morning.
@@YouCanCallMeReTro delta 9 thc is regular thc, this is the simple maths on the gummy equation from the way I understand it, so you have a 3 gram gummy, the gummy weighs 3 grams so in order to stay in compliance with the .3 percent thc rule you take 3 which is the weight in grams of the gummy in question and then divide that by .3 which gives you 10, that 10 meaning that the 10 is the total milligrams of thc in the gummy but because of the weight of the gummy it does not weigh NEAR 3 grams (10 milligrams is far less than 3 grams) so the total thc compared to the weight of the gummy is only .3 percent while still having 10 milligrams of thc in it which WILL get a lot of people high.
The higher in weight you go the more thc it can have for instance if you have a cookie that weighs say 22 grams you divide that by .3 and and legally have 73.3 milligrams in said cookie!
Lame stuff only the real goods for me
I have lost 200lbs since starting smoking weed. I am getting my life back. Im on regular weed though, i like the high.
Dang usually it gives munchies. Lucky 🍀
srsly, how tf?
@@michaelpineiro533 I started moving, I was free from pain. Not to mention being free from the mind numbing depression 🙂
bro i swear I just can’t stop eating when im high I have to make sure not to eat a lot before I get high so I don’t over eat @@karmasutra4774
You mean you gained 200 lbs right? Because I run through boxes of Cap’n Crunch after I smoke…
Medical association sponsored and only allowed to teach the agenda of the Corporations ….if they dont have the patent they dont want to to use it 😂 no profit .
Thc is illegal in Texas. I am a retired healthcare worker and cancer survivor who lives with extreme daily pain. I was prescribed tramadol for pain, using it for almost 3 years. I started using HHC, CBD, CBG and THC-A October 2023. I haven’t filled a prescription or taken tramadol since December 2023. I did this myself without Dr’s.
Thc-a is federally legal in all states. I won’t go into any more detail than that.
THCA is chefs kiss
HHC is breddy gud 2
Move out of tRump Country.
It’s legal in Montana and it’s works better for my pain than my oxy..
Does Delta crab is pretty much bottom of the barrel barely any THC 😂 you’re much better off microdosing with shrooms and of course actual real full-blown THC products not this crap they’re trying to scare us with
So after my personal research, 9 is better and i dont need to even try 8. 9 is greater than 8. My spiritual journey continues
They are using it because y’all be stressing everyone out making this plant illegal
They’re using it because they can’t buy real pot. If fent addicts could get oxys instead I’m sure they’d use that too. Prohibition is a dangerous game.
😂 yeah but they left out the part that this stuff is barely even weed in the first place so anybody buying it is pretty much wasting their money just because it looks like a nug of weed doesn’t make it a nug of weed😂
Subject: Urgent Action Needed to Protect Religious Freedom and Medicinal Herbs of Rastafari Community
I am writing to you today to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing unlawful attacks on the religious rights and medicinal practices of the Rastafari community. As a member of society who values religious freedom and access to medicinal herbs, I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue.
The Rastafari community has a long-standing tradition of using certain herbs, particularly cannabis, as sacraments in their religious rituals. These herbs are not only integral to their spiritual practices but also have been recognized for their medicinal properties for centuries. It is unjust and unconstitutional to infringe upon their religious rights and deny them access to these sacred and beneficial plants.
Furthermore, scientific research has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of cannabis and cannabinoids in treating various medical conditions, including cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy, and mental health disorders. By prohibiting or restricting access to these herbs, not only are the religious freedoms of the Rastafari community violated, but individuals who could benefit from their medicinal properties are also deprived of potentially life-changing treatments.
I urge you to reconsider any laws or regulations that criminalize the use of cannabis and other medicinal herbs within the Rastafari community. Instead, I implore you to support policies that respect religious diversity and promote access to natural remedies for those in need.
Additionally, I encourage you to engage in meaningful dialogue with representatives from the Rastafari community to better understand their
@ac61900 thats why you get thc-a flower. And it doesnt matter because kids arent old enough to buy weed anyway
This is a dumb take. Kids cant buy weed anyway so theyre irrelevant in the discussion.
its synthetic ……
It’s not synthetic. It comes from hemp.
Most of it is made in china too…
The main component that is synthesized is the step where hemp derived CBD is converted to Delta-8 THC using acids.
Legalize marijuana federally already. I am tired of being labeled a criminal by half-wits.
Feel exactly the same!
You’re a criminal to your own body and mind.
News Networks are not satisfied until they impact active laws.
Responsibility = Parents>Teens
Yeah it’s sad cuz it’s more dangerous then the real stuff and they’d rather have us having panic attacks then chilling out
Smoking on one right now lol but I’m 24 just saying
Delta LAME. Grow your own if you can. Nothing is better than as nature intended.
Right, grow your own weed at home when you’re in high school, living with your parents. Great advice 😂
If you don’t smoke cannabis full time then leave the subject alone don’t even say the word just leave it alone it is none of your business
“Dr.” Camina looked as excited about this as if she were pushing the new hula hoop. What a bunch of low-lives.
Lulz. Marijuana… Silly propaganda…
Talking about delta 8 when it’s the blues that are killing.
Ibogaine
Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is a gateway to cheesing. Do your kids smell like cat urine?
Yes, but we have 7 cats.
I’m naive to those things. What does Cat Urine have to do with it?
South Park Season 12 Episode 3@@lawrenceleverton7426
Just stop all the nonsense and legalize it federally. Ffs
Every dope fiends fantasy.
@@benitosalazar3749″dope fiend” for weed? Ridiculous.
You’re asking this 6 years after the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018?
Try to keep up.
You’re a little late…
You just found out about this now !!??
I need delta 10 to come out lol
Delta-8/Delta-9 ohhhkkay Cabron
I’m an adult. I smoke the good weed!😂
Yeah it’s a real stoners like You and I we can see that this is not only a bunch of garbage but this was somebody’s way to try to trick the youth into buying what they thought was kind of weird but not really at all it’s like bottom of the barrel less than shwagg😂
Just legalize it
Weed
It looks like ppl who smoke Delta 9 are not missing anything.
Why would I want delta-8? The real stuff is cheaper.
😂😂😂😊 yeah this crap doesn’t even rise to the level of shwagg😂😂😂😂 young adult these days are so incredibly dumb
Don’t mess with that or THCa. Too many chemicals are used.
THCA is weed.
@@LIVEMETRIX187 thca is delta 8 bulshet fake stuff. Stay from delta 8 people.
It could be way worse, back in the K2 spice era my friends and I almost died when we combined that with alcohol.
Oh man that K2 is some other stuff. Especially mixed with alcohol. I ended up on probation taking those two combinations.
Teenagers now just take ANYTHING. It’s scary. You don’t really know what’s in this stuff that you’re getting from people. “They” can tell you it’s one thing, but it could really be something else…and even if you did know, you have NO WAY OF KNOWING how your body’s going to react to it. Your friend might take some and be cool, but you may not be! 😶😶😶
Peer Pressure. Every Generation has it. Choose wisely. And don’t end up on SS Disability when you torch your brain.
Ill will continue to smoke my normal weed 😅
“Yeah man my dog 🐕 ate my stash, so I had to Follow him around for 3 days.” “I wonder what Great Dane tastes like 😂.”
Don’t do anything really to be alarm about , safer for them i would think really. Kids,mostly teens going to do “Adult” stuff , always been like that . Nohting one can do to stop it from happing . If there away , teens will find it!
Candy, no wonder children are eating them. Looks like candy
😂😂😂 okay but a real pothead will tell you that this crap is literally the bottom of the barrel when it comes to weed😂 barley even worth calling it THC😂 this is a joke right?
So for all you non stoners out…. This crap is less than what we would even call sHwagg😂. Garbage.. Bunk.. kids are so stupid these days that they will fall for this and that is exactly why somebody came out and made it possible for them to have it because they know that adults have common sense and know that this crap is not real and completely a waste of money when you have a good connect or can just go to a real dispensary which isn’t that difficult to get to trust me we can find weed wherever but this crap is hilarious somebody is making big money off the stupidity of other people’s kids..
Do you not fail drug tests from this?
So what I’m understanding is that shittier weed and y’all are fear mongering
🙏🙏
Its fully synthetic, dpnt fall for that thc bullshet. Its all synthetic and dangerous. Its your choice.
it’s partially synthetic bc it’s naturally found in weed, in low amounts.
@@LIVEMETRIX187 u are playing with fire. Stay away from all that delta 8 stuff.
@@phoenixrexx6571 if you use lab tested delta 8 you’re really not playing with fire.
If it isnt from a dispensary where you have to show a proper Marijuana license then guess what it is
can the government make Delta 8 available to 18 year old adults? everyone in HS has D8 ong. look at the way im typing, i would kno. Only adults tho
Yup, it’s going to shrink your waist along with your brain😅
If they make it illegal ill just smoke delta 9, 10, 11 however many there are LOL
Worst generation ever! They can’t even smoke weed correctly.
Tetra Hydro Cannabinol
Glad i’m Canadian..
*kevin hart voice * People like getting high so what
Try Moonrock or Cereal Milk THCA Hemp flower.
Your worried about side effects in a gummy? And not everything else lol seriously
weed should not be legal, its makes people more stupid they they usually are.
😂😂😂
exactly! fentanyl makes you so much smarter bro!
It unconstitutional to ban cannabis or cannabinoids because it medical plant use lot of religion
Stop infringing on freedom of religion
Cannabis cannabinoids never killed some one
Cannabis cannabinoids is not the problem the problem is kkk right wing
Go after guns
Dispensary owners who are mostly the people making the laws wanna outlaw delta 8 because it’s taking most of they money they know if people can’t get delta 8 they’ll end up having to go to the dispensary and over paying for the same things
delta 8 kinda sucks i don’t know anyone who prefers it over weed
@@newmoonwithfacepeople with low tolerance and people that normal wee gives anxiety to delta 8 is good for.
Bruh just do the real thing lol, be a man
Lemme get that delta-19
I noticed it’s best to only take the gummies without smoking anything else tho. When I take the gummies I have to make sure I don’t smoke while using it.
If i want get high i just get the weed that grows around my house 😊
Bahaha 😂 it’s government weed all Delta is that’s a fact 💯
It does almost nothing. I’ve tried it… it’s a joke.
So it’a legal. What about the diet perks?
Stop 🛑 trying to make everything illegal you weirdos
The new hemp farm bill will allow even more hemp sorry Charlie if you can’t compete with hemp then you need to innovative your product stop trying to lobby your competitors.. losers
I get more panic attacks with delta then the real good stuff
It’s no differents then an energy drink take a few hits and off you go… good stuff you may want wait about 1 hour if your a newbie or younger because it’s like wwweeeeeewwwweeeee😊
PLEASE do yourself a favor and get your medical card and get the real deal 😎👍
I use delta 8 for chronic pain from an autoimmune disease and my anxiety and bipolar disorder. It really helps and it’s not for “getting high”.
Delta 8 rocks, BUT not for kids, and definitely needs way more clear dosing suggestions, as especially with gummies, if you have a low tolerance, you take one, if you have a high tolerance, you might take 3, and your cool. BUT, if anyone who decides that after 1 and half, still feels nothing, and then decides to gobble down the other 9 in the bag (normally 12), they are likely going to the ER, and they should, So, I get the concerns now as well, but bans are not one
Anythi g that gets you high , Americans love it thenwhen things get out of hand,. Blame china
Tried it twice from two different brands and both times I had hear palpitations and got extremely dizzy. I only took half a gummy once and it was terrible. Everyone reacts differently. Y’all be safe!
Get rid of it
Delta 8…. when you don’t have the balls to buy actual cannabis.
Delta 8 is the equivalent of drinking mouth wash for the alcohol….
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.
THC is the active ingredient in cannabis. It makes you stupid which is why progressives want as many people as possible to use it.
So it’s weak.
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
You can’t wear that suit then pretend you don’t know what delta 8 is.
Shouldn’t have made it legal. Children smoking or eating marijuana is the consequence.
…so this says nothing…
Those gummies look good 😋
Don’t have anything against weed but those who smoke it atleast shower when you go out in public y’all stank everything up
