The 2018 Farm has created a loophole for an unregulated copycat of pot. It’s legal to sell edibles that contain delta-9 THC (the psychoactive ingredient in weed) from hemp, but these products are often much stronger than they say on the label and lack age verification, safety testing, or accurate dosing. In a new lab study, researchers found that “Hemp 9 Edibles” on the market can be up to 3.7 times stronger than indicated, and that almost half use THC converted from CBD.

Thc 9 edibles interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, causing euphoria and relaxation. It can lead to addiction, and if not used responsibly, it may increase risk of depression or anxiety. Delta-9 THC can also cause cannabis withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it suddenly. The best way to minimize the risk of thc 9 edibles addiction is to use them only as directed and to eat only one at a time.

Ingestion of D9-THC produces a much slower and longer-lasting effect than inhalation, with the initial psychoactive effects taking about 20 to 30 minutes to appear and peak at 2 to 3 hours after ingestion. Moreover, it is difficult to calculate exact pharmacologic equivalency of orally administered D9-THC because of the high variability of individual responses to ingested cannabis. This can be attributed to a variety of factors, including weight, metabolism, gender, and eating habits. It is for these reasons that it is recommended that patients titrate their dose until they achieve desired effects (Grotenhermen, 2003). Those with poor literacy skills or who have several medications should carefully review label information before consuming thc 9 edibles.
