So the fake version of the drug is less dangerous than the real version? Awesome. Fucking America, I swear to god, this place is really a developing nation.

Ladies and gentleman, the DEA has just reached a new level of retardation.

This is where your tax dollars go. God damn governments.

I can't say I'm surprised, but this seems to be incredibly hypocritical to me.

No, no, no.

  1. Synthetic THC and its isomers are in Schedule I under the name of "tetrahydrocannabinols". Cannabis derived THC is in Schedule I under the name of "marihuana".
  2. A preparation of synthetic THC that is dissolved in sesame oil and placed into capsules is in Schedule III. It's called MarinolĀ® and the THC inside of it is given a common name of "dronabinol" because drug companies don't like chemical acronyms as drug names.
  3. The DEA allowed a new preparation of synthetic THC in an orally dosed solution and they've placed that preparation into Schedule II so that pharma companies can sell it legally. By definition, drugs in Schedule I have "no accepted medical use", so they moved this preparation into a different Schedule. They're saying this new preparation has an accepted medical use whereas they claim all other preparations of THC, aside from their Schedule III preparation, has no accepted medical use. https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/rules/2017/fr0323_6.htm

That is all. Nothing has actually changed.

THC is THC... It's not an analog, it's just synthetically produced. Whether it's produced in a lab or in a natural plant, the chemical is exactly the same in the end.

Does this mean that vaping a small bottle of honey hemp cbd 150mg will show up on a state probation urine test
