However they technically legalized the synthetic versions while keeping the naturally occurring illegal.

Actually they figured out a way to derive delta 9 from hemp, so you can now have the real thing, just synthetic.

Not quite the real thing; the circus of cannabinoids is what makes pot appealing. Delta-9 is a small but significant subset.

It’s like the opiates vs opium comparison.

Delta 9 is the active chemical that gets you high. Most vapes are a straight extract unless otherwise specified. It is identical to a product on dispensary shelves.

If you want the whole kit and kaboodle, you can go significantly BEYOND the real stuff by mixing 8, 9, 10, d8thco, d9thco, CBD, and readd a terpene mix, that would be closer to your opiate/opium comparison.

Agree with you here. I call these "connesseuir blends" and you can definitely snipe a specific high like this. I'd love to start seeing more d8 research though, I know that it functions with two receptors instead of d9's one, and in the past 6 months or so I've been experimenting solely with it over d9. It seems to me like some of the negative effects that come from heavy d9 use are not present in d8, or are lessened.

Secondary: I don’t buy vapes, mostly flower and prerolls. I get full spectrum or nada.

It’s not even worth it to mess with those “cannabis products” that are so limited. My wife does like CBD however
