"As a parent, it is concerning knowing so many of these products are floating around and often intentionally marketed towards children with their packaging and flavors. #Intoxicatinghemp gummies you can purchase at a gas station are double or triple the dosage than you could find at any medical #cannabis dispensary in #Florida." loom.ly/r8gHnxA

⚠️ New research reveals alarming public health risks from synthetic cannabinoids flooding the market. A recent scientific analysis identified multiple previously unknown synthetic compounds being sold under misleading product names, with structures that cannot be detected by standard forensic methods. These lab-created substances bear striking similarities to the dangerous Spice/K2 compounds that caused a health crisis in 2015. Without proper monitoring and regulation, these compounds pose significant risks similar to semisynthetic cannabinoids like HHC, which has already been banned in over 20 European countries and several US states.

FYI: Most "hemp" products aren't hemp at all‼️ Our recent comprehensive study found 95% of tested products contain synthetic cannabinoids resembling dangerous street drugs like "Spice" and "K2" – which sent thousands of users to emergency rooms across the country. Products marketed as "hemp-derived," including ones like "Euphorinol" claiming to be "80X STRONGER than Delta-9 THC," aren't natural at all—they're chemically manufactured substances with unpredictable effects and serious safety risks.

“Licensed operators are not fighting to ban those products, but to require regulation across the board. If the legal industry has to follow these strict rules, then so should everyone else. The issue isn’t that hemp-derived Delta-9 is inherently bad — it’s that there are no guardrails, and people think it’s the same thing as regulated cannabis.” loom.ly/dgIJtSY #CAleg #AB8 #intoxicatinghemp #cannabis

⚠️ Alarming new research highlights severe risks of synthetic cannabinoids: A recent case report documents a regular cannabis user who stabbed himself in the chest after consuming just 8mg of Delta-9-THCP, a highly potent phytocannabinoid now being sold at dispensaries. Despite having no history of psychotic symptoms, the patient experienced 48 hours of psychosis, including depersonalization and the belief he had died. This case adds to growing evidence that Delta-9-THCP is dangerously potent, with even experienced THC users vulnerable to adverse effects due to its significantly stronger binding properties.

⚠️ New study reveals disturbing health risks of Delta-8-THC products marketed as "legal hemp" with multiple cases of patients developing severe psychiatric symptoms—including psychosis—after using these products, resulting in hospitalization.

Resolution introduced in #Hawaii’s House of Representatives claimed there are “allegedly over eighty-four illegal dispensary operators” in Hawaii, and “the number continues to grow exponentially,” while some lawmakers accuse law enforcement of not doing enough to shut the stores down. “The surge of illegal dispensary operators selling #cannabis labeled as #hemp is a public health and safety epidemic.” loom.ly/t-UT8KE #intoxicatinghemp

"There are so many things hemp is, but it shouldn't be your medicine. But unfortunately for many, that's the only option they have... This is the importance of legalization. This is the importance of you speaking up if you're buying from this billion-dollar hemp industry." loom.ly/H06CAho
