Daily News | Legal but unregulated hemp derivative delta-8 thrives in Pa.’s thorny marijuana landscape
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania lawmakers and advocates for legal cannabis say uneven access to marijuana has pushed consumers toward a widely available — but unregulated — psychoactive product whose exact contents are often impossible to discern.
In Pennsylvania, some consumers have turned to it for its reported milder side effects, and because of the state’s complex cannabis landscape: Accessing medical marijuana can be time-consuming and costly, and recreational cannabis remains illegal. “My concern initially came from the fact that there may be youth that are using this product as an alternative to recreational marijuana to get high,” Schwank said, “and may inadvertently be poisoning themselves with other products that are inside.”When it first appeared on shelves, delta-8 seemed to be a godsend to people who didn’t want to buy cannabis illegally or who couldn’t access Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program.
But these tests are optional for delta-8 manufacturers, said Pennsylvania cannabis pharmacist Lauren Vrabel. John argued that the concerns about solvents contaminating delta-8 products are overblown. If a chemist manufactures delta-8 edibles correctly, John argued, they have to remove almost all of the solvent, or the distillation process won’t work.
There’s also another wrinkle of uncertainty. John noted that testing delta-8 products for delta-9 levels isn’t straightforward and that it can be difficult to know which labs are reliable. “They make you jump through so many hoops to get the card in the first place,” O’Neill said. “I tried delta-8. … It did what I needed.”In Pennsylvania, aannually, and the required yearly appointment with a doctor can range from about $100 to $300.
