**Cannabis products** being sold at gas stations can be a **complex and risky** situation. Some key points: 1. **Delta-8 THC Products**: - **Availability**: Delta-8 THC products are **widely available** in the U.S., including gas stations and corner stores. - **Legal Status**: Delta-8 THC is considered legal in all 50 states as a synthetic alternative to cannabis. - **Effects**: These products can still produce a **"high"**, despite being touted for their moderate effects. - **Adverse Reactions**: Over **2,300 cases of accidental poisoning** (in adults and children) related to delta-8 have been reported. - **Unregulated**: The real concern is that delta-8 products are **unregulated**, meaning there's no guarantee they contain what the label says⁴. 2. **Synthetic Cannabis ("Gas Station Heroin")**: - Some so-called **gas station heroin products** marketed as mood-boosting supplements have been found to contain **synthetic cannabis**. - These products are often labeled as aiding alertness or energy but may pose serious risks⁵. 3. **CBD-Infused Products**: - In states where marijuana is legal, **licensed dispensaries** sell edibles. - Gas stations and convenience stores in some states may sell **CBD-infused products**. - CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis and is legal in most states⁶. 4. **Future Trends**: - Circle K, a global convenience-store chain, has signed a deal to sell **licensed marijuana** at its Florida gasoline retailers starting next year⁷. Remember that the quality and safety of these products can vary significantly. Always exercise caution, read labels, and consider seeking professional advice before consuming any cannabis-related products. 🌿🛒🔍⁴⁵⁶⁷ Source: Conversation with Copilot, 5/26/2024 (1) Delta-8 THC: Experts Warn That Not All Cannabis ... - Healthline. https://lnkd.in/gs4eB9NF.
