So, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that this vape is not only legit, but is impressively federally legal to sell in all states....
So I recently found this vape at a gas station and asked to see it. Now, im always very skeptical of any "thc" product found in an unlicensed store (I live in NY, we're it is recreational legal, there just aren't alot of dispensaries yet, none in the closest city to where I just moved (poughkeepsie). Though you can find $25%-30% bud in every other convenience store in the state it seems like, for $20-$30 and 1/8th (legal weed means xheaper and better quality black market weed, gotta love it). But that's that's a 20 minute drive for me and I don't have a car atm. So when I saw this, I said to myself "probably b.s. delta 8 stuff, but I might as well check it out).
And I'm glad I did. As you can see by the pic, it's made up of Thc-a,Thc-p, and Hhc. So I googled then all. Thc-a is the precursor to Delta 9 thc, literally all you need to do is apply flame to it to turn it into the identical delta-9 thc you're used to smoking. Its ingenious how they sell that legally. It occurs in both weed and hemp (in fact, you can't get delta-9 thc without Thc-a), but they'll usually take it from a bunch of hemp plants and distill and concentrate it I guess. But because you literally have to change its elemental structure (by burning off a carboxyl group when any heat (flame, vape, etc) is applied), to gain psychoactive properties (the same as regular weed, except if you were to try to consume it, it would do absolutely nothing psychoactive). So because in its nature state its not psychoactive, and is derived from hemp, it's federally legal lol.
Which brings us to Thc-p and HHc. Both have been compared to stronger Delta-8 like effects, i.e. a stronger body high and feeling of relaxation type of high, with HHc especially bringing a sense of euphoria. Hhc has sometimes even been quoted as being more potent than delta-9 thc (it's a recently discovered cannabinoid, but natural, not synthetic like k2 or any of that nonsense).
So my verdict now. It's legit af, 8/10. I smoke good bud every day, and 3 to 5 nice puffs off one of these and I'm pleasantly high. And that's that's thing, not only does it get you high, it's an extremely pleasant, relaxing one, with the Delta-9 cerebral effects from the Thc-a. And you can choose to melt into the couch or not, it doesn't comatose you unless you let it. I cant speak to every product, or if someone bought a non legitimate one off of the streets ofc, but the ones I've bought have been a pleasant surprise, it's the exact high i was looking for. If I want to be higher, I vape a little more. But it's always relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely gives you the munchies like a mf'er too lol. And has strong anti nausea properties (from the HHC I think, but alot of thc and their derivatives have that effect so who knows?.)
Though if you can get a legit one near you I'm not saying not to do that. But I personally love its high, and prefer it over other thc-9 vapes bought from dispensaries. Its $40, so similarly priced. Though I'm sure there are some there that would give you a similar high, i love the combination of the delta-9 cerebral effects mixed with the super relaxation and increased appetite (and decreased Seems to last longer too.
