Missouri is banning the sale of drinks, candy and other foods made with hemp-derived intoxicating substances, Republican Gov. Mike Parson announced in an an executive order issued Thursday.
The ban kicks in Sept. 1.
Parson cited health concerns and lack of research on Delta-8 THC and similar unregulated CBD substances.
He also made clear that his order does not prohibit consumption of psychoactive hemp products. The rules “are not here to punish consumers,” Parson said.
Weed has Delta 8 THC in it
i think it’s delta-9-thc that is the product of decarboxylation
Normal weed has both in it. It just has Delta 9 in far greater quantities.
Nah. Decarboxylation is about transforming THCA to THC. THCA isn’t really psychoactive, but THC is. You convert it with heat, which if you’re smoking is fairly easily achieved. For preparation for edibles you may need to decarboxylate as a separate step, except with baked goods IIRC.
