    You’d think it would be the active ingredient that is regulated, not the actual plant.

      It is! THC is the regulated chemical. delta-9 is a different molecule which was made federally legal as a result of allowing hemp farming

        If delta-9 is a different molecule but still an active ingredient, then not all the active ingredients are regulated. And these “thc” drinks are lying.

          Yes. That’s just a different way to say what I said

          Eta: sorry lol, I misread your comment. You’re not wrong to think that, that whole industry can be kind of shady - why it needs careful regulation alongside legalization
