"Our results suggest that adults who use cannabis, generally with light to moderate use patterns, for symptoms of pain, anxiety, depression, or poor sleep, experience few significant long-term neural associations in these areas of cognition," says the study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and published this week in the journal JAMA Network Open.

I recently made a post about OTC drugs, and some people thought I was mad to get high off dissociatives that cause delirium. A user named @JanoyCresva recommended I do Delta-8 instead. Admittedly, though I was familiar with the term, I didn't know much about the drug. My curiousity piqued I decided to do some research on the drug and also see if I can get my hands on it.
Delta-8, Delta-9, What Does it All Mean?
Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC are psychoactive cannabinoids found in the cannabis plants. Concentrated amounts of delta-8 THC are typically manufactured from hemp-derived cannabidiol, which allows it to skirt marijuana laws in some US jurisdictions. It is said that Delta-8 is milder than Delta-9 which has a more classical THC effect.
There is some concern regarding the health hazards of these isomers. They aren't FDA-controlled, and the FDA gives the following warning:
Some manufacturers may use potentially unsafe household chemicals to make delta-8 THC through this chemical synthesis process. Additional chemicals may be used to change the color of the final product. The final delta-8 THC product may have potentially harmful by-products (contaminants) due to the chemicals used in the process, and there is uncertainty with respect to other potential contaminants that may be present or produced depending on the composition of the starting raw material. If consumed or inhaled, these chemicals, including some used to make (synthesize) delta-8 THC and the by-products created during synthesis, can be harmful.
Making my purchase
As I've mentioned, there's a weed cafe next door to my apartment. I live in South Africa so it's legal. I got dressed up and walked to the cafe. I asked the budtender if they had any Delta-8 vapes, but they didn't. They only had nicotine vapes. I wasn't out of luck, however, because there's another weed store not too far away. So I take a walk there. It's a small shop, and I walk in to find an Indian lady busy grinding weed behind the counter.
I greet her and ask if she has any Delta-8 vapes. She points me to the vapes and discovers that there are only disposable 1gram Delta-9 vapes available. The vapes are on special so they're cheaper than usual. I decided to go for it and chose the Summer Lemon sativa strain. When I tried to pay I used the wrong card by mistake so they had to cancel it and ring me up again.

My experience with Delta-9
I took my first hit and it because apparent that I wasn't dealing with normal herb. There's something about bud that makes it particularly psychedelic. It gives you novel bodily sensations, tickles the mind, and activates hunger and humor. It's "busy" while Delta-9 is "clean", if that makes sense. It gives a clear high with no surprises. I had a feeling uplifted and stress-free. I didn't find things to be any funnier, but I was a lot less worried. There's not much of a body load to speak of, though it did give me the typical stoner eyes.
What I like about it is that it's predictable and you can be sure of what's going to happen. That isn't the case with bud where the trip can be joyful or leave you paranoid. You get the munchies, you get the drowsiness, but you don't get the scrambled thinking or memory loss of bud. It's a smooth, pure high.
Conclusion
I would reccommend Delta-9 to anyone curious about cannabis but want to indulge in a controlled manner. It's a good entryway into being a cannabis enjoyer, and it has minimal downsides. The only one I can think of is that it raises your tolerance steeply, but that comes with the territory when you're dealing with vapes.

When I was in highschool, a wacky teacher said "When I grew up, my friends and I used to drink Coca-Cola and eat nutmegs, so we went a bit funny in the head".
Of course, I thought this sounded exciting, so I asked a little more about it. I wanted to coax the magic formula out of the old man. When I asked, however, he looked most confused... "What do you mean boy? Are you completely out of your mind? One thing has nothing to do with the other. Coca-Cola is drunk at the movies, nutmeg replaces vodka!"
I was studying hotel and restaurant management, so I snatched a few dozen whole nutmegs on my way home. When I went to test it, I found that nutmegs are very hard to chew, so I pulled out the cheese grater. Now it turned out that when nutmeg is eaten as anything other than a carefully handled spice, it tastes like forty miles of bad road. I bravely pulled out my cigarette papers and some tobacco, then confidently modeled an incredibly balanced prototype of something I imagined would revolutionize my party economy.
Excited, I now lit my exotic cigarette. After a few puffs, I noticed that the fat of the nut was collecting in my bangs and forehead, and then, most annoyingly, dripping into my eyes. I threw it away.
After a while of experimenting with yogurt, beer and jam, I found the magic mixture! Lots of cinnamon effectively covers the flavor of 14-20 grated nutmegs mixed into a plate of skim milk. I ate the mixture and sat down to wait. Nothing happened. I went out with the dog to pass the time, but nothing was noticed. I got pissed off at the scam and angrily turned on the coffee maker.
When the coffee was ready, I sat down calmly in front of Jeopardy with a cup of coffee. On the second game board, I realized I didn't understand anything at all. I had become acutely stupid! Well, at least it worked, I thought. I tried to feel around, but the nutmeg did not improve my quality of life at all. After some experiments with jogging and Playstation, I gave up. The only result of the nuts was that I was tired, stupid, and had a bit of a wobbly motor function. Disappointed, I brushed my teeth and went to bed.
The next day I half woke up to find that I felt extremely weak, had aches and pains all over my body and last but not least I had gone blind. Shocked, I tried to get up, but my legs gave way and I collapsed into my expensive record collection, injuring myself quite badly in the fall. With shards of my broken music albums stuck here and there in my naked body, I lay in a very embarrassing - and painful - pose, contemplating my precarious situation.
After a few minutes I realized that my eyelids were closed and impossible to open in the usual way. With great patience, I found my hands and began to gently pry my eyes open. The suffering increased considerably with this maneuver, but I still felt relieved when I got my sight back. My eyelids had simply dried up due to extreme dehydration.
I carefully made my way to the bathroom and gulped down as much water as I could. After bathing my badly bruised head with a damp sanitary towel for a while, reality began to set in. I discovered that much of the pain in my body was caused by my overly bursting bladder, but I couldn't take a piss either. After a very gentle abdominal massage, my bright yellow urine began to trickle in its total absence of transparency. My urethra felt like it was going to burst, but the pain from the bladder disappeared.
After drinking some more water, I tried to brush my teeth, but the toothbrush proved to be too feeble a tool for that task. I had to do the dirty work with my fingernails - I have never seen such a horribly disgusting coating!
With the help of the walls, I limped into the kitchen, where my mother was. I looked at the clock and realized that school had started two hours ago. I exclaimed, "Darn, I overslept. Maybe if I take a couple of tylenol, you can give me a ride?"
My mother now delivered the following facts; "School started 26 hours ago, so to speak. You slept all day yesterday, so I told them you were sick when your friends came by."
After realizing that neither painkillers nor food would help in any way against the terrible hangover of nutmeg, I lay down in my sweaty bed and sucked on blueberry soup until I fell asleep again. After a few days I was fully recovered and went back to school. Of course, I tipped off the poppy students in the class about the wonderful effects of nutmeg, as if as punishment for their poppiness.
So what do we learn from this, boys and girls? Well, nutmeg may be a cheap drug, but it is definitely not worth the price.
If you still want to try it, I recommend that you stock up on skimmed milk, cinnamon, a grater, a well-stocked IV, and take a couple of days off. Good luck.

One of the coolest last words to ever be uttered. We must always remember this druggie Chad.
The video chat session began when Vedas logged into the IRC channel and announced "i got a grip of drugs", inviting other users to access his webcam feed and watch him take them. While some of the substances were illicit, most of them had apparently been obtained through legitimate prescriptions for treatment of various illnesses from which Vedas was said to have suffered.
Vedas then began consuming psilocybe mushrooms, which had been stored in a prescription medication bottle. As the chat session progressed, one of the users in the channel, grphish, noted "that's a lot of klonopin" and this is thought to be when Vedas consumed 8 mg of clonazepam.[citation needed] Vedas continued by showing the webcam viewers what would be one of four bottles of methadone that he would consume over the course of the session, and, after noting this on the channel, proceeded to consume an entire bottle (reportedly 80 mg of methadone). After a brief respite, Vedas then consumed 110 mg of propranolol (Inderal), two Vicodin tablets, and 120 mg temazepam, which seem to have been taken in between descriptions given on the IRC channel.[citation needed]
During this process, Vedas maintained that this was "usual weekend behavior" for him and that he had consumed similar quantities of the same substances on previous occasions. "I told u I was hardcore" was one of the last things Vedas typed, and he was found dead by his mother the next day.

In the beginning there was the heavens and the Earth... - the Bible with Jesus as the main character
So I finally got a little bit more weed and for the longest time I was buying just a certain one cuz it was indica rather than a hybrid or a sativa, so I had bought this one kind I don't really care for the names but the specific name
of it was sandy beaches and I decided to keep buying that one cuz it just tasted fantastic to me I don't know why but it did and it was a hybrid but I didn't really care for that I was just the taste of it like that there's this really different.
So I got these kinds and I don't think it's really the kind I think it's rather the papers cuz I bought these papers before and I just bought them again but they taste exactly like the sandy beaches.
I don't know if that's just a coincidence or if it's just really legit the papers
