    Weed is a very common thing that helps folks with anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other health issues. It isn’t a “get them into rehab” thing. It’s not an addiction it is a prescription. Before you post something that doesn’t add on to the OP make sure it isn’t an ignorant comment.

    Drugs use is ignorance. I don’t care how folks justify drug use these days.PTSD… so taking a mind altering drug helps with dealing with stress… got it…. Sounds something from the VA. No thanks don’t need drugs as a crutch for life. Just cause liberal state governments love a drugged voting base doesn’t justify using drugs. Man, weren’t y’all in the D.A.R.E. Program!? Go to their website, drug use is a cause for suicide and mental issues, drugs don’t fix problems, just cover them up temporarily.

    In my post #13, I linked to an article about case law coming out of the 9th Circuit. I have been looking to see if there is a nationwide injunction in place and so far can't find any mention. So as far as I can tell Delta-8 is legal per case law in ONLY the 9th Circuit.

    The primary thing as far as general legality goes, it is basically these days a state issue because generally the Feds are no longer attempting to enforce 21 CFR 1308.11 as it relates to THC products. THIS DOES NOT mean it is OK for people covered by the DOT testing to consume THC.

    I know, I have been advised to stay away from anything that can trigger a positive. Heck, I have been advised to be careful about taking something as simple as Benadryl because it can cause a false positive for TCA. Generally speaking, the VA doesn't like TCAs.

    Ah so you are one of the weird guys that say science and physical proof/evidence is wrong. Tell little Timmy that has cancer and weed is helping deal with it that he’s a junky. Let’s not play politics. You just have an ignorant outdated ideology(sorry I know you probably don’t know that word) about mental health. Grow up and leave the post if all you have to say is outdated garbage.

    Also PTSD isn’t just stress my man. Search up and learn about mental health so you don’t disrespect someone in the future. Keep an open mind and most of all be respectful :)

    Having technical difficulties, meant to paste this from the article.

    “Since delta-8 THC is sourced from hemp, and not marijuana, it is legal and unregulated at the federal level. The 2018 farm bill legalized hemp, cracking open an industry with offshoots in textile manufacturing, medicine and (albeit accidentally) intoxicants.”

    Three wars and doing Bomb disposal on IED’s. I know nothing of stress… alcohol and drugs are not the answer. Justifying drug use as our country is in a drug epidemic makes zero sense. But as you said I’m ignorant.. if I can work on nuclear weapons, I guess I am..However, I am not the one asking about having drugs on a commercial vehicle that may or may not cross state lines.

    Something for CBD users to consider is that there is no oversight on the manufacturers on the amount of THC in their products. Federal law limits the THC to no more than 0.3%. The FMCSA has issued several warning about this after drivers using CBD have tested positive for Marijuana.
