By Katryna Perera (October 13, 2021, 4:55 PM EDT) — The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, also known as NORML, urged consumers on Wednesday to only obtain Delta-8 THC products from state-regulated cannabis manufacturers, warning that the long-term safety and effects of the controversial substance are still widely unknown. The report, authored by California NORML Coordinator Dr. Dale Gieringer, explains that while Delta-8 only occurs at “miniscule” levels in natural cannabis, high levels of the compound can be produced artificially through a chemical process known as isomerization, which converts CBD or Delta-9 THC into Delta-8. Delta-8 is…

The Day – East Lyme mulls marijuana moratorium – News from southeastern Connecticut – theday.com
East Lyme — The Board of Selectmen is poised to consider a temporary ban on marijuana establishments and smoking weed in public spaces, even as a proposed amendment to allow dispensaries in town winds its way through the bureaucratic process.

The mood was somber at this year’s Hall of Flowers, the annual early fall trade show in Santa Rosa, California that’s become a de-facto preview of the yearly sungrown cannabis harvest. For years prior to legalization and the opening of California’s adult-use cannabis market in January 2018, even if indoor-grown buds glistening with trichomes commanded higher prices, outdoor farmers still enjoyed reliably healthy appetites for their lower-THC, distinctly aromatic cuts. A pound of trimmed outdoor could fetch thousands of dollars; trimmers could expect $100 and $150 for every pound they prepared for market. Not anymore. Since the opening of legal…
