One of the things that no one really brought up on the other thread is - Guess what? Dope is legal, even in Alabama. The THC levels in Delta 8 and Delta 9 are awfully close to what we were smoking 40 years ago. They aren't remotely close to what you can buy in Colorado, CA, etc, but you want to get stoned, not having smoked in 30 years, go eat a gummy. If that doesn't toast your head, eat 2. Obviously, given Cactus Jack's post, YMMV, but then, THC always affected people differently. I smoked a pile of dope 40 years ago, and eating gummies feels just about like eating a brownie did back then. If you are trying to sleep or get sore muscles to relax, halve the dose. I you are trying to get stoned, you can do it with this stuff.
2 notes - First, THC is THC. If your employer tests, or you are looking for a new job, and you have to fill up a cup, you are going to be positive for THC. You can swear till you are blue in the face you bought it at the local dispensary, but it won't help.
Second, a good friend of my brother lost a child about 3 months ago to an OD. They traced his phone calls, and he'd bought 2 Percocets from the local drug thug the night beforec, and when they raided him, all his "percocets" were fentanyl. The local police chief talked to his buddies, with my brother present, and said basically, that whatever you are buying, it's Fentanyl. It is cheaper to fill capsules, or press pills, with corn starch with a tiny amount of fentanyl than it is to make the counterfeit real stuff. Convenience store dope? Industrial hemp soaked in a Fentanyl solution. This is why so many youngsters who might occasionally smoke a joint, or take a pill to keep partying, are going to wake up dead, and it's about to get a lot worse. No matter what you buy, if it's off label, it's made in factories in Mexico or China, and fentanyl is the cheapest way to make it.

Long and the short is, don't buy drugs from your friendly neighborhood Iranian C-store. At least go to head shop next to Regions in Homewood.
