When you see or smell something that might be weed, there’s a good chance it’s not. There are cbd products that contain delta 8 or 9 which come in edibles or vape/smoke products and these are legal at the federal level via the 2018 farm bill (if that year is wrong, it’s one close to it). Unless you see the label, you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking if it’s weed or a cbd product. They come in joints and buds that look exactly the same. It’s weaker than typical weed as well but gives a similar buzz if dosed at higher levels.
Just want to add that I think schedule 1 is ridiculous no matter the substance. That classification bars it from research which is ignorant and draconian. When debates flare up in legislatures there’s always someone opposed to legalization that brings up that there’s no research as to what these substances do to people. Well, thanks to them advocating schedule 1 classification you’ll never see domestic research funded or performed. It’s a ridiculous and absurd position but unironically advocated by people in a position to know better. What a shame.
