#182: “Gas Station Weed”, Delta-8, THCA-Your Teen Can Get High Legally
What the heck is going on down at the convenience store or corner vape shop? They're selling something that looks a whole lot like marijuana, cannabis, or weed. And this stuff (otherwise known as "gas station weed") can get people even higher than the marijuana sold at the legal dispensaries that contain the high-producing, delta-9 THC.Even worse, this stuff is being sold legally to teens in many states! What is it? It's delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, HHC, THCA, THCO and other chemically extracted hemp derivatives, which are mostly unregulated (and contain no telling what).I'll explain what these substances are, where they come from, how they're legal and what you should do if you find your teen is smoking it or "real marijuana".Show Notes for other resources and sourcesTranscriptOther episodes that will help you deal with your teen and substancesEpisode 16 Collaboration and CooperationEpisode 22 Discipline and ConsequencesEpisode 39 LyingEpisode 42 and 43 Drug-proofing Your TeensEpisode 60 Substance Use and AbuseEpisode 122 When Your Kid is using drugsFind our FREE Parenting Guides Here"I just wanted to let you know that I'm so thankful for your podcast! ...I'm so happy I discovered it!"
