Kevin McKernan: "What everyone's doing is they're putting all these kitchen cannabinoids that they make in their basement that we've never tested before. We don't know how they work and we don't know whether they cause psychosis, and all these things that have been studied by the phytocannabinoid. Those guys are banked, they can ship across state lines, they sell them the gas stations without age checks to kids.
"So if you're go into gas stations you see hemp products, don't assume it's CBD. it's probably like delta-8 or THCP. [...] Delta-8 is supposed to be less potent than delta-9, but the thing is often times when they go and test those things that are labeled delta-8 they find there's like THCP in there, which is like 30 times more potent than THC. And all these other like random peaks on our HPLC, we don't know what they are. It's really like little Jesse Pinkman's garage, where they're just selling all types of crap into that marketplace. And now that market is actually bigger than the cannabis market. It's like $25 billion a year is now getting funneled through this hemp market across state lines.
[...]
"They grow hemp, which has below 0.3% THC in it, but then they spray it with something else. They put HHC on it or THCP. The other thing they can do is take CBD from the plant, treat it with an acid, and that will turn it into delta-8. That's another common trick they do. The only challenge there is when they treat it with an acid all these other chemical reactions happen on the compounds that are in the plant that show up on the HPLC. We don't know what those are. There's a couple that have circulated like THC acetate is one that's really nasty that's out there. That one in vape pens forms ketenes, which is a carcinogen."
