As much as 80% of hemp THC products tested are actually just illegal marijuana.
So why does Congress want to give the industry another month to keep selling them?
These products are already illegal. It’s time to get them off store shelves.

Nitrous oxide misuse is growing among teens and young adults. Nitrous oxide cannisters are sold in smoke shops with labels that are attractive to young people. Be aware!
"Chronic use disrupts vitamin B12 metabolism by oxidizing methylcobalamin, impairing myelin production, and leading to subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. Neuroimaging studies reveal deactivation of the hippocampus and visual cortices, aligning with observed memory and sensory processing deficits. Psychiatric complications such as depression, delusions, and agitation are frequently reported in adolescent users"
