Dear Pavement: Hemp’s federal legalization opened a number of loopholes, and buying weed gummies online is one of the more noticeable quagmires. Most of these gummies are made with Delta-8 THC, a form of modified CBD, as an attempt to skirt the Controlled Substances Act, which only mentions Delta-9 THC. But Delta-8 isn’t quite as intoxicating as Delta-9, so some hemp product makers have gotten even bolder with their CBD conversions.

We doubt the DEA agrees, but it’s done little to combat the practice so far. The loophole has started a brewing battle between the hemp and marijuana industries, which is playing out in Colorado right now.
