In Colorado, marijuana and hemp are treated differently. Hemp and marijuana come from the same type of plant, but hemp has very, very low levels of THC. In Colorado, it is illegal to make or sell THC products that have been manufactured from hemp.
Health Effects
Not enough is known about the health effects of using THC products made out of hemp. These include things like delta 8 vape cartridges, and delta 8 candy. While marijuana products are regulated by Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division, these THC products made of hemp are not regulated, and they could have chemicals that may harm your health.
