Reply to comment by Kidgen in After further testing, Fentanyl was NOT found in the THC gummies that were taken by police last week. by DelianSK13

Fentanyl is cheap, and it's been pretty well documented that it sometimes turns up in other drugs like cocaine and meth. Either intentionally to create a "speedball" type product, or unintentionally because of cross-contamination in the packaging.

That said I certainly agree that the concerns over marijuana are overblown, and there's especially no reason to think that a gray-market item like Delta-8 THC edibles would be either intentionally or unintentionally laced with fentanyl.

I def wouldn't buy from a random place, I bought a delta 8 cart online but got some recommendations first where to get it from. They sent lab test results from the batch inside the packaging. I think it's smart, just covering their own ass and avoiding legal issues.

I mean the facts are that the "legal edibles" in PA are pretty much unregulated and anyone could put anything in that shit. why take a risk with that? all it takes is one asshole on the production/packaging side to put something funky in there and really have you fucked up. maybe not fentanyl but do you really trust these shady gummymakers to not cut costs and put something in there that's not good for you?

true but at least with supplements they are usually produced by actual companies with a documented presence in society. good luck tracking down any of the "legal edible" companies, if they are even registered as such.

That's an incredibly vague standard not supported by the facts. The larger point is that delta 8 is exactly as regulated as similar products but gets outsized attention because drugs bad.
