Delta 9 is the active chemical that gets you high. Most vapes are a straight extract unless otherwise specified. It is identical to a product on dispensary shelves.

If you want the whole kit and kaboodle, you can go significantly BEYOND the real stuff by mixing 8, 9, 10, d8thco, d9thco, CBD, and readd a terpene mix, that would be closer to your opiate/opium comparison.

Something like more than 95% of the DNA of any given modern chihuahua is post-columbian. There was an ancient breed called a chihuahua, and then there was another breed later made to look kind of like them.

Sucrose (table sugar) is half fructose anyway. The only reason that high fructose corn syrup is cheaper than sugar in the United States is that, in order to protect American farmers, the government puts a limit on the amount of sugar that can be imported from foreign countries.

THC and CBD are suspected to have an inverse relationship. The higher the THC (and thus the user) the lower the CBD.

That is why the new apple store looking vape shops sell 1:1 cartridges. Those are equal parts of each which is largely unheard of in the flowers.

>Then why does it make me More anxious ?? That's what I wanna know

I believe this is referring to Cannabidiol, specifically "CBD" which is not abundantly found in the type of cannabis that gets you high (THC). CBD is a cannabinoid more often found in hemp type plants or a hybrid of hemp and cannabis plant. CBD can alleviate some of the negative anxious effects from THC, but if you want anti-anxiety you would need weed that is high in CBD but very low THC.
