In my opinion the most significant investment opportunity RIGHT NOW ✅️ is the “unenforced” transfer across state lines of Delta-8 THC products derived from hemp. Online platforms have been KILLING it selling to all 50 states since the D8 explosion two years ago.
There are points in time, windows 🪟 of opportunity that open and close quickly in the cannabis and hemp space. Those who are in the know and have the means capitalize on these windows.
Delta-8 THC products are a lightning rod for controversy as many are fighting to eliminate it from the market or regulate it more tightly. I believe that for the time being, as it is legal and sold ethically, it is a legitimate business opportunity, and a great opportunity for the public to gain familiarity with the effects.
I personally dont favor marijuana edibles, I’m more of a smoker due to the narcotic-like effects edibles tend have on me. They make me drowsy and I just fall asleep.
Delta-8 has an uplifting effect on me, it erases my mind completely, leaving me feeling happy and goofy 🤪 confident and unable to overthink things and react more. I really like it.

When you really drill down you can see how variable and nuanced the regulations and laws around cannabis are, how they conflict and sometimes overlap.
This is a complex industry and I hope this post helps you navigate the landscape a bit easier.
