Missouri is banning the sale of drinks, candy and other foods made with hemp-derived intoxicating substances, Republican Gov. Mike Parson announced in an an executive order issued Thursday.
The ban kicks in Sept. 1.
Parson cited health concerns and lack of research on Delta-8 THC and similar unregulated CBD substances.
He also made clear that his order does not prohibit consumption of psychoactive hemp products. The rules “are not here to punish consumers,” Parson said.
popcorn lung Diacetyl can be an ingredient in vapes. Hope you are being mindful of that. Natural doesn’t mean better for you. But few things are good to use daily.
Diacetyl hasn’t been used in any reputable vape juice brand in like a decade(and is banned in EU), and there’s also absolutely no evidence that the juices that did contained enough to cause popcorn lung. There’s a reason it’s called popcorn lung, because the most likely person to get it is one who works in a popcorn factory and is exposed to industrial quantities of Diacetyl, day after day for likely 10-12 hour shifts. The difference in dosage is astronomical. If you’ve ever worked in a kitchen, you’ll know how grease vapors in the air will absolutely coat you in a film of yuck. Imagine that same idea but instead of grease it’s Diacetyl coating everyone and everything in the factory.
I don’t vape, so I have no clue about the safety that is claimed from atomizing substances. Thank you for informing me about how diacetyl has been pulled from most vapes, shows you how old my information is.
