It's simply not as effective psychoactively due to its chemical structure. This is why it can be sold legally, due to the chemical structure differing from Delta-9 THC. As a long time cannabis user, delta 8 does absolutely nothing for me.

Delta 9 is available via the farm bill as well.. just like I mentioned
With no more than .3% of THC. Delta-9 females produce hemp, so yes, you can buy hemp and CBD from a plant that produces the Delta-9 compound, but no, it will not have a significant amount of THC to be classified as cannabis on the scheduled drug list.
In short, according to the FDA, those products you see in those stores are not classified as marijuana.
That 0.3% is by weight and gummies can be dense af. Plenty of farm bill products advertise ∆9 on the packaging.
If they are legal, they are required to be FDA approved and not classified as marijuana. I am also in the Bible belt for reference and anything store bought has never done anything for me, gummies or otherwise.
If products like these don't get you anything, you may need to consult a doctor.
You can see that it says cannabinoid on the packaging, maybe if you have super low tolerance or are not and experienced smoker you might get a slight buzz, nothing compared to the real thing. I provided my research and have spoken from personal experience. Sorry but that's not marijuana according to the FDA, and no, they do not do anything for me.
Show me an example of one of the products you use. I think you are confusing full spectrum CBD products with Delta 9 products
Trust me they have the delta 9 symbol with the thcp and everything, you may as well reference your own pictures. Seeing as I don't buy them and stick to the actual thing I don't have any of the products readily available to me.
Delta-9 gummies are the real-deal. I can't tell the difference between THCA flower and regular flower (I'm pretty sure it's just uncured bud). They also make THCA concentrates.
There's studies of THCA not causing the psychoactive effects of marijuana.
Decarboxylation happens when heat is applied (smoking or vaping, for example), turning THCA into delta-9 THC.
That's fair, although that process happening as you smoke it once again doesn't compare for me. I'm not here to argue at all, just stating what I know about this stuff. I'll catch my buzz from my own, if you catch a buzz from THCA then go crazy. I just don't.
