Delta 8 injuries vary widely and can range from mild symptoms to severe health conditions requiring hospitalization.

Common injuries include severe nausea, respiratory issues, impaired motor function, hallucinations, and in some cases, life-threatening symptoms.

Individuals with pre-existing health conditions may face increased risks, especially as some Delta 8 products are sold without proper testing or regulatory oversight.

Our experienced team can help you identify and pursue compensation for the specific injuries you’ve suffered due to Delta 8.

Warning Signs of Delta 8 Injuries

Recognizing the warning signs of Delta 8 injuries early on is critical. Some symptoms may appear soon after use, while others can develop over time. Watch for dizziness, confusion, intense anxiety, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or unusual fatigue.

These can indicate potential toxicity or adverse effects associated with Delta 8. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately and consider consulting with our injury lawyers to understand your legal options.

Employer Drug Testing and Delta 8 THC

One misconception is that Delta 8 THC products are exempt from standard drug tests. However, many tests are unable to distinguish between Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC, which means using Delta 8 could lead to a positive drug test. This can impact employment opportunities and may even lead to job termination.

If you’ve suffered employment consequences due to Delta 8 or have been terminated from your job from consuming a hemp product that was marketed as “THC free”, our team can help you assess your legal options.

What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC is a compound derived from the hemp plant, similar to Delta 9 THC but with slightly different psychoactive properties. It has been marketed as a “legal” THC alternative due to a loophole in federal regulations. Although it is sold in a variety of forms, including gummies, vapes, and tinctures, the unregulated nature of Delta 8 means that it carries risks often unknown to consumers.

How is Delta 8 THC Made?

Unlike naturally occurring compounds, Delta 8 is often synthesized through a chemical process that converts CBD into Delta 8 THC. This process can leave harmful chemical residues if not done properly, increasing the likelihood of adverse effects. Understanding how Delta 8 is made can underscore the potential dangers associated with consuming unregulated products. We stand ready to assist those affected by unsafe manufacturing practices.

Is Delta 8 THC Safe?

While Delta 8 is often marketed as a safe and legal alternative to traditional THC, the lack of regulation means there are no guarantees of product quality or safety. Unverified products often contain unknown compounds or contaminants, making them potentially unsafe. Some users experience mild symptoms, while others suffer severe or life-altering injuries. Our legal team specializes in handling cases involving unsafe Delta 8 products and can help you seek compensation for your injuries.

Some people assume that because of its popularity, delta 8 THC must be safe. This is simply untrue. The FDA has repeatedly published warnings about the safety of delta 8 products.

Where is Delta 8 Sold in St. Louis?

Delta 8 THC products are widely available in St. Louis, from vape shops to convenience stores and online retailers. Many of these products, however, are sold without adequate consumer warnings or safety testing. If you or a loved one purchased Delta 8 in St. Louis and suffered harm, reach out to our team to learn more about your rights and potential legal remedies.

Missouri Laws and Delta 8

Missouri’s stance on Delta 8 THC remains complex. Although it is technically legal under certain conditions, the lack of state-level regulation has created a gray area for consumers and manufacturers. However, the Missouri attorney general recently issued a press release about delta 8 THC and the governor of Missouri, Mike Parson, recently attempted to ban it with an executive order.

Federal Delta 8 Laws

Federal laws on Delta 8 are evolving, creating confusion and inconsistency across states. Although the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived compounds, including Delta 8, the FDA has raised safety concerns. Several states have enacted their own restrictions, while others remain permissive. For those affected by Delta 8 injuries, understanding federal versus state protections can be pivotal.
