Michelle Peace will sometimes dip into a convenience store and emerge with a handful of hemp products like delta-8. They come in gummies, tinctures, vape cartridges and joints and they're designed to get you high.
Despite knowing glances from cashiers, Peace isn't headed to a party. She's the director of the laboratory for forensic toxicology research at Virginia Commonwealth University, and she's bringing her collection to the lab to see what's inside. In some cases, no one else is checking.
Hemp products that can get you high have proliferated online and at corner stores, even in places where marijuana remains illegal. The products, marketed under names like delta-8 and delta-10, have been a lifeline for the struggling hemp industry. Even critics of the products acknowledge some companies maintain high standards for their products, with credible lab testing and careful quality control.

Warning to all who use CBD products: Even though the label may say "no THC", I have a very close family member that lost out on a prime job due to CBD use, when they popped positive on a mandatory whiz quiz, and this person I know for a fact has never smoked weed nor used MJ in any form in their life.
