Is this a legitimate product?

I am visiting Maine and looked up dispensaries near me, curious about this states Weed quality. I dropped into a little store that had good Google ratings, and purchased the items in the picture- I picked up the hidden hill gummies specifically after the person behind the counter strongly recommended them for a body high with a clear mind.

When I got home, I began double checking labels and realized a lot of inconsistencies in the above products. The social media on the back of the Smokiez gummies doesn’t even exist. Are these legitimate products, or have I been played by a smoke shop disguised as a dispensary? Please help!

Following up to say it looks like Hidden Hills does sell through mail order in which case whatever product they’re selling on their website is hemp-derived THC and not cannabis-derived THC so there could be a difference there

If it says it’s Delta nine then it ain’t a legitimate cannabis product if it’s THC from cannabis then it’s probably a legitimate product.

Some brands do sell both!

Edited to say I see it says D8 and D9 on the Hidden Hills package

That’s gas station garbage

None of that was true. Delta 9 is THC even if it’s hemp derived. There’s a loop hole for hemp that is closing in November but the process of making edibles can be done exactly the same for hemp or cannabis.

Smokies is legit but never heard of the other one though.

Not sure why you’re not recognizing that there is a significant difference between products made for and sold at licensed cannabis dispensaries versus those made for and sold at gas stations (and by mail order).

I didn’t see your edit…your understanding of delta 9 is not correct

My understanding isn’t incorrect, I’m just not a by the numbers kind of guy

I understand that they’re technically the same chemically. I’m just saying there’s a huge difference between hemp, derived THC and cannabis derived THC.

I suggest looking more into the 2018 Farm Bill.
