Missouri DHSS issues health advisory on Delta-8 products
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services issued a health advisory this month over the consumption of Delta-8, Delta-10 and THC-P products, according to a Tuesday press release.
The release says there are potential risks with consuming “hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids.” The release says the advisory was issued because of “to a recent increase in availability of products containing hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids” and concerns about youths consuming it.
This comes as Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey accused multiple businesses around the state of using deceptive business practices to sell Delta-8 products.
“These intoxicating compounds are currently untested in humans, unregulated and sold to the public without restriction. Until safety data is available for human consumption, Missourians are advised to avoid these products,” Tuesday’s release says.
The release recommends checking product labels if the product is not sold in a regulated dispensary, which includes: Delta-8 THC, Delta-6 THC, Delta-10 THC, Delta-11 THC, THC-A, THC-O, THC-P, THC-V, THC-JD, PHC, HHC, HHC-P and HXC.
