My understanding is all weed produces THC-A that has to be transformed through heat, ie smoking or decarbing. The farm bill weed has delta 8 and delta 10 THC in it but not delta 9 which is the THC we are more familiar with. I've played around a little with it and it isnt quite the same. Delta 8 and 10 together will more closely resemble a delta 9 buzz but each on their own are more like THC's lame little cousin. If you partake for medical benefit I think you still probably get a suffient amount.
If you're in California and you need affordable weed you can trust is organic, tastes good and gets you high, ask your bud tender for some Eighth Brother. They sell it from the farm cheap enough for stores to sell ounces for $60 (shop around!) and still make enough money to stay within profit margin of other shelf products.
I swear as much plugs I give them they need to kick me down a tee shirt or a hat or some other tchotchkes.
