Serball was charged with marijuana possession, and is said to have admitted to making the products.

But in recent months, a new cannabinoid known as delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC) has entered the…
Cannabis contains many cannabinoids that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which we still have much to learn about. The most well-known cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), but there are many others that are equally beneficial.
