“ Cannabis laws are likely to remain a moving target , with wildly ranging restrictions and allowances from region to region .”
A Final Word on Weed Diamonds
Weed diamonds are still federally illegal to consume in the USA . Because THC is the active component , diamonds are still classified as a Schedule I drug . Many states do allow their use , but like the everchanging landscape of cannabis legislation , any potential consumer of diamonds should know what the risks are to consuming them in their respective state .
There are several active court cases in various U . S . states that are evaluating the status of cannabis extracts such as diamonds , and some states have outright specifically banned weed diamonds . Cannabis laws are likely to remain a moving target , with wildly ranging restrictions and allowances from region to region . With the relative newness of weed diamonds , they are likely to fly under the radar for a while , but it is still best to know what the laws are where you live to make an informed decision about whether to use weed diamonds . Some industry experts predict diamonds will remain illegal due to their high potency , even while other cannabis extracts are still allowed on the market . This is , of course , just speculation though ; only time will tell .
Make sure you are only buying your weed diamonds from a licensed cannabis dealer . Because diamonds are more difficult to make and more complex than other extracts , there is more potential for something to go wrong in the process . Be wary of buying black market cannabis diamonds . In a similar vein , unless you are experienced in the manufacture of extracts and have a firm understanding of chemistry and the ramifications of mixing incompatible substances , leave the diamond making to the professionals .
