What Is Delta 9 THC in Simple Language?

Do you want to bust your stress and experience bliss? Did you come home after a tiring day’s work and want to feel “high”? Delta 9 THC has got it all.

It is a natural metabolite extracted from dried marijuana leaves following a unique process. It exhibits psychoactive properties and has the capacity to:

● Create a euphoric effect

● Give you immense pleasure, satisfaction, and bliss

● Improve your sleep-wake cycle

● Help you out in Neurotherapy

● Bust your stress and make you feel calm

● Slow down your thought process and relieve you from the state of anxiety

Hence, Delta 9 THC is nothing less than magic and can be that little thing you waited for your entire life.

But aren’t hemp-based products illegal? Let us delve deeper and know the math behind its usage.


What Are The Consumption Laws Associated With The Delta 9 THC?

As long as the hemp-based products consist of 0.3% of the Delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis, they are federally legal. So, in practicality, this means that all the products presently sold legally in the U.S market consist of Delta 9 THC, which is not more than 0.3% of the weight of that product.

For example, if you are willing to consume Delta 9 THC by way of a gummy whose total weight is 60 grams, then the overall composition of Delta 9 THC in this gummy cannot exceed 180 mg.

As long as the composition of Delta 9 THC in this gummy is 4.5 mg or less than that, it is valid for consumption in the U.S as per the present federal laws.

What Is the Maximum Serving Size of Delta 9 THC in A Product and a Package?

The “0.3% percent rule” was passed when U.S President Mr. Donald Trump signed the Farm Bill on 20th December 2018.

Besides this rule, the law also added certain other conditions that validate the use of Delta 9 THC based products in the U.S. These are:

● The maximum serving size of Delta 9 THC in a single product cannot exceed 10 mg

And

● The maximum serving size of Delta 9 THC in a single package cannot exceed 100 mg

This translates into the fact that:

● The gross weight of a particular Delta 9 THC-based product cannot exceed 3.33 grams if it consists of Delta 9 THC in the maximum permissible limit.

● The gross weight of a particular Delta 9 THC-based package cannot exceed 33.33 grams if it consists of Delta 9 THC in the maximum permissible limit.


Can You Travel On Air With Delta 9 THC?



If you have a sticky power bar, or maybe a vape cartridge, which has equal to or less than 0.3% of Delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis, then you can certainly travel on-air with your recreational products and even consume it while sitting an airplane as long as you are in the US sky.

However, problems can arrive when you have already landed and have deboarded the airplane. It is common at most U.S airports to conduct a body screening to check the presence of drugs in your body.

While the consumption of Delta 9 THC is entirely legal in the country, the problem lies with the screening tests, which usually refuse to differentiate between the:

● Traces of Delta 9 THC

and

● The traces of Marijuana and Hemp

If you are caught and the screening test faltered, explanations, justifications, and even quoting the law might not come in handy for you. Hence, it is best to avoid the consumption of Delta 9 THC products while traveling.


How Does Delta 9 THC Help You In Becoming Medically Fit and Satisfied?

Delta 9 THC is a cannabinoid that has proven to improve a person’s mental and physical health when consumed in prescribed quantities. Being a psychoactive substance, it is famous for its quick onset and the creation of euphoric effects in human beings.

Let us explore some of the best uses of Delta 9 THC with complete medical rationale:


Delta 9 THC Improves the Sleep-Wake Cycle As per a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an adult more than 18 years old needs to sleep at least 7 hours a day. The reason is simple, decreased brain power to store & recall memories and remember the different events.

This primarily happens because of our incapability to eliminate the dangerous amyloid plaques (often known as misfolded proteins) that are often attributed as one of the significant factors behind Alzheimer's disease.

Hence, if you cannot sleep well or have an inconsistent sleep pattern, then it is high time that you resorted to Delta 9 THC. It can not only slow down the speed of your eyeballs (known as rapid eye syndrome) but also normalizes your circadian rhythm.

Hence, it can be said that a good night’s sleep is just a gummy away!
Delta 9 THC Ends Your Phase of Depression

It is common for humans to go into depression and resort to isolation, loss of interest, and immense monotony.

If you are looking for quick and cheap way of seeking pleasure and bliss, Delta 9 THC is here to help you out. By attaching itself to the CB1 receptors present in our Central Nervous System, it gains the ability to stimulate our central nervous system (CNS).

Post this, it signals the release of an extra amount of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for producing the feelings of euphoria and the so-called “high.”

It certainly takes you out of your depression and makes you feel satisfied, confident, and, more importantly, happy.
Delta 9 THC Improves Your Focus and Attention

Concentration is a gift! It makes you think better and enables you to form logical arguments with an extended ability to link the different aspects.

Most humans cannot concentrate due to their inability to control their thought process, or we can say the rapid movement of neurons.

Delta 9 THC, being an anticonvulsant agent, can slow down the process of movement of neurons so much that you can concentrate and focus in a more enhanced fashion.

Conclusion


Yes, after implementing the Farm Bill, 2018, the products containing Delta 9 THC are legal for consumption in the country as long as the concentration of Delta 9 THC does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.


Further, a single product containing Delta 9 THC must not exceed 10 mg, and a single package must not exceed 100 mg of Delta 9 THC.


Being a psychoactive substance, the Delta 9 THC-based products have a quick onset and can give you an immense feeling of pleasure and satisfaction.


So, are you ready to say goodbye to all your stress, states of depression, and poor sleeping patterns?

PH now has 9 active crew change hubs as Zamboanga, Iloilo, and Palawan hubs open to receive seafarers

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




Pursuant to the order given by Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Art Tugade to establish more crew change hubs across the country, three more crew change hubs became operational in the ports of Zamboanga, Iloilo and in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.The new crew change hubs were activated on March 14, March 21 and April 8, 2022, respectively. The DOTr Maritime Sector led the opening of the new crew change hubs, comprised of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), the Office of Transportation Security (OTS), and the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), together with other concerned government agencies.

With the additional crew change hubs, the Philippines now has 9 active crew change hubs joining the Manila South Harbor, Port Capinpin in Orion, Bataan, Sasa Wharf in Davao, and Batangas, under the PPA. The other two crew change hubs are located in Subic and Cebu.

The country introduced the crew change hubs to process the documents needed to facilitate the movement of both on-signers and off-signers amid the global pandemic, recognizing the vital contribution of seafarers to the country’s economy.

The establishment of crew change hubs across the country is part of the measures adopted to keep maritime operations ongoing despite the strict health protocols being enforced amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The crew change hubs are staffed by the following government agencies: the DOTr and its attached agencies: Office for Transportation Security (OTS), Cebu Port Authority (CPA), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), the Department of Health (DOH), Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ), the Bureau of Customs (BOC), Bureau of Immigration (BI), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Overseas Workers Welfare Organization (OWWA), the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), and by the various provincial and local government units.

Transportation Secretary Art Tugade welcomed the activation of the new crew change hubs while stressing that the DOTr Maritime Sector and the other involved government agencies remain firm in their commitment to make crew changes as efficient as possible while upholding the health and safety of seafarers, especially Filipino mariners.

"It takes a whole maritime approach to make crew changes possible in the country. The various government agencies and the stakeholders that are involved remain firm in their strong and active participation to ensure the continuous operation of these crew change hubs, for our maritime industry champions: our Filipino seafarers,” Secretary Tugade said.

SSS asks members, employers to keep online login details to themselves

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




Social Security System (SSS) President and CEO Michael G. Regino today urged members, pensioners, and employers of the state-pension fund to secure their login credentials on the My.SSS portal and other personal information to protect their accounts from fraudulent transactions.

Regino issued the reminder following several complaints from SSS members that their accounts with the My.SSS were being subjected to fraudulent transactions perpetuated by scammers and other unscrupulous persons.


One of the reasons why such fraudulent transactions occur, SSS insiders noted, was the tendency of some members to share their login credentials with unauthorized persons. These login information, Regino noted, should be kept confidential by accountholders to protect themselves from scammers.


Regino likened the SSS login credentials to the Personal Identification Number (PIN) that bank depositors use to access their accounts at the Automated Teller Machines (ATM). An ATM card PIN is a multi-digit number required at bank ATMs for carrying out transactions and is initially provided by the banks. This PIN can be reset or changed to a new PIN by the card owner but is kept as a strictly confidential information by the user.


“We have asked our stakeholders not to share their usernames, passwords, and other login details on their My.SSS accounts to unauthorized individuals. Giving your username and password to another person is like sharing your ATM PIN,” Regino said. “Anyone with this information could use your My.SSS account to avail of monetary benefits without your authorization.”


The SSS chief cited a case wherein a member sought the assistance of another person while trying to create and access his My.SSS account on the Internet. It turned out that the person from whom the SSS member sought for help is a fixer and scammer who later drew a salary loan from the account without his knowledge.


Regino also advised members not to entertain unofficial online groups in various platforms, like Facebook, that allegedly offer easier access to SSS online accounts and provided technical assistance for a fee to loan-seekers.


“We do not recognize these unofficial online groups, even those found on Facebook. We consider them illegal, and they cannot facilitate SSS transactions on behalf of our members,” Regino said.


He added that online transactions and services offered by the SSS portals are free, except when a member is requesting for a replacement of the Unified Multi-purpose ID Card (UMID), which carries a minimal fee.


Regino said members may visit the E-center in local branches and they will be assisted by SSS employees in their online transactions. “All our branches have an E-center containing several computers connected to the Internet. We have employees stationed there who are ready to help our members in creating and accessing their My.SSS account as well as guide them navigating and using the online portal for their transactions.”


Regino said the SSS management also regularly update its online facilities, such as the My.SSS Portal and SSS Mobile App, to better serve its members. In 2021, the Mobile App was redesigned to make it more user-friendly and easier for members to navigate and conduct their online transactions through mobile phone facilities.


He also reminded members, pensioners, and employers that SSS cannot be held accountable for fraudulent transactions once a member connives with a fixer.


Under Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, and Republic Act 11199, or the Social Security Act of 2018, make it illegal for members to engage the services of fixers.


SSS works closely with law enforcement agencies to curb the illegal activities of fixers. “We are determined to file charges against them who are taking advantage of our members and employers,” Regino concluded.

They may report these fixers or scammers to the Special Investigation Department (SID) through e-mail at fid@sss.gov.ph or at (02) 8924-7370.
