Any way I can test this theory outside of him being high?

I'll take a stoner over some of these pharmaceutical zombies that are out and about. Was one myself for six months (shitty Iowa doctors)...ditzy doofus types are better than those that literally have no short term memory.

The delta 8 stuff was clearly planted by specific political favorites. Why weren't average folk in on it? I don't even no anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who started selling their product immediately. And I'm obviously not talking about the retail outlets, for obvious reasons

Never hallucinated from any pot derivative before. Red oil was an almost. What edibles and what amount caused it?

In the 60s people were getting high on weed with 2% of the thc as now... There is no need to always smoke the highest potency of pot..

It's a common American fallacy that if a little of something is good then an infinite amount is the best

What does spice do? I don't know anything about it

Yes it's legal here

Or he's never smoked anything before this.

Delta-8 THC (or Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring chemical compound called a cannabinoid that’s found in small traces in hemp and cannabis (marijuana) plants. Its popularity is on the rise, and you can find it everywhere from boutique weed dispensaries to convenience store shelves.
Why is there such a growing demand for Delta-8? For starters, its chemical structure is similar to that of its well-known cousin, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9-THC), the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana. That’s what gets you “high.”
Both Delta-8 and Delta-9 are forms of THC. But when people refer to THC, they usually mean the Delta-9 that’s found in high concentrations in marijuana. Both produce a euphoric, fuzzy feeling, but Delta-8 causes a milder high.
In fact, Delta-8 is often referred to as “marijuana-lite” or “diet weed.” Other common THC side effects like paranoia, anxiety, and drowsiness are also less potent.
Another reason for Delta-8’s growing popularity is that, unlike heavily regulated THC, Delta-8 is legal to use in most states. That’s because it’s extracted mostly from hemp-derived CBD, which is legal to farm across the U.S.
About a dozen states, including Colorado, Oregon, New York and Washington, have banned hemp-derived Delta-8 and more states are considering bills to outlaw the compound.
The irony of all this is that the Farm Bill, which was focused on legalizing industrial hemp and hemp-derived products like CBD, legalized products like Delta-8. These products are not regulated by state marijuana programs and are not required to be tested and sold through cannabis dispensaries. This is why bodegas and local smoke shops sell these products legally and how states that don’t have access to legal cannabis host two markets: an illicit marijuana trade and a legal, yet-unregulated, Delta-8 industry.
“The only reason Delta-8 exists at all is because it’s a product of prohibition,” says Jim Higdon, a former journalist and author who now runs Cornbread Hemp, which sells certified-organic CBD products from Kentucky to all 50 states. “It exists because there's a demand for Delta-9 THC, which is still restricted because of bullshit state and federal laws. It is the bathtub gin of the 2020s.”
For Kentucky’s Delta-8 retailers, the controversy helped increase consumer awareness that there is a product like marijuana but legal in their state. “Honestly, I think it just created the opposite effect of what was intended—it's been phenomenal,” says Taylor, who sells about $50,000 worth of Delta-8 products a month from her store on Moser Road in Louisville.
