Congress passed a law at the end of last year to restrict the sale of unregulated, intoxicating h**p products (e.g., delta-8). Now, it is critical to ensure that this new law is implemented and enforced.

After Congress legalized h**p in 2018, with the intention of legalizing industrial and non-intoxicating h**p products (e.g., CBD), companies exploited a loophole in that law to create new products from h**p with higher concentrations of THC. These intoxicating h**p-derived products became widespread but have largely been unregulated, allowing them to be designed and sold in ways that appeal and are accessible to kids.

Congress took a crucial step to combat the proliferation of these unregulated, intoxicating products in November when it passed a law banning products synthetically derived from h**p and h**p products with more than a small amount of THC or other intoxicating compounds. These new restrictions are set to take effect a year from passage, November 2026, allowing time for the industry to adjust and for regulators to prepare for enforcement.

Send a letter to your members of Congress urging them to oppose efforts to delay implementation of the new h**p restrictions in order to better protect youth from the negative health outcomes associated with using intoxicating h**p-derived substances.

“Gas station he**in” is the nickname for tianeptine, a substance that is sometimes sold in convenience stores, smoke shops, or online under brand names like Tianaa, Zaza, Neptune’s Fix, Pegasus and TD Red. In the U.S., it is often marketed as a dietary supplement or nootropic which can mislead consumers about its safety.

Outside the U.S., tianeptine may be considered an antidepressant that is prescribed in lower doses to treat anxiety, major depression disorder and irritable bowel disease. Studies have shown high amounts of this drug increase the uptake of serotonin to the brain leading users to experience a sense of euphoria.

Misuse of tianeptine can produce effects similar to he**in or morphine, which is why it’s been dubbed “gas station he**in.” Its availability in gas stations or convenience stores does not mean it is safe or legal.
