«Joe Exotic» rides the Delta-8 wave

He had announced it, and he did it. While Joe Exotic is still in prison, his cannabis brand officially launched this week at a cannabis expo in Nevada.

And even if it meant never doing anything like everyone else, Joe decided to go surfing Riding the Delta-8 Wave, a THC analogue derived from hemp, which is more or less in a legal gray area in the United States and of sometimes questionable quality.

Although his conviction for attempted murder was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals, the sentence was overturned on procedural grounds; the convicted man’s attorney told TMZ that his client had an agreement with two partners to launch Joe Exotic Cannabis.

And two days after the appellate court’s decision was handed down, a post on Joseph Maldonado-Passage’s Twitter account—his real name—announced the launch of his various products to his followers: « Well, world, this is the official label for Joe Exotic Cannabis and Tiger P*ss Seltzer« .

The official launch took place yesterday, July 28, at the CHAMPS trade show in Las Vegas, which, incidentally, was raided by DEA agents searching for products containing Delta-8, Delta-10, and THCO.

The cannabis brand, Joe’s Exotics, offers delta-8 THC products, including pre-rolled joints, candies, and cannabinoid-infused seltzer. The goal is to distribute THC products to California dispensaries later this summer and then possibly to Nevada and Oklahoma—Mr. Maldonado-Passage’s home state—this fall.

At present, the Recreational cannabis is legal in California and in Nevada, but not in Oklahoma.

Brand Image, with subtitles The New King of Cannabis, includes an American rainbow flag, a flag Sorry, Joe and a headstone that reads RIP Hell, Carole, her sworn enemy.

His recent verdict is particularly significant. Joe will be sentenced again unless the efforts to secure a new trial—which his lawyers are currently working on—are successful. But the money raised through his various cannabis-related projects could be used to fund his defense!
