Forgive me if I am ignorant and mistaken, however I am fairly sure that the chemical compounds you are referring to are called 'Cannabinoids' rather than 'Canavanoids'.
And to address those who are curious about why it is still illegal a couple people up there have it nailed, it was Dupont and the whole story is really rather repulsive. That wood paper company would have suffered a huge loss in profits since hemp is essentially a wondercrop. the seeds are very nutritious, and can be reduced to oils and used to manufacture a wide array of incredibly useful and environmentally positive products (compared to wood paper which pollutes the earth, and utilizes trees which take an entire lifetime to regrow, as opposed to a single season).
Andrew Mellon was the secretary of state and incidentally the primary investor of DuPont. Additionally, he appointed his railroad working no highschool degree having nephew in-law Harry J. Anslinger as the Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Harry had credentials in engineering and business management, not science.
Anyway, Harry is the guy who published vastly falsified and atrociously inaccurate "scientific proof" that the drug marihuana makes people axe murder their families and will always cause violent psychosis.
(marijuana is a bastardized slang mexican term {marihuana} used to disguise the fact that was actually the wondercrop cannibis which they used for damn near everything.)
I could go on and on and on but if youre interested you should check out the intraweb for more.
I fully understand and agree with the laws whose purpose is to protect minors from being exploited by adults, but I absolutely cannot stand the ignorant behavior that most adults exhibit. The lawmakers seem to believe that once a person turns eighteen, they suddenly receive vast amounts of knowledge and wisdom that qualify them to make responsible decisions. Conversely, they believe that NO "child" who is under 18 could possibly understand the consequences of their actions.
Bullshit....
A seventeen and sixteen year old couple is COMPLETELY aware of the possible consequences of their actions, but unlike the adults who OBVIOUSLY "have it right", they don't care. They don't care because they have their entire lives ahead of them! It seems that the "adults" forgot what it was like to be sexually excited by the person you are involved with. Not only do they have every right to do whatever they want with each other sexually, but to actually believe that "These children are not mature enough to make rational decisions concerning all the possible negative implications of producing these videos." shows direct disrespect toward humanity. Just because the laws say that these people are some sort of primal creatures until they turn eighteen doesn't make it true.
Could we maybe just accept the possibility that 'children' are humans, not animals.
p.s. This happens ALL the time. the ONLY reason that these kids are facing consequences in the future is the overreaction of the authorities. Great job, you're fucking up peoples lives because they have sexual desire. (of course its the American way to persecute other people based on your own beliefs. Thats what Jesus would have done!/sarcasm )
I saw one of these "devices" (or one almost exactly like it) almost a year ago to the day on vacation in Seattle. Ya know what I did? I smiled. I smiled because it was a clever way to advertise (and because I knew what it was from). Nevertheless, when I looked at it I still would have realized it wasn't a bomb. It was flipping me off, not ticking.
If we painted all stupid people orange. Then we would know to just stay away from those ones.

just moments ago, I am astounded by the power of people.

Surprised honestly..
