Yeah, we're not talking about the JWH type drugs or anything that acted like THC. This was literally synthesized THC. Now that would be nice.

What's valerian root like? Is it any good? Do you mix it with kava kava?
And yes, I blame Nixon too.

Yes, better luck next year. 
However, I've found some evidence that Erowid's assertion that synthetic THC was outlawed on August 21st is incorrect. I'll bump this once more before until I'm sure though.

I never found out for sure when it became federally illegal, but I'm more sure than ever that it wasn't today.

Okay, I finally did some more research into the date of the scheduling of synthetic THC. Erowid now has the actual Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs' Microgram journals on their site. So what the September 1968 Microgram says is that August 21st was the date that "the final order" was published by the Attorney General. It goes on to say that "The effective date bringing THC under control will be September 22, 1968, unless objections arise to the proposal." So from my point of view, it appears as though the date was actually (scheduled to be) September 22nd. But Erowid knows a whole lot more than I'll ever know about drug illegality. So if they take August 21st to be the date, because that's when the final order was published, then I'll continue to go with August 21st, unless someone can convince me otherwise.
Quote:
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
We have reports that THC is allegedly being sold in various parts of the country. Our Agents have purchased capsules which were promoted as THC, however, on analysis, these have proven to be some other drug, the most recent being phencyclidine, HC1.
We know that the illicit producers are interested in THC, because several of the raided labs have contained literature on the synthesis of THC, as well as chemicals which could be used in that syn-thesis. Reprints of "Total Synthesis of...Tetrahydrocannabinol, a Biologically Active Constitiuent of Hashish (Marijuana)" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 89 17 (August 16, 1967) is being advertised for sale as the "Legal Hash Formula" in the underground press.
The Attorney General has proposed that synthesized tetrahydrocannabinols be placed under control. The initial proposal was published in the Federal Register July 9, 1968, and a reprint is attached. The final order was published August 21, 1968 (33 FR 11814). The effective date bringing THC under control will be September 22, 1968, unless objections arise to the proposal.
