What is Delta 8
Delta 8 Derived from the hemp plant was made federally legal with the 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act.
Cannabis and hemp plants grow very small amounts of delta-8 THC, making it far more rare than delta-9. However, it can be derived from either type of cannabis plant using special breeding, extraction, and processing methods. Okay, so a different THC cannabinoid exists, why does it matter? While delta-8 and delta-9 THC may share similarities, they have some noted differences. Unlike CBD, which is heralded for its lack of psychoactive effects, that is not the case for delta-8 THC. A good way to think about it generally is something like the light beer of THC. It can energize or relax the consumer depending on the larger terpene and cannabinoid profile.
