Delta 8 THC 101
Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8 THC) is a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant, similar to the more well-known Delta-9 THC. However, Delta-8 THC has a slightly different chemical structure due to the placement of a double bond in its molecular chain. This difference leads to some variations in effects between Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC.
Delta-8 THC is known for producing milder head change compared to Delta-9. Users often report feeling a lot more clear-headed with less anxiety and paranoia, making it preferable for some individuals who are sensitive to Delta-9 THC.
Extraction and Sources
Delta-8 THC comes from CBD that's been extracted from hemp, then converted to Delta 8. The way that CBD converts to Delta 8 is by using acids or catalysts through a process called isomerization. The converted Delta-8 THC is purified and tested for potency and purity before being used in consumer products.
Legality
The legal status of Delta 8 THC varies from state to state within the U.S. However, some states have banned Delta 8 products or have placed restrictions. We can only sell Delta 8 where it's currently not restricted.
