what is delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC, also referred to as D8, Delta 8, and Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol, is an isomer of cannabidiol or “CBD”. It is another type of cannabinoid found in the hemp plant like CBD, CBG, CBC, CBDv, and so on. Despite its name, it does not have the same kind of intoxicating effects as delta 9 THC. While Delta 8 can alter and elevate your mood, it is far less intoxicating and much more functional than Delta 9 THC. It can give a moderate “buzz” but without the same levels of intoxication, anxieties, or paranoia typically associated with delta 9 THC.Until recently this cannabinoid has not been widely available outside of the medical marijuana markets, but thanks to Congress and President Trump, the groundbreaking legislation known as the 2018 Farm Bill allowed for cannabinoids like Delta 8 THC to be legalized federally and we are now able to begin quantifying all of its many potential benefits.
