Delta 8 THC, or Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, is a psychoactive compound that is found in cannabis and hemp plants. Its chemical structure is similar to its well known relative Delta 9, (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC or weed. Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC differ slightly in their molecular structure, however both interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, activating CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.

Delta 8 is a psychoactive compound, meaning it can get one high. According to a study done by the Journal of Cannabis Research, individuals who’ve tried Delta 8 products reported its effects to include “relaxation, pain relief, and euphoria”, noting that it’s not as intense as Delta-9 THC. Though not as intense, most participants also reported that they experienced similar benefits but with lesser adverse effects.

Delta 8’s safety depends on various factors, most importantly where you get it from. That’s why it’s imperative to shop trusted brands that provide 3rd party lab results.
