Delta-8 is a form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Most of us are only familiar with delta-9 THC, which is what most people refer to when they say THC. Delta-8 is an isomer of delta-9 THC, which means it has the same molecular formula as but the atoms are arranged differently. THC actually has four different isomers: delta-7, delta-8, delta-9, and delta-10.
Research suggests that delta-8 is about 66% as potent as delta-9 and has similar effects (1). This means it can get you high and produce other typical effects of THC, such as sedation. Delta-8 THC also appears to have a lower chance of causing anxiety and other common side effects of delta-9 THC, which is another reason for its popularity.
What You Need to Know (And What We’re Working to Find Out) About Products Containing Cannabis or Cannabis-derived Compounds, Including CBD.
Delta Munchies describes Delta 8 as the love child of Delta 9 and CBD. It’s perfectly in the middle.
CBD doesn’t contain any psychoactive ingredients, so while it still delivers all of the wonderful benefits of the cannabis plant –– help with pain, anxiety, hunger, nausea, insomnia, and more –– it won’t get you high. It’s ideal for people who want (or need) to experience the benefits of cannabis but aren’t interested in the mind-altering effects.
While Δ8 is similar to CBD in that it delivers many of the same positive effects, the difference lies in the fact that it still contains psychoactive ingredients.
THC affects everyone differently. For experienced smokers, it may feel like a more robust version of CBD. For more inexperienced smokers or those who may have a lower tolerance, it may feel like a less intense version of THC.
We suggest you take half a gummy your first time, unless you are an experienced cannabis user. Typically, people report that taking half a gummy helps them sleep, while taking a full gummy gives them a high.
Just like the rest of the cannabis plant, Δ8 binds to the CB1 receptors in your brain, which can help with things like Nausea, Insomnia, Anxiety, Restlessness, Negative mood, Pain and more. Read about more benefits here.
Like many areas in the cannabis industry (especially in America), this answer is constantly changing. For now, it’s mostly yes. As of 2022, it’s legal in most states.
It initially became legal because of The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, which made it possible to extract small amounts of Δ8 THC from hemp plants.
While the government creates new laws and regulations as marijuana legalization continues to expand across the country, this answer can (and probably will) change again in the future.

Please note: Delta-8 will show up on a drug test.
