What is Delta-8 THC?

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.

CBD -VS- Δ8

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.

DOES IT GET YOU HIGH?

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.

WHAT DOSAGE SHOULD I TAKE?

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.

ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS?

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.

IS IT LEGAL?

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.

Why Delta-8 is Controversial

Delta-8 THC is controversial because it offers a “legal high” in states where recreational cannabis is banned. It’s all because of a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized hemp across the nation.

The bill limits hemp-derived products to no more than 0.3% of delta-9 THC but has no such limit for delta-8 THC. Cannabis and hemp plants naturally have low delta-8 THC levels, so legislators never bothered to mention it in the bill.

But you can also make large amounts of delta-8 from hemp-derived CBD through a fairly simple chemical process. By the bill’s definition, this delta-8 THC is considered legal.

Delta-8 THC has also generated debate about whether it counts as synthetic. The process used to create delta-8 from CBD is clearly not natural.

On one hand, you could argue that delta-8 THC is not synthetic because it’s made from CBD, a natural cannabinoid
On the other hand, you could argue that creating any new cannabinoid from another cannabinoid makes it synthetic

Some also argue that delta-8 THC is illegal because it violates the 1986 Federal Analogue Act, which bans substances that are “substantially similar” to controlled drugs.
