What is Delta-8?
For our readers who are familiar with the world of CBD and THC, you must be aware of the confusion surrounding delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive compound claimed to have all the benefits without the adverse effects associated with THC.
For our newbies, this may come out a bit confusing. Delta-8 THC is a variant of THC and the sole purpose of this discovery was to find a solution to remove the ill effects that may be associated with THC while delivering the benefits to its user.
In the article below, we will dig deeper into the potential benefits of delta-THC.
What is delta-8?
Delta-8 THC is a psychoactive compound very similar to THC Delta-9. Delta-9 THC is associated with the feeling of getting high, this compound is in the cannabis plant. Usually, this is what the people are referring to when they talk about THC.
Though delta-8 is similar to delta-9 THC, it has a slightly different chemical structure that makes it a lot less potent.
What are the potential benefits of delta-8?
Since Delta-8 and Delta-9 are very similar, it is important to understand what benefits are there to use one over the other. Just like any THC variant the use produces feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and potential pain relief. The difference with the Delta-8 variant is they are milder and do not create a “high” due to the lower potency. Some people see that as a big benefit, as they are looking to get the benefits out without actually losing control.
Researchers still don’t know enough about delta-8 THC to confirm that the benefits outweigh any potential risks. Experts have a much better understanding of delta-9 THC. The effects of THC namely red eyes, dry mouth, rapid heart rate, trouble with coordination, slowed reaction times, anxiety, and memory loss, are dependent on the individual, age, health, dose among many things, and is found to be milder with Delta-8.
Knowing the source of the delta-8 is essential because with synthetically produced delta-8 you never know what it has. So we request all our readers to please check for the source before buying any product.
If you are looking for a high, we suggest you look for other CBD and THC products, know to produce psychoactive effects.
