Most novice cannabis users and even people who don’t use the plant could tell you that THC is the main compound that gets you high.
However beyond THC and CBD your average person probably couldn’t name many more cannabinoids.
Delta 8 is a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp.
It could be described as the middle ground between delta 9 THC and CBD.
It will bind to your CB1 and CB2 receptors allowing you to get the full medicated benefits while feeling high without the paranoia.
Also anxious side, which some users can experience when smoking delta 9 THC.
Big differences?
One difference is you feel less on the physcoactive side, than you would be smoking something containing Delta 9 THC.
But more in-depth research has shown that Delta 8 THC could be the way forward for medical users.
Especially ones who are looking for a more gradual elevation to their high.
as opposed to the current Bang for your buck D9 THC that the market is heavily saturated can now turn to Delta 8.
In America, anything derived from hemp including Delta 8 THC is 100% legal on the federal level, which is great for Americans as they can sell and ship products without any regulation or problems.
In essense
Delta-8 THC has become popular with some consumers because it promises the health benefits of cannabis, but with a smoother high and less risk of feeling anxious or paranoid. In a way, it fits somewhere between Delta-9 THC and CBD, which contains no THC.
So Delta 9 might be the friend to pretend to push you off the edge of the cliff, while Delta 8 would be the friend who slowly walked with you to the edge of the cliff and the sat down with you and told you to be careful in nice kind and caring way.
