Delta 8 is a cannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant, similar to the more well-known Delta 9 THC. It is known for producing milder psychoactive effects, which some users find more manageable. Delta 8 is often extracted from hemp, making it legal in many areas where Delta 9 THC is not. Products containing Delta 8 come in various forms, including gummies, oils, and vape cartridges. While it is gaining popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as anxiety relief and pain management, research on its safety and efficacy is still limited. Users should approach it with caution and awareness.
