Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol
Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, often referred to as Delta-8-THC, is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is chemically similar to Delta-9-THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, but has a slightly different molecular structure. This difference can result in milder psychoactive effects, making it appealing to some users seeking a less intense experience.
Delta-8-THC is typically derived from hemp, which is legal in many areas due to the 2018 Farm Bill. It is available in various forms, including edibles, tinctures, and vape products. Users often report feelings of relaxation and euphoria, though research on its effects and safety is still limited.
