Delta-8<\/b> THC is a cannabinoid found in cannabis plants, similar to Delta-9 THC. It interacts with our endocannabinoid system to help provide relief from pain, anxiety, inflammation, etc. In addition, it also gives the user a high, but it is quite different from that of Delta-9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it<\/span>\u00a0comes mostly from hemp plants that do not have a high THC content, to begin with. However, the legal status of hemp is more liberal than that of Delta-9 due to its origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, it comes from CBD, derived through ‘isomerization.’ Since it<\/span>\u00a0comes from industrial hemp and not marijuana, it is much more accessible to many people across the States.<\/span><\/p>\n

After changing the arrangement of CBD to create <\/span>Delta-8<\/b>, you get pure Delta-8 which might not be a lot but is very intense. Delta-8 then goes into numerous products such as vape juice, rolls, gummies, etc. Overall, not only is Delta-8 more accessible to many people across various states, but it also has different and better results than Delta-9 does in many aspects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Delta-9?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol<\/a> gets simplified to THC. Delta-9 is probably the most common form of THC found in cannabis plants. It is a psychoactive substance that gives the user a euphoric and slightly mind-altering experience after consumption. It is one of the main reasons people use cannabis, although other implications have arisen with research.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delta-9 comes from marijuana plants, and people usually use it along with the other cannabinoids present in the marijuana plant for a better effect. Apart from achieving a euphoric effect, people also use Delta-9 to deal with anxiety, pain, etc. However, Delta-9 users experience more inconveniences than others. <\/span>A WHO report on Delta-9<\/span><\/a> also stated how Delta-9 comes with numerous side effects like vomiting, nausea, anxiety, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delta-9 interacts with the cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoid system similarly. In addition, the effects it has are certainly more intense and mind-altering if you compare it with Delta-8. Also, the legal status of Delta-9 is murky due to it coming from marijuana plants and not industrial hemp.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the crucial features of Delta-8 that sets it apart from Delta-9 is its balanced psychoactive effects on the user. It does not have as intense of effect as Delta-9 yet gives a euphoric and fuzzy feeling. <\/span>A study of the effects of Delta-9<\/span><\/a> on users concluded that it comes with plenty of desired and undesired effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The high that comes with Delta-9 is intoxicating and may be too intense for some users. In addition, the high users experienced various adverse effects after consuming THC. These effects ranged from minor nausea and vomiting to paranoia, increased anxiety, and short-term memory impairment. These adverse effects often hold people back from enjoying the medicinal properties of cannabis products.<\/span><\/p>\n

For people who want to enjoy the medical benefits of THC or relax after a tough day, the adverse effects discourage them. Consequently, more people turn to Delta-8 since it has a smoother high. With Delta-8, you will not have all the adverse effects but feel euphoric and fight anxiety and stress.<\/span><\/p>\n
