Delta-8 THC (short for delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids that are produced naturally by the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are the active compounds that come from both marijuana and hemp. Each individual cannabinoid has unique properties and effects.
Unlike the better-known cannabinoids like CBD and Delta-9 THC (the technical name for THC that most are familiar with), only small amounts of Delta-8 THC are produced by the plant itself.
However, recent advancements in cannabis extraction and conversion processes have made it possible for pure Delta-8 THC to be isolated and made into products for consumers.
Delta-8 THC can probably best be described as a less potent, more uplifting and clear-headed version of Delta-9 THC.
The difference between Delta-8 and Delta 9 is minor from a scientific perspective. A double carbon bond exists in the 8th position of the molecular chain for Delta-8 versus the 9th position for Delta 9.
