Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol
Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol (better known as THC) has become one of the most popular federally legal cannabis options among cannabis enthusiasts.
However, there are some things that are important to know about Delta 8.
Whether you are a first-time buyer or a long-time enthusiast, you are sure to find out something interesting from this article, where we will explain five essential facts about Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol.
1. D8 Is Not the Same as Delta 9, Despite Chemical Similarities
When you see the abbreviation “THC” used, it more often than not refers to Delta 9 THC, not Delta 8 THC.
This is because Delta 9 THC is the compound responsible for the “high” in marijuana products.
Delta 9 can also be derived from hemp, however, which is why we here at Hectare’s and Bourbon Country Cannabis are able to offer customers products such as Delta 9 small beverages.
Delta 8 and Delta 9 are isomers, meaning they have the same chemical makeup but a different arrangement of atoms.
That slight difference in structure ensures that Delta 8 is the milder option of the two. So, if you want a recreational experience that is not as intense as Delta 9, then spring for Delta 8 products.
2. Delta 8 Can Be Derived from Hemp, Making It Legal
In 2018, Congress passed the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, which legalized the production of hemp.
Hemp is just a variety of the cannabis plant, just as marijuana is a variety of the cannabis plant.
Knowledgeable cannabis enthusiasts must have anticipated that hemp’s lower THC content meant that effective Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC products could still be derived from hemp.
And so here we are today, where you can legally buy and enjoy hemp-derived Delta 8 THC products from vendors across the country.
3. Yes, Delta 8 Is Natural
Though we have already mentioned that Delta 8 THC occurs naturally in hemp, this point deserves reemphasizing.
Common misconceptions about Delta 8 THC products hold that D8 has its origins in a lab.
But the reality is that it is a cannabinoid, a naturally occurring compound that is found in cannabis plants that can be extracted.
So, Delta 8’s origins are completely natural.
4. Delta 8 Will Still Show Up On A Drug Test
If you are drug tested for work or any other reason, then be apprised that Delta 8 THC will show up on a drug test.
This is because drug tests do not test for “marijuana”, but THC. Although hemp-derived THC products are legal in Kentucky, you ought to let your employer or drug testing agency know that the THC in your system comes from legal Delta 8 products.
