Delta-8-THC

  Delta-8  THC is the latest "legal high". Because of its psychoactive effects, delta-9 THC has made this compound very popular. It does not cause anxiety or paranoia, but it does not have the psychoactive properties of delta-9 THC. A provision was added to the Farm Bill that removed hemp and derivatives containing very low levels of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (Schedule I Controlled Substances) from the Farm Bill. Manufacturers were able to source CBD from hemp, another cannabinoid. Companies began to extract delta-8 THC from CBD after the explosion in popularity. This brings us to today's topic. We will discuss what delta-8 THC (or cannabis) is, how safe it is, and where to find it.     What is Delta-8 THC?   Delta-8 is a newly discovered cannabinoid.
