What is Delta-8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is a different type of THC that is found within the hemp plant. Similar to delta-9 THC, its widely recognized cannabinoid known for its psychoactive properties, delta-8 has slight chemical differences that allow it to produce unique, generally milder effects.
Although it can be found in the cannabis plant, Delta-8 THC is only present at low concentrations naturally, 0.1% and lower. Since the concentration is so low in the plant, Delta-8 has to be produced by converting hemp-derived CBD to Delta-8 THC using acids and filtration.
Many people enjoy the effects of delta-8 because it delivers a powerful, uplifting effect that you can feel. We’ve also heard many stories of people using delta-8 to sleep better.
