The cannabis industry is still in its infancy,
but the ever-changing cannabis model goes under
the research process more often than before.
Fortunately, the research part has benefited the
industry a lot because now they can prove the
medicinal aspects of both CBD and THC. The only
exception, in this case, is the federal status.
You see, cannabis is still illegal on the federal
level and it leaves less room for in-depth and
concrete research. Whatever few studies we have
helps us learn a little bit about cannabinoids,
but the industry still has a long way to go.
Delta-8 THC is also a part of the research
process. It is only through scientific evidence
that we have learned a lot about cannabis and its
cannabinoids. Not only this, but Delta-8 THC is
the new hype of the cannabis industry.Delta-8 THC
is another compound of the cannabis plant that is
doing its rounds in the market these days. It is
believed that Delta-8 THC has remarkable
psychoactive effects. And more and more people
are demanding this new cannabinoid on the block.
It comes with its unique properties and
unfortunately not a lot of cannabis enthusiasts
or people, in general, know about this form of
THC. Even the research that exists is limited to
a few journals and papers. Despite its
unpopularity and lack of research, here are a few
things that we can help you learn about THC.
Also, why Delta-8 THC is different from CBD.
Without further a do, lets begin.

What Is Delta-8 THC?
While it is not necessary to categorize Delta-8
THC as a different member of the cannabis family,
the composition and effects of this compound vary
a lot. It is the fourth most popular compound of
the cannabis plant. Of course, after THC and CBD.
The interesting thing about this compound is that
it is less potent than its close cousin Delta-9
THC. Delta-9 THC is another powerful compound of
the cannabis plant, but we will get into its
nitty and gritty in another post. For now, let us
learn everything about Delta-8 THC.Another facet
about this cannabinoid is that it occurs in very
small quantities. The concentrates are so small
in quantity that it is sometimes difficult to
extract and engineer them. In fact, its rare
presence increases the value and cost of Delta-8
THC induced products. Not only this, but this
compound goes through a tedious process of
isolation, filtration, extraction, and
refinement. You can get this product from the
cannabis market using an MMJ card in Oakland or
the state you reside in. It is a powerful
cannabinoid with both therapeutic and euphoric
properties. Also, known as an isomer of CBD,
Delta-8 THC is derived from hemp. And the good
news is that anything derived from the hemp plant
is legal. However, make sure that the product
contains less than or equal to 0.3 Delta-9 THC.

Yes, CBD and Delta-8 THC are cousins of the same
family, but you can find out many similarities
between them. First and foremost, CBD and THC
belong to the same family. Delta-8 THC is a
lesser-known part of the plant, but its not a
different chemical. You will find a lot of
similarities after looking at the chemical
composition of these components. Second, both CBD
and Delta-8 THC are connected with each other.
This means that they respond to medical illnesses
well through the entourage effect. Alone, they
are not as powerful and when it comes to Delta-9
THC and Delta-8 THC, the real difference is its
placement. While Delta-8 THC contains a double
bind on the 8th carbon chain, Delta-9 THC
contains it on the 9th chain. Also, this is where
they get their names from.Besides the bond
formation, both of them can interact with ECS due
to their structural similarities. Interestingly,
they also share the properties and serve the same
purpose as another. In case youre wondering,
what is the point of extraction? Well, the answer
is quite simple. Each cannabinoid has a different
purpose to serve and some act more powerfully
than others. So, it is all about the strength and
effect of the cannabinoid.In addition to this, it
is also vital to note that both the cannabinoids
bind to the CB1 receptor in the brain region. The
only exception, in this case, is that Delta-8 THC
has lower psychoactive effects with half the
power as THC. This also makes it an adept choice
for people who cannot tolerate highly potent
strains.

• You are more likely to fail a drug test
• Psychoactive
• Present in low concentrations
• Used for both medicinal and recreational purposes
• Binds to both CB2 and CB1 receptors.

• Decreased possibility of drug test fail
• Non-psychoactive
• Present in high concentrations
• Used for medicinal purposes
• Binds to only one receptor (CB1)
• your students.

What Is the Legal Status of Delta-8 THC?
Well, the situation with Delta-8 THC is quite
complex. It is legal on the federal level, but
make sure you check-in with the state laws before
seeking Delta-8 THC care. That said first let us
look at the Farm Bill. This bill became law in
2018 and opened a legal gateway for every
compound that is derived from the hemp plant. As
a result, most people who cultivated hemp had
financial and manufacturing provisions. This step
also changed a lot of things for people who
bought cannabis using a medical cannabis card in
Oakland or California. You see, you no longer
need a cannabis card to purchase CBD oil.With the
new law, each and every derivative of the
cannabis plant becomes legal on the federal
level. Be it a concentrate, isomer, or any other
cannabinoid. Anything with less than 0.3 Delta-9
THC is legal and you can easily get it over the
counter without having to show the
prescription.Whats more interesting than the
whole family of the cannabis plant is not legal
on the federal level. It still falls under the
schedule 1 substances category and this issue
complicates the legal aspect of cannabis. Users
remain confused and they are always worried about
a possible arrest. No wonder, we have seen so
many protesting and asking justice for people
arrested on the basis of assumption. The bottom
line is that you need to check-in with the state
laws and understand how to navigate legally while
using CBD and THC safely.
