  2. 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, let’s begin.

  3. 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, it’s 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.

  4. 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 it’s 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 you’re 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 What Is the Similarity Between Delta-8 THC and CBD? potent strains.

  6. 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.What’s 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.
