Delta-8 is a type of THC, which is the psychoactive compound in the cannabis sativa plant. The effects of Delta-8 are similar to the more common THC compound called “Delta-9 THC.”

Delta-8 THC acts as an Indica, known as the nighttime strain, used for relaxing and unwinding at the end of a day. Not only is Delta-8 THC  a potent relaxant that can relieve stress, but it can also improve your focus and sleep patterns, ease pain, reduce anxiety, boost appetite, and relieve nausea and vomiting.

Mainly, studies have shown it can help alleviate symptoms of certain mental health disorders. Some people may find Delta-8 THC more helpful for managing symptoms that come along with depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health conditions. To set an example, a 2021 survey suggest that Delta-8 THC may be just as effective as Delta -9 THC and pharmaceutical drugs, possibly resulting in fewer undesirable or adverse reactions. Researchers found that 51% of survey participants used Delta-8 THC to alleviate a range of mental health and medical conditions, such as:

• Anxiety or panic attacks
• Stress
• Depression or Bipolar Disorder
• Chronic pain

Now, this isn't a guarantee, everyone's body reacts differently. DO NOT take Delta-8 THC as a cure for mental health disorders or medical conditions, it COULD help relieve symptoms.

It is crucial to get lab-tested products, verifying that the Delta-8 THC you consume isn't filled with harmful heavy metals, pesticides, mold, and other potential contaminants. Many places sell products that don't even match the label that's describing it, selling them at a higher mark-up point with no oversight or regulation. Although Delta-8 THC can be synthetically produced, it is also important to remember that the plant itself has come a long way in research and development. Delta-8 THC has been found to be naturally re-occurring in the plant, meaning it produces itself without the help of humans. It is produced in small amounts, but it can be produced in bigger amounts deriving it from hemp, which is the same species as the cannabis sativa plant with just lower Delta-9 THC percentages. Delta-8 THC is milder, meaning it can be more enjoyable instead of prompting panic or paranoia. Another misconception is comparing Delta-8 THC to K2 (Spice), and we can rectify that now. K2 was entirely man-made and not a natural product to begin with, filled with harsh chemicals, fillers, and other dangerous toxins causing overdoses, heart issues, and even  death. Just because it was specifically made to try and get around existing drug laws against marijuana, and could be bought at any corner gas station without proper testing that would have deemed it unsafe to begin with. Delta-8 THC is a completely different thing entirely, it is natural, it is not man-made and there are precautions that can be taken to avoid the use of fillers, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, and so on.
