Delta8 or THC8 is Δ8THC is a cannabinoid found in the tetrahydrocannabinoid family. It is commonly derived from the cannabis plant. THC8 is double bond isomer just like the well-known THC9 which is also produced by the cannabis plant and is best known for its psychoactive properties.
So now that we are thru all the nice chemist techno jargon. you are probably wondering what does this mean to you and why are we even talking about it? Well Delta8 is so closely related to Delta9 that it does have psychoactive properties unlike regular CBD this particular version does have psychoactive effects that are noticeable when used. So if you are in a state where marijuana is not legal so you do not have access to legal dispensaries then this might be the perfect alternative for you.
How Does Delta8 / THC8 Make You Feel?

This is one of the big questions about THC8. So, we experimented with Delta8 for about 2 weeks and here is what we found out about how this CBD makes you feel.
The effects are quite similar to marijuana but less intense when it comes to the psychoactive part of the high. You feel it more in the body however there is a definite psychoactive component that is much like a marijuana high but more mellow. It is somewhat hard to describe until you experience it for yourself but for the most part it is like a toned down THC9 high.
We also noticed that the Indica and sativa characteristics definitely come thru here. So, if you want mellow and sedative an Indica or a hybrid will do the trick. If you are more looking for mellow but with a boost in energy, then a sativa strain is best. I will say one thing. I am very much a light weight and I really do not do well with Indica strains. For some reason I tend to get paranoid when using them. One thing I noticed with Delta8 when trying a hybrid like White Widow where with a marijuana strain I am fine with it with Delta8 I had more of the Indica come thru then I like. So, I switched to Sour Diesel which is straight sativa and I am loving those effects. So just a word of caution when trying a THC8 cartridge if you are not a Indica fan don’t go down the hybrid road but go straight Sativa.

The simple answer is this if the Delta 8 product is made from hemp than according to the 2018 Farm Bill it is a 50-state legal product. However, there are some states that have their own laws when it comes to hemp products of any kind so it’s always best to check on what that looks like in your area.
One word of caution here is also if you have to pass a drug test for work or any other reason you may not pass using THC8 it is so closely related to THC9 that a drug test looking for delta9 will likely come out positive.
