According to a statement made by the National Cancer Institute, delta-8-THC can be defined as an analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. [Delta-8-THC] binds to the cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptor CB1, located in the central nervous system…This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than [delta-9-THC], the primary form of THC found in cannabis.
Although it is chemically different from delta-9-THC by only a few atomic bonds but can still offers a potent high of its own. While it only exists naturally as a fractions of a percent of the overall hemp plant, companies are finding value in concentrating esoteric cannabinoids for their unique effects and applications. CBD and THC companies from around the world are currently producing Delta 8 Vapes, Gummies, Tinctures and Flower that demonstrates these properties.
