F.A.Q.

Delta‑8‑tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta‑8‑THC) is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the cannabis plant but is not found in significant amounts. Concentrated amounts are typically manufactured from hemp‑derived cannabidiol (CBD).

"Delta‑8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects, similar to delta‑9 THC (i.e., the component responsible for the “high” people may experience from using cannabis)."

“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… This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than [delta‑9‑THC]…”

A variety of Cannabis sativa L., hemp is a dioecious plant, meaning it has separate male and female plants. These plants have served many purposes for over 10,000 years. We get fiber from stems, protein from seeds, oils from leaves, and oils from smokable flowers.

In the U.S., the THC level is the legal defining line between hemp and marijuana. Hemp contains 0.3% THC or less. Plants exceeding 0.3% THC are considered marijuana and remain federally illegal under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act.

Delta‑8 THC derived from hemp is federally legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as the final product contains less than 0.3% delta‑9 THC. Some states have banned or restricted its sale, so always check local regulations.

Delta‑8 is typically manufactured by converting CBD from hemp through a chemical process. Because hemp naturally contains only trace amounts of delta‑8, extraction from the plant itself is not practical for commercial purposes.

Yes. Delta‑8 is psychoactive and can produce a “high,” but it is generally reported to be milder and less anxiety-inducing than delta‑9 THC. Effects vary depending on dose, individual tolerance, and method of consumption.

Delta‑8 is available in many forms: vape cartridges, gummies, tinctures, and flower. Start with a low dose to understand your tolerance, and follow product-specific dosing instructions.

Delta‑8 can cause mild side effects such as dry mouth, red eyes, drowsiness, or mild anxiety. Effects are typically less intense than delta‑9 THC, but caution is advised, especially if driving or operating machinery.

Yes. Most standard drug tests look for THC metabolites, which are chemically similar for delta‑8 and delta‑9 THC. Use caution if you are subject to drug testing.

Keep Delta‑8 products in a cool, dark, dry place, away from heat and sunlight. Proper storage extends shelf life and preserves potency and flavor.

Delta‑8 products are sold online and in select dispensaries in states where legal. Always buy from reputable vendors that provide lab-tested, compliant products.
