Delta-8 cannabis and Delta-8-THC are two of the most common pharmaceutical drugs used in treating patients suffering from debilitating medical conditions including pain, nausea, seizures and glaucoma. In addition to Delta-8-THC, Delta-8 products also contain other ingredients that help reduce or eliminate side effects while still providing medical benefits. Delta-8-THC has proven especially effective in treating nausea and chemotherapy patients who may experience excessive side effects after treatments. Delta-8-THC is derived from a marijuana plant that is cultivated in three locations throughout the world. The name Delta-8 comes from the first letter of the plant's genus Delta-8, which means "darkish purple." Hemp is a broad category that includes plants and materials that contain delta-9-THC, including: grass, seeds, bark, leaves and stems. Although Delta-8-THC is extracted from hemp, it is not considered to be a psychoactive drug, as is cannabis. In fact, it is considered one of the safest pharmaceutical substances in the world by many medical professionals. Delta-8-THC is not only used for medical purposes but it is also used for recreational purposes. Many people who have taken Delta-8-THC and cannabis have reported positive results, including a reduction in nausea and vomiting and the reduction of the debilitating side effects experienced during chemotherapy. Delta-8-THC is a highly concentrated form of the cannabis plant that is almost two times more potent than delta-9 THC. The amount of delta-8 THC in cannabis is six percent, while Delta-8 THC is only two percent. Therefore, when comparing Delta-8 THC and Delta-8-THC, it is easy to see that Delta-8 THC is actually safer for you than cannabis! Delta-8-THC is currently imported to the United States from Canada. The United States government has issued a registration for only a certain amount of delta-9-THC and is warning the public about the extremely low concentrations of this particular cannabis plant material that may be present in marijuana products. This is despite the fact that there is no conclusive scientific data to support the claim that cannabis contains any Delta-8-THC. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration has stated that despite Delta-8-THC is present in cannabis, it is not a psychoactive substance. Even if Delta-8-THC is not considered a psychoactive substance, some medical practitioners still consider it an "illicit drug" because it is so similar to the active substance found in cannabis. Delta-8-THC is often smoked or ingested and can lead to a euphoric state. This is unlike delta-9-THC, which produces a more relaxed, but still highly alert, feeling. For this reason, Delta-8-THC is sometimes known as "delta THC," as it has a similar effect on the brain as does delta-9 THC. Delta-8-THC is most popular in Canada, but has recently become very popular in the United States. It is available in several different forms including rolling stone, shatterproof, pre-prepared capsules, and even flavored lip balm. If you are considering using a Delta-8 product, it is highly recommended that you carefully check the ingredients list to make sure that it does not contain any hemp. In addition, Delta-8-THC should never be mixed with CBD or any other Delta-9 THC based product.
