Delta-8 THC, What is it? And is it legal?

What is Delta-8 THC?  According to 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.”

Shops all over the USA have been selling Delta-8 THC for the past few months. Many fear that they are doing so illegally.

However, vendors and legal teams are advising clients to continue selling Delta-8, arguing that it is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Update:

Since this blog was published, a lot has changed around the Delta-8 conversation. Some states have come out and straight up banned this minor cannabinoid.

Other states have come out and supported it. While its legal status still remains a bit uncertain, the DEA has made a bold statement regarding cannabinoids like Delta-8 and THC-O.
