HOW DELTA 8 IS MADE
Delta 8 THC occurs naturally in cannabis, whether hemp or marijuana. The reason hemp flower does not provide a euphoric experience is because compounds like Delta 8 are in minuscule percentages within the buds. Our Delta 8 is naturally derived from industrial hemp to satisfy federal and state regulations.
The process involves converting CBD, sourced from hemp, into CBD isolate, a highly pure crystalline form of CBD. CBD isolate converts into Delta 8 THC through isomerization. Hemp processors heat the isolate in an organic solvent and introduce a variety of acids to catalyze a reaction. This process creates the Delta 8 THC Molecule. Delta 8 THC itself is not synthetic. The conversion process synthesizes Delta 8 at higher potencies.
DOES DELTA 8 WORK
If you are asking, "Will Delta 8 get me high"? Yes, it sure will. Although Delta 8 is not as potent as Delta 9, it's a legitimately psychoactive compound. The permanent legalization of Delta 8 in North Carolina and passive legal acknowledgment in most of the United States have been positive for states that don't benefit from the legalization of recreational cannabis.
Some people prefer the euphoric effects of Delta 8 to those of Delta 9; to each their own. Recreational and medical cannabis products have been growing stronger over the years. Some may go as far as to say that some of those products have become too intense for casual enjoyment. The more laid-back high provided by Delta 8 products may be a new lease on euphoria.
DELTA 8 VS. DELTA 9
Delta 8 and Delta 9 have similar effects on the body through the endocannabinoid system. They both create effects of euphoria and a mental state more commonly defined as a "high." Both have relatively the same molecular structure. The difference is that the double bond for Delta 8 is on the 8th carbon while on the 9th for Delta 9; hence their names. The double bond is what gives THC the psychoactive quality.
