Delta-8 THC is a minor cannabinoid that naturally occurs in hemp in tiny concentrations. Delta-8 THC has a similar molecular structure as Delta-9 THC (marijuana) with a few key differences. When ingested, Delta-8 THC binds to the CB1 receptor, similar to traditional THC. The CB1 receptor mediates the psychotropic effects of THC. Meaning that Delta-8 is considered psychoactive. However, due to its slightly altered molecular structure, D8 produces a “clear-headed” high without the anxiety and paranoia often caused by Delta-9 THC. Shop our Delta-8 Products
