Will Delta-8 Get Me High?
Dec 23, 2022
Delta-8 THC, also known as delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, is a psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It is a less common cannabinoid than delta-9 THC, which is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana and the one responsible for the "high" associated with its use.
Delta-8 THC is considered to have a lower psychoactive potency than delta-9 THC, but it is still capable of producing a psychoactive effect. Some people report feeling a milder, more relaxed high from delta-8 THC compared to delta-9 THC, while others do not experience any psychoactive effects at all.
The psychoactive effects of delta-8 THC can vary depending on the individual and the amount consumed. It is possible to experience a high from delta-8 THC, but the intensity and duration of the high may be less than that produced by delta-9 THC.
There is limited research on the effects of delta-8 THC, and more research is needed to fully understand its potential therapeutic benefits and risks. However, some studies have suggested that delta-8 THC may have potential therapeutic uses, such as reducing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and as an appetite stimulant in patients with HIV/AIDS.
It is worth noting that delta-8 THC is currently not as widely available as delta-9 THC and may be more difficult to obtain. It is also important to note that the legal status of delta-8 THC varies by state and country. In the United States, delta-8 THC is not listed as a controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, but it is still illegal in some states. It is important to check the specific laws in your state or country before using delta-8 THC.
In conclusion, it is possible to experience a high from delta-8 THC, but the intensity and duration of the high may be less than that produced by delta-9 THC. More research is needed to fully understand the potential therapeutic benefits and risks of delta-8 THC, and its legal status varies by state and country.
