What is Delta 8?
Delta 8 is a minor cannabinoid, occurring in the plant in very small concentrations and is not directly produced by cannabinoid-synthesizing enzymes within the plant. When THC is stored for a period of time, it degrades into delta 8.
What is the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9?
What we refer to as THC usually means delta 9, the main form of THC found in cannabis. Delta 8 is an analog of delta 9, a molecule with a similar structure, but some notable differences. While the two share many similar properties, such as reportedly stimulating appetite, reducing nausea, and soothing pain, delta 8 tends to exhibit a lower psychotropic potency than delta 9.
From a chemical or structural perspective, both delta 8 and delta 9 contain double bonds in their molecular chain. Delta 8 contains that bond on the 8th carbon chain, while delta 9 contains the bond on the 9th carbon chain. Although it’s a subtle difference, it has noticeable effects on how the body’s endocannabinoid receptors bind and respond to the molecule. Delta 9 is also known to be less stable than delta 8.
