What Is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 THC (D8) is a compound that is naturally present in hemp plants. It is similar to cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) since it is a cannabinoid-isomer. In other words, it may have properties similar to CBD, but small differences in chemical structure make a big difference for D8.
Understanding how D8 THC is made can help you feel more knowledgeable about how it relates to CBD. The image below gives a great overview of the process.
Delta 8 THC can be extracted from hemp plants, but only in very small amounts. Luckily, CBD can be converted into D8 THC using a variety of different methods.
