What Is Delta 8? - More Than What The Streets Are Saying

Hello, fellow Siesta G’s! We wanted to put this article out there because the Delta 8 game is new, and we wanted to keep you appropriately informed!

What Is Delta 8

So, what is Delta 8 THC? I’m sure you all have heard the name around your town. It's been quite popular as of late.  Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis plant. It is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the cannabis plant and produces psychoactive effects.

Delta 8 is a naturally occurring chemical compound that's similar in structure to Delta 9 THC, the main psychoactive compound in hemp plants. Delt8 is an isomer of Delta9, which means it has the same number of atoms arranged differently. And is found in smaller quantities in cannabis than Delta 9 and produces a milder high. Other common THC side effects like paranoia, anxiety, and drowsiness are also less potent. The growing demand for Delta 8 may be due to its less intense side effects and potential medical benefits that have been researched in the past few years.

Where Did Delta 8 Originate From?

Cannabis breeders and Cannabis geneticists are responsible for the new strains of Delta 8 popping up everywhere. Since the popular demand for this plant and the public's growing knowledge of its health benefits, the industry has taken off! In the early 2000s, a legendary Cannabis researcher unlocked a method for converting CBD, a naturally abundant cannabinoid present in most Cannabis strains, into Delta-8-THC.  That’s right; since Delta-8 doesn’t naturally occur in large quantities in any cannabis strains, manufacturers went another route. This new way of making Delta-8 and the legalization of hemp opened up a Pandora's Box of possibilities for the ever-growing Cannabis industry and marked the beginning of Delta-8's meteoric rise in popularity.

The Extraction Process

So how exactly do these geniuses do this, you may be wondering?  Well, let me tell you!  Delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid that's derived from CBD through a process called Isomerization. For more on isomerization please click here[Insert Isomerization Blog]. In Isomerization, the molecules of one compound are rearranged to convert them into another compound. For Delta 8, this means taking CBD and rearranging its molecules to create Delta 8 THC. Delta 8 THC is then refined into a product called Delta 8 THC distillate, which is Delta 8 THC that's been distilled until only Delta 8 THC remains.

Isomerization is a term used to describe the conversion of a molecule into a different isomer of the same molecule. In the case of CBD, isomerization is the process of converting CBD into its Delta8 form. CBD and Delta8 are both cannabinoids, meaning they are molecules found in the cannabis plant. CBD is known for its relaxing properties, while Delta8 is known for its psychoactive properties. In other words, CBD will not get you high, but Delta8 will. Isomerization simply converts one type of cannabinoid into another. 

CBD and Delta8 have the same chemical formula, but their molecular structure is slightly different. CBD has a double bond at the ninth carbon chain, while Delta8 has a double bond at the eighth carbon chain. During isomerization, the position of this double bond is shifted from the ninth carbon chain to the eighth carbon chain. This simple change in molecular structure alters the properties of CBD, turning it into Delta8. 

While CBD and Delta 8 THC are both derived from cannabis, they have different effects on the human body. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not produce a high. Delta8, however, has psychoactive effects and can produce a high when consumed. Isomerization simply allows for converting one cannabinoid into another — it does not create new cannabinoids or alter their effects on the human body.

What Are The Benefits of Delta-8-THC?

Delta8 offers all the benefits of other cannabinoids with some key differences that make it unique. One of the properties of Delta 8 is its psychoactive properties so you will feel uplifted and elevated mentally. (You can expect to feel high) And many of our G’s have also felt benefits such as reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Our G’s have also mentioned that it’s been effective in treating pain and nausea caused by chemotherapy and other medical treatments. 

Delta 8 is a cannabinoid that is similar to Delta 9 THC, the active ingredient in the hemp plant. Delta 8 THC has many of the same properties as Delta 9 THC, including the ability to relieve pain, reduce anxiety, and improve appetite. However, Delta 8 is less psychoactive than Delta 9 THC, making it a safer option for those who want to experience the benefits of THC without the risk of becoming intoxicated. Delta 8 THC is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective treatment for conditions like arthritis and Crohn's disease. Delta 8 THC is legal in most states, and it is available in a variety of forms, including tinctures, edibles, and vape cartridges. Delta 8 THC can be a helpful addition to your wellness routine, providing you with many of the same benefits as Delta 9 THC without the risks associated with marijuana use. Talk to your doctor and ask for your doctor's advice about whether Delta 8 is suitable for you.

Does Delta 8 Produce Psychoactive Effects? In Short, Will It Make You High?

Delta 8 THC is a potent cannabinoid that can provide users with a range of psychoactive effects. These effects can include increased relaxation, decreased anxiety, and improved mood. Delta 8 is also known to produce milder effects and lighter visual and auditory hallucinations than its more well-known counterpart, Delta 9 THC. For these reasons, Delta 8 THC is becoming increasingly popular as a recreational drug. Delta 8 is also being studied for its potential medical benefits, which include pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. Delta 8 is legal in most states in the US, but it is important to check your local laws before purchasing or consuming this cannabinoid.

Delta 8 psychoactive effects are caused by its interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). Delta 8 binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are found throughout the body. These receptors are responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including mood, appetite, and pain sensation. When Delta 8 binds to these receptors, it alters their function and can produce a range of psychoactive effects.

Delta 8 is also known to interact with the serotonin and GABA receptors. These interactions can produce additional effects, such as increased relaxation and decreased anxiety. Delta 8 is a potent cannabinoid, and its effects can be felt at lower doses than Delta 9 THC. For this reason, Delta 8 is becoming increasingly popular.

What Is Delta 8 Flower?

Delta-8-THC flower is just hemp flower that has Delta-8 added to it. The result is the same—a cannabis flower that can be smoked to experience the benefits of Delta-8. But how does a non-psychoactive hemp flower get to that point? Delta 8 is a cannabinoid that is found in both hemp and cannabis plants. However, it is only present in small amounts. To create the Delta-8-THC flower, Delta 8 is extracted from the plant material and then added back into the hemp flower. The benefit of this process is that it allows for a high concentration of Delta 8, which can provide a more potent experience. 

What's The Difference Between Delta 8 And Delta 9?

Delta 8 and Delta 9 are both cannabinoids, meaning they are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. Delta 8 is an isomer of Delta 9, which means it has a similar structure but a different arrangement of atoms. Delta 8 is found in smaller quantities in cannabis plants than Delta 9, and it is also less potent. However, Delta 8 has been shown to have some potential therapeutic benefits, including reducing anxiety and inflammation. Delta 8 is also said to produce a more mellow high than Delta 9, making it a popular choice for those who want to avoid the paranoia or anxiety that can sometimes be associated with THC. Because Delta 8 is less well-known than Delta 9 (which has higher amounts of THC), it is often considered to be a "newer" cannabinoid. However, Delta 8 has been around for many years; it just hasn't been as widely studied or understood as Delta 9. With the legalization of hemp-derived products in the United States, though, interest in Delta 8 is beginning to grow, and we are likely to see more research on this fascinating cannabinoid in the years to come. We here at Siesta G love this plant so much and can't wait to share our products and knowledge with all those other cannabis-loving G's out there!

Is Delta 8 Legal?

The simple answer is yes Delta 8 is legal. Delta 8 is a group of closely related compounds which include cannabinol and the active constituents in cannabis, in the hemp plant, and is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill Act. Delta 8 can be derived from both hemp-derived CBD and marijuana-derived CBD, but it is most commonly found in hemp.

While Delta 8 is federally legal, some states have laws regarding Delta 9 THC and cannabinoids. It's important to check your local laws before purchasing or consuming Delta 8 products.

Some Delta 8 products may contain trace amounts of Delta 9 THC, which is the psychoactive component of marijuana that gets you "high". Delta 9 THC is still federally illegal under the Controlled Substances Act. However, the amount of Delta 9 THC in Delta 8 products is so low that it is not psychoactive and will not show up on most drug tests.

Delta 8 is a relatively new product on the market and more research is needed to determine its long-term effects. However, early studies suggest that Delta 8 may have potential therapeutic benefits such as reducing anxiety, pain relief, and improving appetite.

If you're looking for a legal way to experience the benefits of CBD without the psychoactive effects of Delta 9 THC, Delta 8 could be a good option for you. Just make sure to check your local laws before purchasing or consuming Delta 8 products.

Is Delta 8 Safe?

Is Delta 8 safe? That's a question that's on a lot of people's minds these days. Delta 8 is a cannabinoid that's similar to THC, but it's much less potent. In fact, Delta 8 only binds to CB1 receptors at about half the affinity of THC. That means that it produces less psychoactive effects, making it a popular choice for those looking for a milder high. But what about Delta 8's safety?

There is some evidence to suggest that Delta 8 may have anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the research on this is still in its early stages. Some people also report feeling more relaxed and calm after taking Delta 8, although it's unclear whether this is due to the cannabinoid itself or the fact that it produces less of a high THC. Overall, Delta 8 seems to be reasonably safe, although more study is needed to confirm this.

Will You Test Positive On A Drug Test If You Take Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a compound found in hemp plants. It's similar to Delta 9 THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis, but it's much less potent, so in short, the answer is possible, yes.

Delta-8 is the chemical name for Delta-THC, which is what drug tests are looking for when testing for THC. Delta-8 can be found in both marijuana and hemp plants. However, if you are taking a Delta-8 supplement or product, it's possible that you could test positive. Delta 8 THC is also federally legal, as it's derived from hemp plants with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC. So, what does this all mean for drug tests? Well, Delta 8 will not show up on a standard drug test for Delta 9 THC. However, certain types of tests can detect Delta 8 THC. Therefore, if you're taking Delta 8 products and you're subject to drug testing, it's important to be aware that there is a possibility that Delta 8 could show up on the test.
