According to the National Cancer Institute, Δ-8 THC is “An analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. [Delta-8-THC] binds to the cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptor CB1, located in the central nervous system…This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than [delta-9-THC], the primary form of THC found in cannabis.”
Many cannabis users find Delta-8 THC to be a semi-sedative physical sensation without the overwhelming mental stimulation of Delta-9 THC, resulting in a smoother, much milder experience.
In terms of the molecular structure, Delta-8 THC is very similar to Delta-9 THC, the THC in marijuana and widely used in the United States for both recreational and medicinal benefits.
