What is Delta-8?
You’ve probably heard some buzz about Delta-8, Delta-9. Some people are wondering if it’s THC? Is it CBD?
Well, the Cannabis plant consists of hundreds of cannabinoids with diverse therapeutic properties. It can be confusing to tell the difference but Prime Sunshine is here to make sense of it. Some of the more well-known cannabinoids include:
CBD
Delta-9 THC (“mainstream cannabis”)
Delta-8 THC
One of the rising stars in the cannabinoid world is Delta-8.
The hemp community sings praises of its uplifting, clarifying, relaxing, anti-nausea properties. The list just keeps growing.
Some people prefer it over traditional Delta-9 THC due to is psychoactive, all-encompassing effects with less unwanted side effects (such as dizziness or paranoia). Delta-8 is still being researched, but early studies and anecdotal evidence are driving forward an astounding market evolution. Prime Sunshine recommends consulting with your physician regarding any treatment options.
Delta-8 is formed when delta-9 THC becomes oxidized and converts into an isomer. In the CBD hemp flower, Delta-8 is found in low concentrations of <0.1% and can be extracted using other cannabinoids and produced for use in various forms.
IS DELTA-8 CBD?
Delta-8 and CBD both bind to the nervous system’s CB-1 cannabinoid receptors, but because Delta-8 has a different molecular structure, Delta-8 reacts differently than THC.
Delta-8 users describe anti-anxiety benefits, clear-headedness, and alertness. It can provide more intense, tangible effects than CBD.
DOES DELTA-8 GET YOU HIGH?
Delta-8 can produce similar effects to THC, but it is known for having less unwanted side effects such as paranoia. Users describe it as THC without the “negative edge”.
DELTA-8 VS. DELTA-9
Delta-8 THC, a double-bond isomer of Delta-9 THC, has been shown to produce similar beneficial and psychoactive effects as Delta-9, but with much fewer unwanted psychotropic side effects such as dizziness, confusion, and paranoia.
BENEFITS OF DELTA-8
Delta-8 is being researched and explored intensely, as its therapeutic properties and combination of effects are providing great value to individuals and the scientific world. The benefits of Delta-8 are countless, but Prime Sunshine’s customers use Delta-8 to relieve a variety of symptoms and conditions.
Primarily, people looking for the full-scale THC experience without any jittery, unwanted psychoactive side effects can find Delta-8 to be a good choice for them to treat:
Delta-8 is the ideal choice for those suffering from sleep issues. When traditional sleeping pills don’t cut it or cause excessive grogginess the day after, Delta-8 can be a great choice to optimize sleep naturally. We recommend combining Delta-8 with our CBD Sleep Gummies to ease into your nights.
Pain
Delta-8 has been demonstrated by the Cannabinoid and Cannabis Research journal to reduce inflammation and pain, specifically in topicals as well as other delivery methods.
Cancer
Delta-8 THC is being explored by researchers including the National Cancer Institute as one of the cannabinoids that can actually inhibit tumor growth. In one study, Delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and cannabinol (CBN) were found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. More commonly, we hear cancer patients turn to Delta-8 to ease oncological treatment symptoms. We always recommend consulting with a physician before starting new treatments.
Nausea
Delta-8 THC was found to reduce vomiting in children and relieve nausea. Anecdotal evidence shows adults are receiving the same therapeutic value from Delta-8.
Appetite Stimulation
Delta-8 is used to stimulate appetite. Paired with its antiemetic (anti-nausea) properties, Delta-8 THC can be a good treatment option for cancer patients or other individuals suffering from appetite disruptions.
While Delta-8 is known to reduce many of the side effects found with THC or Delta-9, caution is still advised as it can have strong effects, some of which are psychoactive.
