Delta 8 THC is an isomer of CBD, a derivative of hemp and CBD, a cannabinoid found in hemp, and is ultimately contained in our extracts with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC.
Research has shown that it works in similar ways to CBD and THC, binding to the CB1 and CB2 endocannabinoid receptors in the human body. What are these receptors, you ask? Well, they determine how a user reacts to cannabinoids.
Is it legal?
When you buy Delta 8 THC from a retailer like Superstrain, rest assured it is legal to take and not considered a controlled substance.
The reason: Delta 8 in this hemp oil has been sourced from hemp instead of marijuana. In 2018, the Farm Bill was passed stating that cannabinoids, derivatives, isomers, and extracts that came from the hemp plant were hemp and therefore not a controlled substance.
The only problem with this is that hemp cultivators cannot get enough raw Delta 8 from the hemp plant to make it an economically sustainable item for commercial use. However, they can convert CBD into Delta 8 THC. By converting CBD to Delta 8, cultivators can produce enough to make it cost-effective to sell commercially. Which now raises the question: is Delta 8 derived from CBD legal?
Delta 8 THC is derived from Hemp CBD is still considered Hemp and legal: Again, to answer this question, let’s look at the Farm Bill to see if hemp CBD-derived Delta 8 THC meets the definition of a hemp derivative. If we look at the wording of the bill, the definition of ‘hemp’ includes the entire plant and all of the cannabinoids it produces. The bill doesn’t distinguish the plant from its parts. Hemp makes CBD, which means that CBD is also hemp. And hemp is not a controlled substance. So, the answer to the question above is yes.
The Benefits of Delta 8 THC:
Delta 8 has many health and wellness benefits. It helps the brain regulate neuronal messages and decrease memory loss. It acts as an appetite stimulant and helps with pain relief. It is also good for stabilizing moods, such as anxiety and depression, without the disorienting effects found in other cannabinoids. Users of Delta 8 THC won’t get the high found in marijuana, but they will experience the same calming effect.
