Delta 8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products are currently making massive waves in the cannabis market. Delta 8 flower, Delta 8 oil, Delta 8 vapes & cartridges, Delta 8 hash, Delta 8 edibles, Delta 8 shake, and much more are available to buy online in the UK and Ireland easily.
Delta 8 THC isn't a new cannabinoid, but it's appearance online is. It is only recently that Delta 8 has been recognised as a legal compound, as a result, demand and sales are steadily growing.
In 2018 the American Farm Bill deemed that anything derived from the hemp plant should be classed as legal.
CBD (cannabidiol) is derived from hemp, and Delta 8 THC is made by converting CBD with specific chemicals. Although technically Delta 8 is a product of CBD, there remains confusion and controversy over it's legality. The concern arises from the mildly psychoactive component of the Delta 8 cannabinoid.
Usually, when we think of psycho-activity in cannabinoids, we think of Delta 9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), Delta 8's famous cousin. Delta 9, is of course the robustly psychoactive cannabinoid from the cannabis plant. It is a mind-altering compound that is illegal in most countries. Delta 9 is often referred to as 'pot', 'grass', 'weed', 'green', 'smoke', 'dope', and other street names.
Delta 9 THC has been used for centuries for healing and addressing health issues. These days, although not widespread, it is prescribed for exceptional health conditions under controlled rules and regulations globally.
However, using Delta 9 can give a 'stoned' effect, meaning co-ordination slows down along with brain function. It imparts a deep relaxed state which makes day-to-day functions difficult to carry out.
The effects of Delta 8, however, are contrasting in relation to Delta 9. Delta 8 has shown that it improves not only cognitive function, but can raise awareness and enable focus.
Just some of the physical and mental health issues Delta 8 can address are :
-
pain relief from various ailments
-
it can manage feelings of nausea
-
promotes good sleeping patterns
-
addresses anxiety
-
improves appetite
It is no wonder Delta 8 THC has caused a stir within the cannabis market. Being able to address pain and general wellbeing in a legal way, is very desirable for those who currently favour Delta 9.
Among many of the Delta 8 products available online, is Delta 8 shake. Shake is the smaller pieces of big flower bud and plant, without stalk, ground down to make a versatile product that can be smoked or ingested.
Shake is often the cheaper option than buying large or small flower buds. It's an ideal choice for those on a small budget. It's already ground down, so is very convenient to use.
There are many reputable suppliers of Delta 8 online. It is usual to receive a laboratory analysis with any products purchased. The information on the analysis will show levels of THC, i.e. <0.2%, (or <0.3% is acceptable in some countries), for it to be legal, along with other useful information.
