Delta 8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a relative newcomer in the cannabis market. However, you can buy Delta 8 flower, Delta 8 golden kief, Delta 8 oil, Delta 8 hash, Delta 8 vapes and cartridges in the UK and Ireland online now.
Delta 8 is creating quite a stir, as it's not only mildly psychoactive, but it is also legal. However, the question of legality is somewhat of a grey area. This is due to the fact that Delta 8 is a by-product of CBD (cannabidiol). As we know, CBD is non-psychoactive, safe and legal to use. It is also non-addictive, and can help with a wide spectrum of physical and mental health conditions.
In 2018 the American Farm Bill deemed that anything derived from the hemp plant was legal. Therefore, CBD which is derived from hemp, is legal and widely used across the globe. However, Delta 8 is actually CBD, but it has been converted with specific chemicals, so we could say technically it's CBD, but there are many who beg to differ.
Research and studies into Delta 8 THC have revealed that although it is mildly psychoactive, it actually improves cognitive function. It also helps the mind focus and is reported to give clarity. It is a healing compound that can relax the body and promote wellbeing.
If we compare Delta 8 with Delta 9 THC, there is quite a significant difference. Delta 9 THC, or as it is sometimes called, 'pot', 'grass', 'dope', 'green', and it goes by many other street names, is robustly psychoactive. Delta 9 is also illegal in many countries, with varying degrees of punishment for use, cultivation or supply.
Delta 9 can cause paranoia and depression, and is said to be strongly psychoactive and mind-altering. This is where the term 'stoned' originates from. Using Delta 9 can impart deep relaxation, lethargy, and also slows co-ordination and reaction times right down.
You can buy Delta 8 products, such as, edibles, kief, hash, shake, oil, flower, vapes, cartridges, oil, and much more now online in the UK and Ireland.
Delta 8 golden kief is a versatile product that can be used to make hash amongst other things. The hemp plant is covered in resinous glands which are called trichomes, and these trichomes contain cannabinoids such as, THC, CBD, and natural terpenes. The trichomes under a microscope have the appearance of tiny glass mushrooms. Eventually when these trichomes dry, they break off the plant, and this becomes kief.
Kief has a sticky, powdery consistency, and is perfect for making hash. It can range from a golden colour to brown. However, the light golden colour will indicate that it is purer and cleaner than the darker alternative.
In addition to making hash, kief can be used in edibles, for instance, when making canna butter. It can also be used for smoking to add another dimension to the experience.
A good supplier of golden kief will always provide laboratory certification with each product. The information on the certificate will show the levels of different cannabinoids, and other useful data.
