The cannabis plant has been used for centuries by different cultures worldwide. It is medicinally trusted in it's various forms, and many people use it in spirituality or age-old rituals.
Probably the most familiar compound derived from the cannabis plant is Delta 9 THC. To give Delta 9 its's street names, i.e. 'pot', 'weed', 'green', 'smoke', 'grass', 'Mary Jane', many will be familiar with these terms.
However, Delta 9 is a psychoactive compound. It gives a mind-altering effect, or a 'high' as it is known. It can also give feelings of paranoia and depression, but this depends on the individual, and the amount consumed.
It is also illegal in most countries around the world, to cultivate, possess, or supply Delta 9. There are varying penalties for breaking the laws, depending where in the world you are.
In 2018 the American Farm Bill deemed that Delta 8 THC was a legal compound. Although, it has to be said that it is still somewhat of a grey area, with different countries holding different views.
The American Farm Bill says that anything derived from the hemp plant, is completely legal. First and foremost is CBD produced from hemp, which we know is completely legal. However, Delta 8 is a by-product of CBD that has been converted with specific chemicals. The result is a mildly psychoactive compound, and this is where the confusion lies.
Although mildly psychoactive, Delta 8 is said to give clarity and an alert experience. It also improves cognitive function, in addition to helping relief pain and addressing various health issues. It is in stark contrast to the psychoactive effect Delta 9 gives. The 'stoned' experience is not as profound as that of Delta 9, which seems to add to it's appeal.
