delta-8

Milder cannabis compound

Delta-8 is a cannabinoid derived from hemp, chemically similar to the delta-9 THC that produces marijuana's high but typically milder in effect.

It occupies a legal gray area in the United States—technically legal under federal hemp law but banned or restricted in some states.

Delta-8 products are sold as gummies, vapes, and tinctures: I tried delta-8 because regular weed gives me anxiety.
