What’s New from the World of Cannabis

What’s Delta-8? What you ought to know.

Discussing cannabis, you’ll likely run into the names, Delta-8 and Delta-9. Here’s some information about them.
Delta-8, Delta-9 and Delta-10 are different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. The cannabinoids bring different qualities that you’ll experience from cannabis products.
Delta-9 is the well-known cannabinoid that is potent with THC. It’s responsible for the “high” feeling you get from classic cannabis use.

So, what is Delta-8, and Delta-10 THC?
Delta-8 THC is found in the plant in much smaller amounts than Delta-9.
It’s less potent than Delta-9 THC. You can find it in some CBD products. The benefits include pain relief, reduced inflammation, and improved sleep.
Delta-10 is similar to Delta-8, as a milder cannabinoid than Delta-9. The effect can be mildly energizing and enjoyable.
It’s important to know that Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC is still classified as marijuana, and federally illegal. You’ll want to check your state laws on the legal status of these trending cannabinoids.
