Hey Miami, We Have Delta8

Delta 8 is taking the country by storm. Otherwise known as “D8” or “THC lite”, Delta-8 is a minor psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis sativa plant. Delta-8-THC is an analog of THC and has a similar molecular structure. Delta-8 is an isomer of delta-9 and the only difference between these two molecules is the location of a double bond between two carbons in their molecular chains.

As a result, Delta 8 binds less strongly to the body’s cannabinoid receptors. Because the binding is weaker than full on TCH, Delta 8 has less potency and varying effects.

Simply put, because Delta 8 is created using hemp-derived CBD it is a legal way of producing the intoxicating effect of THC. In fact, Delta 8 is the fastest-growing category of hemp products, according to the New York Times.

“The Farm Bill” of 2018 was passed by Congress and allows that hemp derivatives, such as cannabinoids, are legal in the US so long as they do not contain more than .3% Tetrahydrocannabinol – otherwise known as Delta 9 THC. Specifically speaking, concentrating the Delta 8-THC content in Hemp while minimizing the Delta 9-THC content – keeps the content under the legal limit.

That said, the legality of Delta 8 is still coming under debate. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), last summer, believes that synthetic cannabinoids do remain under The Controlled Substances Act:

“All synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols remain Schedule I controlled substances.”

In New York, Delta 8 is teetering on being banned and other states are following suit. In Florida, however, carrying a Medical Marijuana card allows patients to take full advantage of Delta-8. If you don’t have a card or a prescription, in Miami, “D8” is available at LifeCann MD – Florida’s top-rated medical marijuana referral clinic. Delta 8 can be purchased both in office or online without a prescription or physician recommendation.

Delta 8 provides the benefits of marijuana without the intense high or side-effects. Typically, patients experience an instant feeling of relief. It can also be used for pain management and reducing anxiety. According to the US National Library of Medicine, Delta-8 displays anxiety-reducing qualities as it delivers a calm yet focused high. Another recent study published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research found that Delta-8 helped to diminish pain and inflammation in mice.

Delta-8 can be consumed in various ways. In edible form, it produces the most intense psychoactive result. Other options include vape cartridges, tinctures, or gummies. “Moon rocks” are a type of Delta-8 comprised of smokeable, concentrated nuggets.

The added benefit of Delta8 is that there is less chance of the negative side effects that come with full on TCH – such as dry mouth. Still, it’s important to find high quality Delta 8 products as the industry is not yet regulated.
