If we are talking about delta-8 then we can say that, delta 8 it is the product of plants which are present in very small quantities. TCH present in delta-8 is tainted amount. Delta-8 is not a byproduct of cannabinoid. Rather we can say that THC is kept in plant for a very short time.
After sometime when the plat has stored enough THC for a designated amount of time, then THC is degraded to delta-8-THC. Delta-8-THC is produced on commercial scale by using the techniques of selective breeding.
Delta-8-THC is also extracted to be used in smoking; if you want to smoke Delta-8-THC A Vape Pen is used. To enjoy the smoke Delta-8-THC perfectly you need to use a Vaping Pen.
What is classified as Delta-8-THC?
Delta-8 is not the strongest form of THC. Pure form of THC causes devastating effects on the brain. The purest form of THC is Cannabis Delta-9, we are talking about Delta-9-THC which is known to be a analog to delta 9. The structural formulas of both these chemicals are similar.
Having similar formula does not mean the similarity of effects. Some similarities are described in the article which are, stimulating appetite, and soothing pain. In a nutshell we can say that THC can indeed make you high and its purest form is illegal in most countries around the world.
Is Delta-8-THC cannabinoid?
There are many types of cannabinoids, if we were to talk about the present day, there are more than 100 types of cannabinoids that are discovered. In today’s world we have a wide understanding of the working and the effects of the main cannabinoid know as delta-9-THC.
Having said that, we only know very little about other form of cannabinoids. Like mentioned above the quantity of delta-8 is present in a very minute quantity in cannabinoid plant. THC is only made when the degrading happens inside a plant.
The Effects of Delta-8 with Endocannabinoid system?
Delta-8 can react with CB1 Receptor cells present in the CNS. It has special binding properties that can bind with CB2 receptors as well, but this case Is very less likely to happen, we do not know the complete binding effects of these chemicals, and to know more about these further study is required.
Researchers are working round the clock to find more about the effects of these bindings.
Delta-8 as compared to delta-9
The structure and chemical formula of both delta-8 and delta-9 is quite similar, however If we look at the chemical bonding of both the chemicals then we will find that location of bonds of both chemicals are quite different from one another.
If we were to talk about the molecular formula than we have to say that the present of double bonds in both delta-8 and delta-9 determines their properties. In delta-8 double bonds are present in the 8th atom of carbon. While delta-9 have double bonds in their 9th atom of carbon
Although one can argue this is not a very big difference but the effects of this on human body is quite evident. To generate a response the chemical binds with the receptors. The stability factor is also taken into account when talking about changes between them.
Delta-9 is less stable as compared to delta-8. Oxidation of delta-9 does not results in the production of cannabionol. For its stability factor delta-8 can be used in medical processes. As delta-8 is medically proved to be less strong then delta-9
Uses in medical products
Delta-8 have many therapeutic effects, and great number of studies are done on this to prove its effects. The benefits of using delta-8 are endless.
