Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol

Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol is a minor psychoactive cannabinoid that is similar to Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC.

Because it is typically found in low concentrations in natural cannabis and hemp plants, Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol is often manufactured synthetically in laboratories to be used as an ingredient in cannabis-based products. As well as resembling Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in chemical structure, Delta-8-THC is said to induce similar intoxicating effects.
