A legal form of THC thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill!
Delta 8 is one of the least potent of the THC variants.
Delta-8 (D8) is one form of THC within the THC family. At low doses it acts as a mild sedative and has been shown to treat symptoms of pain, insomnia, anxiety, and PTSD. Unlike other THC molecules, Delta-8 THC has shown a lower rate of paranoia in its users. However, like all THC, this is dose dependent, among other factors.
Delta 8 THC is one of at least 113 variants of THC known in the phytocannabinoid (plant) system. It occurs naturally within the hemp plant but exists only in small amounts. Through certain processes, greater quantities can be procured from the cannabis plant.
Common side-effects:

If a product is labeled full-spectrum, that means it is a photocannabinoid rich product that contains a number of cannabinoids besides CBD along with terpenes. Our Full-Spectrum carts contains Delta-8, Delta-9 (<0.3%), and Delta-10 THC.

Full-spectrum products have grown in popularity in recent years because of something known as the “entourage effect”. The entourage effect refers to the synergy achieved by all the components in cannabis. The cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance the potential benefit of the plant. Full-spectrum does include trace amounts of THC- below .3% which means the full-spectrum is non-psychoactive.
THC-O acetate, or THC-O, is a synthetic analog (or chemical twin) of THC. That means that although THC-O is indeed a cannabinoid, it’s not naturally occurring and can only be safely manufactured via contemporary cannabis tech.
A series of extractions must take place to generate THC-O. First, cannabidiol (CBD) is extracted from less than 0.3% THC hemp (made federally legal by the 2018 Farm Bill). Next, delta-8 THC is extracted from the CBD. Finally, the organic solvent acetic anhydride is administered to the delta-8 THC molecules, a process that eliminates all terpenes and flavonoids, leaving behind a flavorless, scentless, motor oil-thick THC isolate with polarizing potency.
Research, regulation and data around THC-O and its effects are scant, but researchers have concluded that THC-O is a “prodrug,” or a compound that must be metabolized to activate. Once THC-O is metabolized, what’s essentially left is a highly bioavailable variation of delta-9 THC, meaning the variation is absorbed and circulates well in the body. The bioavailability speculatively increases the potency. Which is all to say there’s at least a few somebodies out there eating THC-O getting higher than an eagle booty.
For the time being, yes, because THC-O is derived from federally legal hemp and contains less than 0.3% of delta-9 THC.
