The naturally produced hallucinogenic substance delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, sometimes known as delta-8 THC, is present in the marijuana plant. The main psychoactive component of cannabis, delta 9 or THC, has a molecular structure that is comparable to that of the Delta 8 cannabinoid. The only distinguishing feature of their chemical structures is that delta 8 contains a double-bonded eighth carbon atom, whereas delta 9 has a double-bonded ninth carbon atom.

The main feature of delta 8 is that, while it still offers a psychedelic experience similar to delta 9, there is a significantly lower chance of experiencing paranoia and anxiety. Users of Delta 8 can get high without becoming entirely drowsy as is frequently the case with conventional THC because the high is modest and very controllable. This allows the possibility of taking small doses to get the mind into a focused state. Delta 8 is commonly known as "diet weed." Regardless, it has very comparable characteristics to delta 9 but is less potent. Its effects include:

• Anxiety-reducing effects, calmness, tranquility, and peace of mind.
• Chronic pain management
• Boosted creativity for artistic activities
• Increased focus and productivity in working environments

With this in mind, there's also care to be had. The fact that it is a milder alternative to the usual Delta 9 THC, doesn't mean it can't generate big psychoactive effects. Therefore, it also demands respect and care regarding the addictive and intoxicating effects.

What are the Delta 8 methods of consumption?

Now, there are several ways of consuming Delta 8, and each has its pros and cons. Since this molecule is found in low concentrations in the plant, to properly consume it, it has to be extracted. And these extractions are usually offered in two different ways of consumption:

1. Edibles: Edibles like gummies, brownies, or cookies are a very therapeutic way of consumption. Since the edibles' effects last for longer, they usually help with chronic pain management, anxiety reduction, and sustaining the mind for ample periods of time. They also don't tend to create the usual side effects like dry eyes, dry mouth, or anxiety. The main issue is that, as they do not act immediately, an inexperienced user may overtake and get an undesired level of intoxication.
2. Vapes: These devices offer a quick and reliable way to access the medical benefits of Delta 8 without having to wait for the effects to kick in. They are portable, easy to carry, don't leave any smell, and offer great control because of the quick onset. The main issue with these is the fact that people may not be accustomed to vapor consumption, so it may have a learning curve. Also, vapes can create more side effects like dry mouth and anxious feelings because of the quicker and more intense onset.
