Although delta 9 THC has been well known and widely used for centuries, delta 8 THC has rapidly gained popularity within just the last decade. Because it is a CBD derived cannabinoid, delta 8 THC remains inside of a legal grey area as the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized CBD derived products for processing and sale. Because of this, CBD processors in most states can legally create a cannabinoid that is psychoactive like delta 9 THC, but is considered to be federally legal. This has opened the door for those curious about psychoactive cannabinoids that would otherwise break the law to try delta 9 THC products in states where it is not legal. Because of this, the opportunity to create delta 8 THC products from CBD has exploded and producers are all trying to find a way to profit off of its rapid growth in popularity. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Jared Lerche sit down to discuss the rise and controversy of delta 8 THC. They compare delta 8 and delta 9, discuss how delta 8 is made and ponder the possible future of this fascinating cannabinoid.
This week we dive into one of the most controversial posts Dr. Jon has made to date..
He posted a poll asking how people feel about Delta-8. We received responses from every side of the industry. Thanks again to everyone that contributed to the conversation. It was great seeing that passion is still alive in the industry!
