What is Delta 8?
Delta 8 is only ONE of MANY cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. It occurs naturally in cannabis in small quantities and is one of around 10 tetrahydrocannabinol compounds. You may be familiar with Delta 9 THC (D9). D9 is the popular component in cannabis which is psychoactive, gets you high, causing euphoria, relaxation, pain relief and more.
Delta 8 is less psychoactive than D9 but does not occur a sufficient levels in the plant to be successfully extract and sold. Since CBD & THC are extremely close cousins chemically, it does not take a lot to change CBD to THC. It be legal Delta 8 must be derived from hemp.
The process:
The process by which most manufactures create Delta 8 is called a isomerization. Wikipedia: In chemistry isomerization is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangement e.g. A-B-C → B-A-C.
Essentially, manufacturers take CBD add other chemicals, through pressure, heat and filter it to get to the end product Delta 8.
Is it safe?
We do not sell it. We choose WHOLE PLANT EXTRACTS which are derived using ZERO petrochemicals. It is our premise one never removes 100% of any chemical which has been added to a refining process. It is always detectable if you have sensitive enough equipment.
