 "The 2018 Farm Bill made all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids in hemp legal, as long as the final product has less than 0.3% Delta-9-THC. Delta-8 THC is an isomer of CBD, a derivative of hemp and CBD, a cannabinoid found in hemp, and therefore is federally legal in the United States. On a state level, however, the legality can differ."{REF}

"Delta-8 THC is one of those other dozens of cannabinoids that is not nearly as well-known nor as prominent as CBD or delta-9 THC, but is quickly gaining a foothold in the industry as more is discovered about it. A variant of THC, delta-8 is similar to delta-9, but the double bond is on the eighth carbon instead of the ninth. Delta-8 is also far less prevalent in cannabis than the dominant delta-9 THC. Unlike delta-9 THC, which in some strains can be found in percentages as high as 35%, delta-8 THC only appears in very low amounts in marijuana. In fact, it usually only makes up about 0.01% of the plant.

Researchers first identified delta-8-THC in the early 1970s and determined that the difference between delta-9 THC and delta-8 THC is the placement of a single atomic bond in the compound. Since it is present in such low levels compared with delta-9 and CBD, for example, its discovery did not receive much publicity. Some speculate that it is because a study released in 1975 noted that it inhibited tumor growth in mice - thus indicating a medical value in marijuana - that the federal government did not want that information released to the public. It's difficult to say with any certainty." {REF}

 "Yes, the above section refers to Delta-9 THC, however, Delta-8 produces these same metabolites in the body. How they get picked up by a drug test is the question, but presumably, when testing for metabolites, one can assume the test will be activated by Delta-8 as well. After all, the compounds are very similar chemically." {REF} 

"When isolated in a pure delta-8 THC extract, the minor cannabinoid found in tiny amounts has some large medicinal benefits. Delta-8 cancer treatment is where those benefits are most apparent. According to the National Cancer Institute, delta 8-THC can help with all of the below issues related to cancer and cancer treatment:

• As an antiemetic agent, it can ameliorate the nausea that is a common side effect of chemotherapy. This helps keep patients (especially children) comfortable and assists with weight management.
• As an anxiolytic, delta-8 acts to ease the anxiety that is prevalent in patients facing intense medical scenarios such as cancer without the risk of the paranoia that can come with delta-9 THC consumption. Patients report mentally uplifting yet physically relaxing sensations when given THC delta 8.
• An appetite booster is critical for many patients fighting cancer and other severe diseases that commonly cause a dramatic loss of weight and wasting. A loss of appetite is common and delta-8 has been shown to boost food cravings.
• Delta-8 THC can provide similar pain relief to that of its cousin delta-9 THC without the same mental effects. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and contains properties that can inhibit tumor growth.
• Delta-8 can also be used to treat nervous system ailments and neuropathic pain.

Does a delta-8 cancer cure exist? Several studies have indicated that its use can inhibit cancer cells in laboratory rats. More research and studies on the compound are necessary to know for certain." {REF}

 Yes. Delta-8-THC will get you high. Delta-8 THC produces a different “high” than cannabis’ main psychotropic cannabinoid delta-9 THC. Delta-8 THC gives you a clear headed high. You will experience a semi-sedative body high minus the heavy mental stimulation triggered by traditional THC. {REF}
