CANNANNEW REPORT

Researchers from two universities have joined together to explore the potential uses of Delta-8 THC. People who use the cannabinoid, which has quickly grown in popularity, say it delivers the benefits of cannabis but with a milder psychoactive component. Researchers at the University of Buffalo and University of Michigan started their study into Delta-8 THC with a survey of 500 people who use Delta-8 THC. They reported that Delta-8 THC is milder than Delta-9 THC, which is the active ingredient in "traditional" cannabis that causes the high. In a release about the survey, researchers wrote:  "The words of one user best describe the overarching views shared by survey participants: that Delta-8 THC is like Delta-9's "nicer younger sibling" because it provides all the benefits with fewer adverse reactions." What Is Delta-8 THC? Derived from hemp, Delta-8 THC occurs naturally when Delta-9 THC degrades over time. Delta-8 can still provide a high, but when it does, it is considered much milder than what people experience with Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 also has been connected with many health benefits. Many report experiencing fewer side effects with Delta-8, including lesser chances of paranoia or a too-intense high. The university researchers note that Delta-8 is about half as potent as Delta-9 THC. Plants naturally produce small amounts of Delta-8. It typically is processed from a concentrate, which is why most people use Delta-8 THC by eating gummies, brownies and other edibles, or by vaping. Researchers Believe Some Lawmakers Misunderstand Delta-8 THC The university researchers said laws prohibiting the use of Delta-8 seem to ignore the fact it is less potent than traditional, Delta-9. Fears about Delta-8 seem misplaced, they said. Daniel J. Kruger, PhD, a research investigator in the Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan, said in the release that more states have…
