What are Delta 8 Pre Rolls?
- Products containing delta-8-THC became widely available in most of the USA following the 2018 Farm Bill.
- Delta-8-THC is an isomer or a chemical analog of delta-9-THC, the molecule that produces the experience of being high when ingesting cannabis.
- Delta 8 THC differs in the molecular structure from delta 9 THC in location of a double bond between carbon atoms 8 and 9 rather than carbon atoms 9 and 10.
- Due to its altered structure, delta 8 THC has a lower affinity for CB1 receptor and therefore has lower psychotropic potency than delta 9 THC.
- Delta 8 THC is found naturally in Cannabis, though at substantially lower concentrations than delta 9 THCA.
