Description
Delta 8 THC is a byproduct of THC’s degradation over time.
Both compounds have a similar molecular structure with one subtle difference. Delta 8 THC is a double bond analog of delta 9, meaning its double bond is located at the 8th carbon chain instead of the 9th.
That’s why these cannabinoids have a slightly different fashion of interacting with cannabinoid receptors. Both activate the same receptors — CB1 and CB2 — assisting the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in maintaining homeostasis through regulating functions like memory, mood, reproduction, appetite, sleep, pain, and neurogenesis.
CB2 receptors are associated with physiological responses to cannabinoids, while interactions with CB1 receptors lead to a psychoactive experience known as the high.
Delta 8 THC has a lower affinity with the CB1 receptor than delta 9 THC. For that reason, it’s around half as strong as the main active compound in marijuana.
