Is Delta 8 Synthetic or Natural?

Posted on Oct 24, 2022 By Ian Taylor

In the past few years, the cannabis market was shaken and turned upside down because of the new players that had joined the game. We have learned that cannabis is not only well-known and loved Delta 9, but also Delta 8, Delta 10, and even THC-O. There are many things we don’t know yet, but as far as we’re concerned, various new THCs on the market are doing just fine. 

Delta 8 THC is one of them - it’s been warmly welcomed by the community. One of the most common questions regarding this substance is whether is Delta-8 real or synthetic? How is it sourced and produced? Let’s dive into the topic - and we mean the dive part because it’s rather a long story!

Table of contents:

  • Is Delta 8 synthetic? What do you need to know about this substance?
  • Is Delta 8 natural or synthetic?
  • How is Delta 8 processed? Is Delta 8 natural?

 

Is Delta 8 synthetic? What do you need to know about this substance?

Let’s start by defining what Delta 8 is. How is this substance different from its cousin, Delta 9 THC? What do we know about it so far? Where does it come from? Is Delta-8 synthetic?

Delta 8 is a unique chemical compound found in cannabis. It may not be one of the most common cannabinoids (its amount in the plant is relatively small), but it’s definitely one of the most popular. Despite the low concentrations of Delta 8 THC that can be found in the cannabis plant, the researchers and manufacturers have come up with a way to extract, isolate and refine it in order to achieve regular, potent products. However, it’s worth mentioning that due to this complex process Delta 8 can be more expensive than - for example - Delta 9 THC.

Delta-8 THC has psychoactive effects similar to those you can experience intaking Delta-9. Delta 8 is, however, known to be less potent and, therefore, more suitable for beginners. 

 

Is Delta 8 natural or synthetic?

Okay, you already know that it is somehow processed. But what does it mean? Is Delta 8 synthetic or just processed in a certain way from all-natural ingredients?

In short, Delta 8 THC is, in fact, a natural compound that can be found in marijuana and hemp plants. As such, it can be considered a natural, not synthetic, cannabinoid.

You must know that in cannabis plants, there are more than a hundred cannabinoids, fascinating substances that interfere with the human cannabinoid system. They can produce certain psychedelic effects but also help reduce inflammation or improve sleep. One of the cannabinoids is Delta-8 THC - it’s important to note, however, that the amounts of Delta 8 in the cannabis plant are not significant. On the other hand, cannabis’ close cousin, the hemp plant, has a much greater concentration of this substance. Therefore, Delta-8 THC you can find in products on the market, in most cases, originates from hemp plants, specifically from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). 

So what about then? Is delta 8 natural or synthetic when derived from CBD? After being processed like this, it can be considered artificial. However, we would instead call it processed.

is delta 8 natural or synthetic

 

How is Delta 8 processed? Is Delta 8 natural?

Delta 8 THC is usually received in the process of extracting cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp plants. Then, it’s converted into Delta 8 THC in an acid reaction. This way, manufacturers can get a higher amount of Delta 8, making it more affordable for customers. 

Remember to make sure that Delta 8 you’re going to intake is processed safely, without harmful chemicals. That’s why choosing a manufacturer you can trust is crucial. We’re brave enough to believe that Puff Xtrax is one of them. If you want to know more, check out our About us section.
