Posted on Nov 22, 2022 By Ian Taylor

Delta 8 has been gaining increasing popularity since 2021, however, common misconceptions frequently cast a shadow on its reputation and deter people from getting acquainted with this cannabinoid. If you’re reading this article, you certainly know that there's a lot of misinformation out there. Take a look at some of the most common Delta 8 THC facts and myths to see what you should know about it.

  • Myth #7: All THC compounds are the same

What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant. It's a psychoactive compound similar to Delta 9 THC that makes you feel high. 

It's similar to THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, but it’s less potent and has a different effect on the body.

Delta 8 THC facts and myths - what should you know?

What are the Delta 8 facts you should know? What are the myths that need to be debunked?

Myth #1: Delta 8 THC is the same as THC

Delta 8 THC is similar to THC, but it’s not the same compound. Delta 8 THC is less potent than THC and has a different effect on the body. THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, while Delta 8 THC is more of a milder psychoactive.

Myth #2: Delta 8 is illegal

You could think that since Delta 8 is a cannabis product, it’s illegal. However, nothing further from the truth. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, it’s legal to farm, produce and use hemp, provided that it contains less than 0.3% THC.

Consequently, it can be stated that Delta 8 is fully legal, as long as it’s made of hemp.

Myth #3: Delta 8 is a synthetic cannabinoid

When talking about Delta 8 facts, it’s crucial to mention that it’s not a synthetic cannabinoid. As it’s been already mentioned, it’s a naturally-occurring cannabinoid that can be found in the cannabis plant.

So, even though it’s frequently produced in labs, it’s worth keeping in mind that this only speeds up the natural processes, thanks to creating an environment that is fully friendly and tailored to the plant.

Myth #4: Delta 8 won't make you fail the drug test

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. Delta 8 can make you fail a drug test as it’s similar to THC. However, it all depends on the sensitivity of the drug test. Some of them may not be able to detect Delta 8, while others will. Of course, it also depends on the amount of consumed or smoked cannabinoids.

If you’re worried about failing a drug test, it’s best to abstain from using Delta 8 products for about 30 days.

Myth #5: Delta 8 is completely safe

Even though Delta 8 is considered to be much safer than THC, it’s still a psychoactive compound, and as such, it may not be completely suitable for everyone. Some people may experience side effects such as anxiety, paranoia, or dizziness.

It’s worth noting that Delta 8 is more likely to cause side effects in people who are inexperienced with cannabis or those who are taking other medications. If you’re unsure whether Delta 8 is right for you, it’s best to consult your doctor first.

Myth #6: Delta 8 is dangerous

Athough this cannabinoid isn’t completely safe, when talking about Delta 8 THC facts, it needs to be mentioned that it’s not dangerous per se neither.

As it’s been mentioned, Delta 8 is less potent than THC, so it’s less likely to cause side effects and you need more of it to experience its effects.

Myth #7: All THC compounds are the same

This is certainly not true as THC is a diverse group that includes different compounds having various effects on the body.

Now that you know more about Delta 8 THC facts and myths, you can make a more informed decision about whether this cannabinoid is right for you.

style="font-size: medium;"The takeaway

To sum up, these are some of the most common Delta 8 THC facts and myths. As you can see, Delta 8 is a naturally-occurring cannabinoid that can be legal and isn’t as potent as THC. However, it’s still a psychoactive compound, so it’s not suitable for everyone. If you’re unsure whether Delta 8 is right for you, it’s best to consult your doctor first or start with really small amounts.
