Delta-8 THC vs. Delta-9 THC: How Do They Compare?

 

 

Delta-9 THC is the cannabis plant's main naturally occurring psychoactive component. A "high" is often experienced when someone smokes or takes delta 9 THC above a particular threshold. Delta-9 THC products are available in a variety of forms in places where it is legal. Some producers offer delta 9 THC products as being capable of treating or alleviating symptoms of specific medical ailments or disorders. However, only two synthetic THC formulations have been approved by the FDA: dronabinol and nabilone; Nabilone is also used to stimulate appetite in AIDS patients.

 

Potential Advantages

 

Potential advantages of eating delta-9 THC include:

 

 

1.      Relaxation

 

2.      Reduced anxiety

 

3.      Appetite stimulation

 

4.      Exhilarating or happy feelings

 

5.      increased imagination

 

6.      enhanced sensory perception

 

 

According to Dr. Gordon, research suggests that using delta-9 THC may have therapeutic benefits for certain conditions such as  "While we don't have conclusive evidence that delta-9 THC or other cannabinoids are the direct cause of the effects, patients in structured medical cannabis programs consistently demonstrate benefits in the illnesses listed above." "Benefits have also been shown in persons suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), neurodegenerative disorders, seizures, autism, and autoimmune diseases, to mention a few."

 

Long-term delta-9 THC use and its effects on sleep have received little attention, with some research claiming that it improves sleep patterns and others indicating that it has the opposite effect, interrupting sleep and delaying sleep onset.

 

Potential Hazards

 

Adverse side effects may occur depending on a variety of conditions, including the amount and quality of delta-9 THC taken.

 

 

1.      Paranoia

 

2.      Anxiety has increased.

 

3.      Sedation

 

4.      Confusion

 

5.      Mouth dryness

 

6.      Uneasy, unhappy, or dissatisfied feelings (dysphoria)

 

7.      Blood pressure is too low (hypotension)

 

A growing number of case reports describe long-term delta-9 THC users experiencing repeated nausea, severe vomiting, dehydration, and abdominal discomfort. Using delta-9 THC has also been related to an increased risk of psychosis, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric diseases, as well as substance abuse problems.

Can Delta-8 be detected in a drug test?

 

Unlike delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC is unlikely to result in a positive THC test result unless the test explicitly searches for delta-8 THC metabolites. A drug test for THC may be positive if the delta-8 texas THC product contains quantities of delta-9 THC. Because delta-8 THC is becoming more popular, some commercial laboratories also include confirmatory analysis for delta-8 THC in drug tests. In essence, it is hard to say clearly that delta-8 THC will not produce a positive drug test result because it is dependent.

 

How Do Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC Compare?

 

 

According to Dr. Gordon, delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC are both made up of identical components (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), with just a small difference in how those elements are ordered.

Despite being chemically identical, delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC differ significantly.

 

Similarities

 

 

Delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC can both have the above-mentioned beneficial and negative effects since they both activate the body's CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, including those in the central nervous system.

 

 

"Activating CB1 receptors can aid with pain, sleep, relaxation, calming a hyperactive nervous system, improving appetite, protecting and healing nerves, and preventing sensory overstimulation," explains Dr. Gordon.

"CB2 receptor activation largely soothes a hyperactive immune system and lowers inflammation, both of which are critical in the treatment of many chronic illnesses."
