Delta-8: What We Know and What We Don’t
Delta-8 is an isomer of delta-9 THC, or just ‘THC’ as it is commonly called. In some places where delta-9 is criminalized, delta-8 is legal. This is because it does not produce the same kind of effects that delta-9 does.
A very popular way for people to consume delta-8 is by vaping. Vaping is convenient, cheap, and delicious (since vapes often have very nice flavors). If you are interested in delta-8 and want to know whether or not it’s worth using, then this post has you covered. Here is everything we know about the chemical, and everything we don’t:
Natural Ingredients
When you are buying vapes, it’s always good to buy ones that contain as many natural ingredients as possible. It should be noted, this point is entirely unrelated to this post’s topic. Delta-8 will be covered in the coming points.
Some vapes are filled with harmful chemicals, synthetics, and nasty ingredients. The best way to find out about manufacturers offering non-toxic vapes is to read articles published on authentic vapes, ideally by authors who’re well-versed in delta-8 (since you are trying to buy delta-8 vapes, after all).
The quality of the delta-8 that you are buying is also something to consider. Make sure that you buy it from a vendor who specializes in high-quality delta 8, derived without the use of solvents. Sometimes, solvents are left over in cannabinoids when they are extracted. Consuming these solvents can be very bad for you.
Ease Nausea
One of the main advantages of delta-8 is that it can help to ease nausea, especially in people who suffer from gastrointestinal disorders, like IBS. There is no evidence to suggest that delta-8 helps to treat these conditions (like CBD does) but it can be an effective treatment for the symptoms produced by them.
Another way to ease nausea is to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Many gastrointestinal disorders can be effectively remedied by living a healthy lifestyle. If you don’t eat very well or exercise often, then now’s the time to change that.
Appetite Boost
People who suffer from mental health disorders or other conditions that reduce their appetite can benefit from taking delta 8. Delta-8 THC is a very effective treatment for a reduced appetite, as is delta-8 THC. This is in part due to the fact that once delta 8’s subtle high passes, you will be left with ‘the munchies.’
If you haven’t had much of an appetite recently, then it is a good idea to reach out to your doctor. There are a number of different reasons why you might not have an appetite. A lack of appetite could be a symptom of a serious health condition.
Anti-anxiety
Anxiety can be a very difficult condition to live with. Unfortunately, it is one of the most common mental illnesses in the entire United States. A huge number of people suffer from it. It is characterized by unnecessary worrying, fear, and sometimes an inability to sleep.
If you have been suffering from anxiety, then you will benefit from the use of delta 8. People swear by it, even going as far as to say that it’s better at treating anxiety than CBD or delta-9 THC.
Mental Health
Anxiety isn’t the only mental health condition that delta-8 THC can be used to treat. Many other people claim that it’s just as effective at treating depression as it is at anxiety. However, it should be noted that at this time, there have been no scientific studies into the chemical’s effect on mental health.
If you plan on using it and have very serious mental health problems, you might want to speak to your physician first and get their permission. It is also worth noting that delta 8 has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for stress disorders, like PTSD.
Prevent Vomiting
Finally, a lot of people who use the drug say that it helps them to reduce vomiting. Vomiting is a common side effect of chemotherapy, a treatment used to fight cancer. Some people use medical marijuana to treat cancer. However, in many places, marijuana is illegal. In such places, delta 8 is commonly used.
Delta 8 is not illegal in many countries, mainly because the government isn’t yet aware of it. It is very probable that in places where it is currently legal, it will be made illegal (but only in places where marijuana is illegal, not in the U.S. or Canada).
Delta-8 THC is a very promising treatment for a number of different health conditions. If you have physical or mental health issues, then you might benefit from its use too. Do your research before committing to using it and make sure that it’s safe for you to take up.
