Ah, Delta 8. Ever heard of it? It’s the hot, new cannabinoid that everyone’s talking about.Now, we know it may sound oddly familiar to the highly controversial Delta 9 THC (the kind that most people smoke or consume, legally or otherwise). They’re not the same thing.Delta 8 THC is among the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, which we know includes both marijuana and the hemp plant.But while Delta 8 THC might be new to you, it’s actually been on the radar of many renowned scientists and biochemists for years. Which means, scientists have been studying this cannabinoid since the mid 1970s. Crazy, right?
