Delta-8 THC is a compound found in cannabis that’s similar to the more commonly known delta-9 THC, but typically produces milder psychoactive effects.

There have been concerns about the accuracy of labeling on delta-8 THC products. A product might be labeled as containing a certain amount of delta-8 THC, but without strict regulatory oversight and third-party testing, there’s no guarantee that the product actually contains the amount listed. In some cases, products might contain more delta-9 THC than is legally allowed, potentially leading to stronger psychoactive effects than a user might expect.

Furthermore, because the extraction process for delta-8 THC often involves converting CBD into delta-8 THC using chemicals, there’s also a risk that products could contain residual chemicals if not properly purified.

This lack of regulation and potential for mislabeling underscores the importance of caution when considering the use of delta-8 THC products. It’s always a good idea to buy from reputable sources and look for products that have been third-party tested. And, as always, consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement regimen, including products containing delta-8 THC.

It’s also important to note that the legal status of delta-8 THC can vary depending on the state. It’s important to check your local laws and regulations as the regulatory landscape for these products can change rapidly.
