HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM DELTA 8 THC? The natural amount of Delta 8 THC in hemp is very low. In order to create consumable products, additional chemicals are needed to convert other plant compounds into Delta 8 THC. This is otherwise known as synthetic conversion. Manufacturers must synthetically recreate Delta 8 THC in order to result in any noticeable effects. The synthesis of Delta 8 THC may sometimes involve harmful chemicals, while Delta 9 THC is one of the major, natural occurring cannabinoids, along with Cannabidiol (CBD) found in the hemp or cannabis plant. To many experts, Delta 9 THC is a better option and becoming more readily available.
