Delta-8 THC FAQ’s
What is Delta-8-THC?
Delta-8 THC or Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol is a new, cutting edge cannabinoid (derived from Hemp) which carries psychoactive effects and euphoric feelings associated with the typical properties associated with cannabis use. Additionally, Delta-8 THC is known for its anti-nausea, anti-anxiety, appetite stimulating and stress reducing properties.
Will Delta-8 cause me to fail a drug test?
Yes, Delta-8 contributes to metabolites that will trigger a positive reading on a THC drug test.
Is Delta-8 Legal in my state?
Delta-8 THC is either implicitly or fully legal in every state except for ALASKA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, DELAWARE, IDAHO, IOWA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI, MONTANA & NEBRASKA. (Which have explicitly banned Delta-8)
Can I use Delta-8 in public?
No, if you live in a state where cannabis is not understood and accepted, it’s recommended to use it in private to prevent confusion among law enforcement. Even many legal marijuana states consider public cannabis use as violating the law, so always make sure to use it in private.
Is Delta-8 Intoxicating?
Yes, you will find it intoxicating in the same way Delta-9 THC is and should not be used while operating heavy machinery or operating a motor vehicle.
What makes Delta-8 THC the superior form of THC?
Delta-8THC is superior to the traditional and illegal Delta-9 THC because it carries basically every benefit and effect of Delta-9 THC but is fully federally legal and legal in 38 states in the United States.
How is Delta-8 THC legal to produce and sell in the USA?
Since all our products contain only Delta-8 THC made from 100 % Hemp extract, we are able to fully legally manufacture, distribute and sell to consumers in the United States. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, ratified and signed into law in December 2018, Cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC is legally classified as Hemp and thus is legal for all intents and purposes under federal law. Let’s also not forget, THC itself isn’t federally illegal, only specifically Delta-9 THC is. While Delta-8 may be federally legal, always make sure to transport your Delta-8 in a discreet fashion when traveling, as law enforcement may mistake it for illegal marijuana, making things quite complicated. Always make sure to carry a “Notice to Law Enforcement” so if you do get questioned by law enforcement, you can explain your case concisely. (“Notice to Law Enforcement” are included with orders from reputable Delta-8 vendors for the purpose of safe shipping.)

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will reach out to your state lawmakers to demand change!
How old do you have to be to purchase Delta-8-THC?

What is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC or Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol is the traditional version of THC and is the active ingredient in the Marijuana plant. This cannabinoid is responsible for the psychoactive effects experienced after consuming a marijuana product and is currently federally illegal and illegal in most states.
What is the difference in Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC?
The main difference in Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC is federal and state legality. Delta-8 THC is fully federally legal and legal in 38 states, while Delta-9 THC is federally illegal and illegal in most states. Both Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC produce euphoric psychoactive effects on users and carry a wide variety of medical and recreational benefits.
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
The difference in CBD (Cannabinoid) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is that CBD doesn’t carry the psychoactive effects that THC does. CBD can be used for numerous health reasons, but it will never give the consumer the psychoactive effects that Delta-8 and Delta-9 would provide. THC carries most, if not all benefits of CBD, but also introduces the “high” euphoric feeling which can be hugely beneficial for many users.
What does “Hemp Derived THC” mean?
“Hemp Derived THC” means that the THC is entirely produced from Hemp. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, which clarifies that “Hemp” is any cannabis plant containing less than 0.3% Delta-9THC, Hemp is federally legal for all purposes under federal law.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are essential oils that contribute to the smell, taste and aromas that cannabis is notorious for. They also contribute to physical sensations and determine whether a strain is an Indica, Sativa or Hybrid. Terpenes can be derived from either botanicals or cannabis plants themselves.
How is Delta-8 THC made?
While Delta-8 THC can be extracted in several different ways the most common way (to create it in a federally compliant way) is by converting CBD Isolate to Delta-8 THC using chemistry. Delta-8 is not found in high concentrations naturally so it must undergo a chemical reaction to create large quantities of it. The resulting product is a pink or rose-colored Delta-8THC Distillate Oil. At this point, the Delta-8 THC Oil is then infused into edibles or is mixed with terpenes (smell-taste) for a vape cartridge.
