How Is Delta-8 Made?

The cannabis plant is a powerful plant that contains multiple medicinal properties, one of which is the powerful Delta-8 extract, also known as Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol. Delta-8 is touted as the “lite” version of marijuana, which elicits strong concern from users on how this hemp variant is created. Since Delta-8 only contains less than 0.3% of THC, many users seek confirmation that this cannabidiol will indeed get them “high,” but not cause any legal issues. Let’s break down exactly what Delta-8 THC is and how it’s created.

 

What Is Delta-8?

 

Delta-8 THC is currently the fourth largest researched cannabinoid in the world. While research shows that this cannabinoid has been around since 1974, the United States has suppressed most, if not all, research surrounding this field. Delta-8 is assumed to be a new cannabinoid to the cannabis world and market because of the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed the hemp plant and any derivatives from the definition of marijuana, as long as the THC percentage is less than 0.3%. If you are new to the smoking world and just want to “dip your toes” in, this may be for you. If you have tried smoking before and found the effects of marijuana to be too powerful, this is an excellent alternative and may be something that you want to research more.  Essentially, Delta-8 THC is a way for people to try smoking weed without smoking weed. The reported effects of Delta-8 THC allows the user to experience similar “high” feelings as when smoking cannabis, with the major differences being potency and intensity of the effects.

The Extraction Process of Delta-8

 

This all seems like a great alternative to strong weed right? However, this is where an issue appears. While Delta-8 THC can be found in multiple strains of cannabis, it is very minimal in terms of quantities. Research shows that when dried, most cannabis flowers contain less than 1% of Delta-8 THC. In order to get the purest form of Delta-8 THC, and to truly experience this cannabinoid, it needs to be extracted by one of two ways: isolate the compound or synthesize it from other cannabinoids.

 

Soil, as well as the environment, is integral.  Dark, rich, pesticide-free soil is the foundation to any healthy plant, as well as proper lighting and ventilation. Good news is, if you are doing this process yourself, you are given complete control over the environment. Once the hemp flower is grown, the buds are harvested, dried, cured, and trimmed to glorious perfection. The hemp flower is then broken down and run through a fractional distillation process. Thin film distillation, temperature variations, and different levels of pressure are all used in order to isolate Delta-8-THC. If this process is used correctly, it is possible to extract Delta-8 THC that contains over 80% of  THC from the hemp flower. Research shows that over 99% of Delta-8 THC can be further refined to an astonishing 99%, thus resulting in a much higher concentrate of Delta-8 THC.

 

You can also utilize an isomerization process, where you convert CBG and CBD into Delta-8 THC. This requires highly specialized equipment and can be very time-consuming. However, the end results are highly rewarding, as the extracted Delta-8 THC still tests under 0.3% THC. The resulting Delta-8 is also free of additives and solvents, resulting in the highest quality available.

 

Is Delta-8 Right For Me?

 

One thing to definitely keep in mind is that THC (lower potency or not)  is not for everyone. If you find that smoking does not agree with you, you should not feel pressured to search for alternatives. However,  Delta-8 offers the same benefits as marijuana, but a clear-headed controlled high. If you’ve had a bad experience with weed but still want the relaxation and heady high without the anxiety or paranoia, Delta-8 can be a godsend. There are so many available products that make it easy to incorporate Delta-8 into your daily activities.
