You are absolutely incorrect. From a psychoactive perspective, delta-8 is pretty much indistinguishable from pure THC (a.k.a. delta-9). In my experience the difference is mostly about quantity; it takes about 30% more delta-8.

Unfortunately -- and this should be made absolutely clear -- that unlike cannabis itself, there has been little use of delta-8 THC throughout human history.

Its recent use is a sad consequence of the government making a relatively harmless compound illegal and driving users to use novel compounds with unknown (or even averse) safety profiles.

The long-term effects of delta-8 THC use are currently unknown, and you are basically volunteering to be a guinea pig by using it.

Much safer to use cannabis itself (and ideally grow it yourself, so you really know what you're getting).
