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).
