A minor cannabinoid and an isomer of THC that can be found in small amounts in cannabis or derived legally from hemp and other sources. Known for producing milder psychoactive effects compared to Delta-9 THC, the more common form that people are familiar with and the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. Delta-8 THC is chemically similar to Delta-9 THC but differs slightly in its molecular structure, leading to less intense effects while still providing a euphoric and relaxing experience.
