What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant that is different from Delta 9 THC by only a few atomic bonds. While delta 8 (or D8, D-8) THC does not offer the exact experience of delta 9 THC, it still offers potent effects of its own. Delta 8 THC is found natively in the cannabis plant and has seen a recent surge in demand, most likely because of language found in local hemp laws. According to section 43-27-101 of Tennessee Senate Bill No. 357, “’Hemp’ means the plant cannabis sativa L…with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis. And ‘THC’ means delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol.” The legality of delta-8 hinges on this wording. Currently, as defined by Tennessee law, cannabis products containing hemp-derived delta 8 THC with less than .3% delta 9 THC are completely legal in Tennessee.
