What is Delta-8?

 Delta-8 is a cannabis compound that has gained popularity because of its similarity to THC. Delta-8 exists naturally in the cannabis plant (hemp) and works much like THC, now it's a less potent form of THC so you're not going to be high as a kite, but you will get a nice buzz with psychotropic effects.
