What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is one of the four most common cannabinoids and is in fact very similar to many other cannabinoids in the plant such as Delta 9 THC or CBD. This cannabinoid naturally exists in hemp but in very small amounts. This is why it is typically produced in the lab to produce enough quantities for the market. Many are interested in the use of Delta 8 THC due to it’s suggested health benefits and other positive effects. There are many consumers that attribute Delta 8 to have a mental high of euphoria with fewer side effects than Delta 9 THC.

How is Delta 8 Made?

Delta 8 THC is commonly made in a lab for practical and economic reasons. This is made through a chemical reaction. This reaction is done by converting CBD into delta 8 THC. This replicates a similar, natural process that already occurs when cannabinoids are created when the cannabis plant grows. Cannabinoids can always change in the cannabis plant due to natural external factors such as heat, genetics, time and light. Creating this in a controlled environment can allow for a more successful product.

Is Delta 8 Flower Legal?

Delta 8 is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. This is classified under the distinction that all hemp cannabinoids were considered federally legal aside from Delta 9 THC. Many also may question the legality since it is produced in a lab. However, it is still considered legal because it is considered to be a “conversion” and not a “synthetic substance.”

How Is It Made?

Since Delta 8 is an extract, there is no ability to grow Delta 8 flower naturally. However, Delta 8 Flower can still be produced and create a stellar consumer experience! Delta 8 flower is made through a multi-step infusion process. Step one is to select premium hemp flowers. Once these are selected, it is time to coat them with Delta 8 infused kief and Delta 8 infused distillate oil. This process often involves multiple coats on the flower to increase psychoactivity and provide an overall frostier look.

Common Effects

Delta 8 THC has resonated with many because it provides a similar mental high and body relaxation as Delta 9 THC found in marijuana, yet it doesn’t provide many with anxiety or paranoia side effects that some experience with Delta 9 THC. Many have found specific positive effects from Delta 8 THC including a focused mental high, euphoria, body relaxation, pain relief, appetite increase, anxiety reduction, sleep improvement and other effects dependent on the strain.

Since Delta 8 flower is relatively new in the market, there is little information available in terms of user experience. However, here at The Green Dragon CBD, we will begin to offer several varieties of Delta 8 flower products and pre-rolls from two of our trusted, premium providers: Treetop Hemp Co and Delta Extrax.

With between 20-30% Delta-8 concentrations, you won't go wrong with choosing between the different strains we carry. Let's highlight some of them. The energetic Sativa strain, Blue Dream, is an easy choice when looking for a deliciously uplifting experience. With an 85:15 Indica to Sativa ration, the Skywalker OG is the hybrid to look for that is also a very approachable strain. Last but not least, the Indica strain, Northern Lights, is an overall favorite and has won multiple High Times Cannabis Cups for its high quality production.
