I just learned about Delta-8 THC, the cousin to Delta-9 THC.
Delta-8 is legal because of the legalization of Hemp two years ago. Some chemists got busy and developed Delta-8. It can purchased online or at your local tobacco shop for those that don't have legal cannabis in your state.
It is made in all the same forms that Delta-9 THC is: vape, edibles, buds for smoking, tinctures...
It is considered marijuana light. You do get a buzz in the head and smooth in the body. I think of it as wine verses whiskey.
There are various videos about it on YouTube.
In some ways, Delta-8 sounds too good to be true. But it isnt. For people who want to feel the psychoactive effects of Delta-9, yet find it gives them paranoia or anxiety, Delta-8 is a quasi-legal option available online. And unlike Delta-9, Delta-8 is significantly cheaper, making it a viable option for some people looking for a short uplifting feeling without being intoxicated. But judging by how much attention Delta-8 has been getting by law enforcement, the trend might be short-lived. Despite the burgeoning success of Delta-8 over the past year, any day can be the cannabinoids last.

(23,340 posts)But for getting high? I'll have to make an alternate plan.
Congratulations on easing the back pain.

And then I tried it for sleep. Wow! It's almost as good regular THC edibles for sleep. I slept pretty well last night.
