Delta 8 THC vs Delta 9 THC
The chemical differences between delta 8 and delta 9 are very minor. These substances appear to operate via slightly different neurological pathways, but the experienced effects are largely the same. The major important difference between delta 8 and delta 9 is the way they’re regulated with delta 9 still being considered a Schedule I drug and delta 8 often being considered hemp.
