Delta 8 THC is a hemp-derived cannabinoid that is psychoactive at normal doses – it produces a mild high – while CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce any intoxicating effect.
Both Delta 8 and CBD are derived from hemp and are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, but they work very differently in the body. Delta 8 binds directly to CB1 receptors in the brain in a way that CBD does not, producing mild euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception. CBD does not produce these effects at any dose. Delta 8 is not appropriate for anyone subject to drug testing – it will produce a positive result. Delta 8 is also never recommended for pets under any circumstances. If your wellness goal is daily balance, pain support, sleep improvement, or stress reduction without any psychoactive effect, CBD is the right choice. If you are interested in a mild recreational or relaxation experience and are not subject to drug testing, Delta 8 may be worth exploring. Banner Harvest carries both and will help you understand which is appropriate for your situation.
