Delta-8 THC Vs. Delta-9 THC

These two types of THC have been compared quite frequently, so are they the same thing, and how similar are they? The chemical structure of both Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC is incredibly similar which is why they are labeled so similarly and often compared.

Both of these cannabinoids have a similar double-bonded layout, however, this structure is differentiated in how their defining double bonds are located at a different point on the chain which forms the THC.

Since Delta 8 THC has a unique structure, this means that it will react differently within the body, specifically within the ECS of the body is the endocannabinoid system, and this is what makes it react differently from Delta 9 THC.

In contrast, Delta 9 THC will bind straight onto the cannabinoid receptors which are in the ECS, while the Delta 8 THC will not have this same reaction meaning that your body will react differently to these different types of THC.

Because of this Delta 8 THC is well known for the less intoxicating effects it has, especially in comparison to Delta 9 THC. While this is something that is generally understood by users of THC, further studies do need to be done on this specific subject.
