Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) is a naturally occurring, mildly psychoactive isomer of THC that has gained popularity recently. According to pharmacological reviews, Δ8-THC acts as a partial agonist at CB₁ and CB₂ receptors, which likely contributes to its “less intense” psychoactive profile compared with Δ9-THC.

Many users report Δ8-THC provides relaxation, pain relief, and reduced anxiety, while experiencing fewer negative side effects (like paranoia) than Δ9-THC.
