The first thing you should know: Delta 8 is not a synthetic cannabinoid, there are some out
there. You might have heard slangs like K2 or Spice in reference to synthetic cannabinoids. They
are lab-produced cannabinoids that can mimic the properties of natural phytocannabinoids

(like hemp or marijuana-derived cannabinoids for example). The legal status of these man-
made drugs and the fact that they are oftentimes marketed as marijuana has caused some to

take pause. These lab made alternatives are not safe and may also have higher mood-altering
properties than their natural alternatives.
The second thing you should know. There has been lot of misinformation and “Cannabating”
regarding Delta 8, including those that would lead you to believe it is ALL synthetic.

Spoiler Alert: Delta 8 is Natural...Generally most people who take the view that ALL Delta 8 is
synthetic, ARE NOT chemists and simply misinformed. And I would question what is driving
their agenda.
Delta 8 THC is a naturally occurring compound that forms in cannabis, but only in minuscule
amounts.
Until recently, the only way to obtain any meaningful quantities of delta 8 THC was to extract
and concentrate it from massive quantities of marijuana. These products were illegal and
expensive — so there was little public interest in Δ8 THC.
But times are changing.

It impacts the legalities (or may). Delta 8 is a legal substance due to the 2018 FARM BILL
(SENATE BILL 1766) which made delta 8 THC products legal.
Delta 8 THC products are completely legal in California, Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, (Texas, now being targeted), Minnesota , Missouri , Louisiana ,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and Hawaii. The legalities of Delta 8 are one of the reasons that it’s so popular
in the CBD and cannabis marketplace. The issue with it being synthetic in the eyes of the law
can, as some LEGAL EXPERTS POSIT, cause a shift from the Farm Bill to the CSA (Controlled
Substance Act) as a case against Delta 8 remaining legal. (This is all uncharted territory, but the
consensus for many is that this won’t happen.)
However, the way that Delta-8-THC is made has everything to do with whether it’s legal, safe,
and effective. Unfortunately, not every company is willing to expose the gritty details behind
their manufacturing process, but we’re going to break it down.

Delta 8 THC is a natural cannabinoid that shares the same classical cannabinoid shape as delta 9
THC, CBD, and other phytocannabinoids. This makes delta 8 THC far safer than the non-classical
cannabinoids found in synthetic weed products like K2 or Spice.
Always check for third-party lab tests when shopping for delta 8 THC products. While Δ8 THC
itself is unlikely to pose any danger, some manufacturers don’t follow safe extraction or
isolation methods, and contaminants can wind up in the final product.

The cannabis plant makes about a dozen different types of THC some are stronger than others plus molecules of THC can degrade or even be changed into other forms of THC.

Delta 9 THC is the Cannabinoid that people are most familiar with it as it is the most prevalent in the plant. Legally, federally you can have less than .3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight therefore a lot of manufacturers are making gummy‘s  that are larger and more dense. Then if you do the math by the dry weight of the product the product is still legal in all 50 states. 

Delta 8 is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis, so it can be organically derived without manipulation or isomers to the cannabinoid. It delivers an uplifting buzz not as intense as Delta 9 and comes with a relaxing body sensation.

Delta 10 has very similar affects to Delta 8; it has been used to relieve stress and tension while not causing feelings of paranoia. Delta 10 has been found to be less potent but still provide you with the THC high. 

THC-O is another molecule of THC it is derived from Delta 8 or Delta 10. THC-O delivers a more intense, euphoric experience it is reported to be twice as strong as Delta 9.

THCP is the strongest and most pronounced version of THC. Since it is stronger you would take a lower dose of the product and it is known to produce intoxicating effects. THCP is naturally occurring and kicks in right away while THC-O has a delayed onset.

THCV is the stimulant THC molecule in the cannabis plant therefore it produces a faster-acting, more-focused, and energetic very mild sense of euphoria that lasts for a shorter period when compared to other forms of THC. THCV is found in the Sativa varieties of cannabis. 

The main difference between all the THC molecules is how many carbon atoms they have and how they bind with your receptors. This translates into the buzz or the high feeling you experience when you take the different products.

Live rosin is a potent, concentrated distinct cannabis extract. It is a solventless concentrate, meaning it is extracted without the use of chemical solvents found in other forms of cannabis concentrates. It can be extracted using flash frozen cannabis and ice to remove the cannabis crystals. “Live” rosin contains more plant terpenes which contributes to a more distinct experience. Because live rosin is created from fresh cannabis material, neither dried nor cured, it retains more of the THC compounds so it is more potent than other forms of concentrates. 

All Cannon Street Apothecary products contain a concentration equal to or less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis. Products containing hemp-derived THC at this concentration are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Drug tests specifically detect metabolites of Delta-9 THC. You should not use this product if you have concerns regarding passing a drug test. By purchasing any Cannon Street Apothecary product, you assume full responsibility for all parts pertaining to your purchase.
