Before delta 8 THC can be made, CBD needs to be extracted from legal hemp material, usually
using hemp flowers or hemp biomass (meaning the entire hemp plant). There are a variety of
different methods that can be used for extracting Delta-8.

Once the CBD isolate material is ready, it needs to be transformed into Delta-8-THC through a
process called “isomerization.”
Isomerization can be achieved through heat, pressure, time, or adding a catalysts like an acid.

Usually, delta 8 is made from a CBD-rich extract and the final product will contain no delta 9
THC. In some cases, a full-spectrum product may contain trace amounts of delta 9. Hemp
products can legally contain up to 0.3% delta 9 THC, but these trace amounts aren’t enough to
impact the effects of delta 8 products.
