Federal Appeals Court Rules That Delta-8 THC Is Legal

We finally found a THC that is gentler enough to be legal and still has medical properties similar to CBD, which aids in better sleep and helps with anxiety and stress. This is the Delta-8 THC, which a federal court in California has recently ruled lawful and even permitted to go through trademark protection last May 2022.

But what else do we know about it? Or better yet, what more should we know about it?

Delta-8 THC Can Get You High

Delta-8 THC is short for Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, and it is naturally in the cannabis plant. It is commonly found in the form of gummies and other edibles, along with cartridges for vaping and other tinctures. Because it contains THC, it can cause psychoactive reactions, albeit milder than its stronger, smoked “sister”, the Delta-9.

Cannabidiol (CBD), which is extracted from hemp, has very little amount of THC, which is why it has been legalized, especially for medical use. It contains as little as 0.3% of THC, while confiscated marijuana usually reaches a 15% THC content. This means that there’s very little chance it can induce psychoactive reactions.

Delta-8 THC products, such as gummies, usually follow the same amount to keep them safe for use or even have less THC content, as low as 0.1%, making them even safer than CBD in certain cases.

So, yes, you read that right.

Because Delta-8 is not as strong as actually smoking pot, or Delta-9, and because it presents the same benefits as that CBD, especially for addressing panic attacks, depression or bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and stress, California marijuana laws have made it legal in the state.

However, it is only legal so long as it is derived from hemp, as part of the 2018 Farm Bill. To add to that, there are still some states that have banned Delta-8 due to the psychoactive effects it can possibly induce on some who have taken it in the course of the study.

What Does That Mean?

The worst side effects based on the study on those who have taken Delta-8 included vomiting, hallucinations, passing out, difficulty standing or body coordination, some loss of memory, dry mouth, and some changes in terms of appetite and ergo weight.

This is why the FDA still has warnings about it amidst the legalization. The warnings are coming from the FDA primarily because Delta-8 doesn’t have to be smoked and can mostly be taken as an edible.

It does, however, still have fewer side effects than Delta-9. This means that you can get the medical benefits of CBD with very few psychoactive effects. More so, you can get the benefits without the paranoia, munchies, or anxiety that is usually associated with Delta-9 or with smoking pot.

Based on current research, its medical benefits still make it work like CBD. Those who underwent the study showed that Delta-8 experienced relaxation. It also works well for relieving pain.

Most importantly, the study shows that, albeit the mild psychoactive effects it can induce, Delta-8 still keeps people functional and performing their everyday work. This means that though there are a few side effects, the “high” will still keep you functional enough to do your daily tasks.

Delta-8 State Legality Overview

Amidst Texas Marijuana limitations, Delta-8 THC is actually legal in that state. However, in 12 other states, it is banned. There’s still much research ongoing about Delta-8–focused primarily on checking if benefits outweigh possible risks.

Additionally, discussions are being done to avoid possible abuse and access, especially to minors, and also in terms of mislabeling the THC content in said products.

In Colorado, due to the psychoactive properties in Delta-8, they are now regulating sales and are creating a task force focused on the study of intoxication through hemp. In Kentucky, lawmakers are going over Congress’ intention in terms of the legalization of hemp.

All in all, it is still an ongoing work as laws are still being discussed, especially concerning possible changes if the Hemp Advancement Act will eventually be passed.

Is Delta-8 THC Legal in Your State?

Several states still have differing stands on the matter concerning its legalization. It is legal in over 30 states. Arizona, Minnesota, and Mississippi still have unclear stands on the matter. Ultimately, it is illegal and banned in 13 states.

The best way is to check online about the status of your state concerning Delta-8. More so, it would be better to keep yourself updated as changes might happen sooner or later regarding the laws, not just in terms of legalization but also with sales and regulations of THC products.

The Future of Delta-8 THC

Currently, it is too early to tell where Delta-8 is headed.

Legally, the Hemp Advancement Act is being discussed in Congress to be inclusive of Delta-8. The Act is pushing for the inclusion as well of other THC compounds. If this gets passed, Delta-8, along with other hemp-extracted products, will be banned and illegal.

However, if looking at how current state laws are progressing, this might change. Currently, most states have legalized marijuana, even recreationally. If this is the trend of local laws, then Delta-8 might actually be legal for medical use at the very least.

Hopefully, more research will be done that covers not just the effect of Delta-8 on adults in order to further lessen the anxiety of accessibility to minors as there are also minors who struggle with chronic pain, mood disorders, and panic attacks, among others.

That being said, of course, the legalization of sales comes with proper regulation. This means that businesses that wish to sell Delta-8 should be properly registered. They should also follow protocols in terms of appropriate testing and research, labeling, and other related regulations expected of a lawful sale.

This regulation might just be the best hope for consumers as it addresses the prevention of what are current possible risks, especially towards the access of minors or mislabelled products. Additionally, by upping the regulations of Delta-8, it can increase the quality alongside data-based benefits and safety of products containing Delta-8 THC.
