According to David Manning at Fairhope Health Foods, the hemp-derived cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has become quite popular in the natural food and wellness industry. Now, there is another cannabinoid taking the stage, and it is called Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Fairhope Health Foods carries a wide variety of dosages and forms of the new Delta-8 THC, including soft gels, liquid tinctures and gummies.

Delta-8 has far less of the negative effects of Delta-9 THC, the primary component for the psychoactive effects in marijuana, while still presenting most of the medicinal benefits to reduce pain, stimulate the appetite and reduce nausea. It also reduces anxiety and improving the quality of sleep in many people.  The effects of Delta-8 THC will vary per person,  and seem to be a much more appropriate alternative to its Delta-9 counterpart, especially for those who wish to abstain from the mental fogginess Delta-9 THC creates.

It is important to note that dosage for Delta-8 is highly individualized, and it is suggested to start with a lower dose. It is also important to find a reputable company that produces it because the extraction process may vary.
