Life and other things….

1. Smoother Psychoactive Experience
Recreational cannabis users rarely use CBD because it doesn’t get them high. Some people, however, are very reactive to delta 9 THC from marijuana, meaning they easily get anxious at high doses.

If you’re the type that doesn’t enjoy the intense high that can make you experience anxiety and paranoia, delta 8 THC is a safer bet. Its potency has been measured at around 50–70% of the strength of delta 9 THC. Many delta 8 users claim the high from this cannabinoid is less edgy and allows them to remain focused and relaxed.

2. Appetite Boost
While delta 9 THC leads to stronger cognitive effects, delta 8 THC seems to be more effective at boosting appetite. Scientists believe that the appetite stimulation from delta 8 can be twice as strong as that induced by delta 9 THC.

If you like using cannabis for the munchies, then you’re going to have a great time with delta 8 THC, as a single dose can significantly increase your appetite.

These properties make delta 8 THC a potential aid for people struggling with low appetite and eating disorders.

3. Neuroprotection
One of the main reasons scientists have recently started to explore the benefits of delta 8 THC is how it acts on the brain.

Delta 8 THC has remarkable neuroprotective properties. It can inhibit the release of adenylyl cyclase and regulate potassium and calcium channels in the central nervous system. These actions can lead to better brain health.

Delta 8 can also increase the levels of choline and acetylcholine, which might prove helpful in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Last but not least, delta 8 forms new neurons (neurogenesis), which results in improved cognitive functioning.

4. Better Sleep
Delta 8 THC induces a more mellow high than the one experienced by delta 9 users. The effects are very similar but less potent, including stress relief, euphoria, uplifting effects, and sedation. These effects are helpful for people who have insomnia.

5. Digestive Support
Delta 8 THC can be used to control nausea and vomiting. It can be as effective in doing so as delta 9 THC. The challenge that has prevented the wider use of delta 9 THC in treating nausea comes from its stronger psychoactive nature.

Delta 8 THC has similar antiemetic properties, but it has a lower anxiety and paranoia incidence. Researchers believe that delta 8 THC can be an effective adjunctive treatment for the side effects of conventional cancer therapies due to these effects.

6. Relaxation
The National Cancer Institute has found that delta 8 THC exerts anxiolytic effects. In simple words, it can help you ease stress and relax without exaggerating anxiety, as is the case with delta 9 THC in reactive users.

Delta 8 THC binds to the CB1 receptors in the brain; these receptors play a key role in modulating the psychoactive experience of cannabis. Delta 8 has a lesser affinity with CB1 receptors, hence its effectiveness at easing anxiety and stress.

Like CBD and other cannabinoids, delta 8 THC can ease muscle tension and help your body unwind. However, it doesn’t make you feel lethargic, so you can still do your daily duties while enjoying them to the fullest.

7. Pain Relief
Many people are choosing delta 8 THC over other cannabinoids for pain relief. According to the research performed on the topical application of delta 8 THC, it can relieve chronic pain. Chronic pain and inflammation are common in neuropathy, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

The research on THC proves that it relieves chronic pain. THC offers anti-inflammatory properties and regulates the neurons and hormones that are engaged in pain transmission. When you take THC, your perception of pain changes.

Since delta 8 THC has similar properties to delta 9 THC — except for the intensity of the high — it’s within reason to assume that it, too, can make the pain more manageable.
