The benefits of delta-8-THC vary for each individual, but it’s typically known for its reduced psychoactive qualities compared to the standard delta-9-THC.
Chemists began experimenting with delta-8-THC for years, and in 1975 researchers found it could shrink cancer tumors in rats.
In 1995 scientists in Israel gave delta-8-THC to pediatric cancer patients suffering from nausea associated with chemotherapy and found it stopped vomiting, with a 100% success rate over 480 treatments.
