Introduction

Delta 8 is a compound that is found in cannabis plants. It is similar to THC, the compound that gives marijuana its psychoactive properties. However, Delta 8 is much less potent than THC and does not produce the same “high” feeling. Some people believe that Delta 8 can provide some of the benefits of THC without the side effects.

There is very little research on Delta 8, so it is not clear if it is safe or if it has any potential side effects. Some people who have used Delta 8 have reported feeling dizzy, anxious, or paranoid. It is also important to note that Delta 8 is illegal in some states. If you are considering using Delta 8, make sure to check your local laws first.

What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a type of cannabinoid that is found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, Delta 8 does not produce psychoactive effects. However, it does have some potential side effects, which is why it is important to be aware of them before using this substance.

The most common side effect of Delta 8 is anxiety. This can be caused by the fact that Delta 8 can interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for regulating mood and anxiety levels. When it is not functioning properly, it can cause a person to feel anxious or paranoid.

Another potential side effect of Delta 8 is dizziness. This occurs because Delta 8 can affect the way that the inner ear processes balance information. This can lead to a feeling of unsteadiness or lightheadedness.

It is also important to note that Delta 8 is illegal in some states. This is because it is classified as a controlled substance in those states. Before using Delta 8, be sure to check your local laws to make sure that it is legal in your area.
