Like CBD, Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as Delta-8-THC, is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant. The “THC” that you commonly hear about is called Delta-9-THC, which provides the high psychoactive component to cannabis. When Delta-9 becomes oxidized, it forms the Delta-8 compound. At The Cat’s Meow CBD, Delta-8 is extracted from hemp.
