ALERT! BREAKING NEWS!…
A new public health c
oncern may be arising among US 12th grade age youth. A recent study has found that the current number of high school seniors who have reported using delta-8 may be a “potential public health concern” and the number may continue to rise.
For context, Delta-8 THC, or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of the chemical compounds found in the cannabis sativa plant marketed as “light THC”. Unlike with marijuana, there are no age restrictions for buying delta-8 in most states where the product is legal. Therefore, Delta-8 THC can produce the same effect as marijuana (thought less potent) and has fewer legal restrictions–that is a potentially dangerous combination!
