Delta-8 THC is one of the cannabis plants' many cannabinoids. Its structure and chemical composition are incredibly similar to Delta-9 THC, which is the primary psychoactive component in cannabis products. However, Delta-THC doesn't have the same binding properties that Delta-9 THC does, creating different effects in the body.
Delta-8 THC has only mild psychoactive effects. The cannabinoid has a higher therapeutic value than psychoactive value, making it incredibly appealing to those looking for anxiety relief and comfort. You’ll find Delta-8 THC in small amounts within both hemp and marijuana plants, but it’s best when extracted. Extracting Delta-8 THC allows consumers to better focus on and embrace the cannabinoid’s effects, as its natural levels are so low.
CBD, Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC are all compounds called cannabinoids that are found naturally in the hemp plant. Cannabidiol is non-intoxicating.

While it’s legal through hemp flowers, yes, you are still very likely to fail a drug test if you get tested and you have Delta-8 THC in your system. However, it may not be for the reason that you think. Likewise, it depends on the type of drug test being used as well as other factors. The frequency of Delta-8 THC use, your metabolism and weight, gender, age, and more also play into it.
It’s important to understand how drug testing works when it comes to THC, though. Most people think the tests look for Delta-9 THC metabolites. Currently, most drug tests aren’t quite that advanced enough yet. Instead, drug tests try to determine the presence of THC metabolites rather than any specific cannabinoid.
Urine tests, for example, work to detect Delta-9 THC's primary inactive metabolite, also known as THC-COOH.
These metabolites can be detected after use, especially in the urine, because they’re stored in our fat cells.
