This week, we’re diving into all things Delta 8. When we covered this topic in Cannabis Study Club last year, we thought Delta 8 would probably lose steam as countries and states continued to legalize.

Fast forward to today. Delta 8 has catapulted itself around the globe, from Mexico to recreational and medical dispensaries in Canada and everywhere in between.

It’s being infused into gummies, sprayed onto CBD flower, and loaded into vape pens by the truckload.

While Delta 8 itself isn’t scary, the process folks are using to produce it is - in a word - gross.

This week’s episode is slightly nerdy and quite short, so listen in to get a full understanding of the potential pitfalls and uses of Delta 8.

It seems like every day we wake up to a new cannabinoid showing up in online shops, gas stations and grocery stores.

In 2022 the internet has been abuzz with news that you can buy THC online. You may have heard of Delta-8 or Delta-10. But in this episode, Cannabis Coaches and Educators Corinne Tobias and Andrea Meharg cover the real deal: Delta-9.

Delta-9 is the original THC. It’s the reason cannabis is prohibited. It’s the cannabinoid that triggers drug tests, can get you high, and in some states it can land you in jail and get your children taken from you.
