I witnessed delta 8 products severely fuck with some of my former clients’ meds and symptoms in a way weed does not. Also, delta 8 products are not regulated.
The FDA does not regulate delta-8 products, which means that anybody can create products and market them as containing delta-8.
This makes it tough to figure out whether you’re buying safe products. There’s no way to ensure whether your purchase is legitimate or whether it contains harmful contaminants. Source
Not trying to tell you what to do, but there’s a common misconception that delta 8 products are safe. Even if delta 8 itself is safe, it doesn’t mean the unregulated products are safe.
I can’t state strongly enough that it affects symptoms of mental illness and causes med interference on a whole different level than actual cannabis. Especially psychotic symptoms. We thought one client was overdosing on klonopin, but it turned out to solely be an interaction with delta 8. This client periodically smoked/vaped actual weed, and never experienced such a reaction. He was barely conscious, drooling on himself, ass hanging out of his drooping pants, and then collapsed unconscious in the hall. He had no recollection of about a 2 and a half day period.
This is anecdotal, but I, my team, and the various care facilities I worked with all saw this trend as delta 8 products really took off. And again, it’s unregulated and can contain harmful contaminants. Just a word of caution.
I typically stay away from those other ones like thc-V or thc-o or whatever but where I live it’s a lot safer to buy delta 8 at a smoke shop than to do what it takes to aquire real weed so I just go with that. The gummies they sell have delta 9 in them though.
Probably because you have to smoke a shit ton of it to get the same recreational effect as regular weed, which means you are getting a lot more of the sides. Being a different substance though, it obviously will affect your brain in a different way as well.

Delta 8 makes me super paranoid. I mostly use delta 10 or 11 now.
