Delta-8 THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid derivative that can be purchased at various outlets, including gas stations. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system's cannabinoid receptors, producing effects such as pain relief and mood alterations. Due to its psychoactive effects, there is a risk of addiction, particularly with frequent or high-dose use. Withdrawal symptoms may include mood swings, cravings, changes in heart rate, and dry mouth. Although not commonly leading to hospitalization, individuals experiencing significant withdrawal might seek outpatient support, including cognitive behavioral therapy, to manage these symptoms. Federally, the legal status of delta-8 varies, affecting its availability and regulation.
