In the past month, Kevin Spitler at Toledo Hemp Center has seen a large increase in demand for everything Delta-8.
“It does have a similar euphoria as marijuana, just not as intense. Not as much paranoia attached to that euphoria,” Spitler said.
It’s the Delta-9 THC that’s the active ingredient in marijuana that gets you high. Delta-8 is slightly different on a molecular level. Its products come in many different forms and are legal under Ohio’s current hemp laws.
Spitler says he is conscious of where his products come from and feels confident saying it’s beneficial, but doctors disagree.
“We don’t know what it is, whether it’s safe to use because we don’t have that data,” said Dr. Rajiv Parinja, a psychiatrist with Mercy Health.
