Seriously, can someone explain what the deal is with all these different compounds you can buy now? Does anyone even know? The hell's a Delta 8 or a Delta 11? CBDV? What's an HHC? Or THCP? I went to a dispensary and it's like taking a computer science course!
personal experience + info i've scraped from reddit, forums
delta 8 - 1/2 the strength of delta-9. produces more of a "body high". the distillate is very harsh to vape. when ingested, it metabolizes exactly the same as delta-9 so it makes good edibles
HHC - about 3/4 the strength of delta-9. heady. less anxiety. surverys show it's generally preferred to delta-9. ingested it metabolizes into a different compound and lasts a long time.
THC-P: found in trace amounts in some cannabis. extremely potent.
CBN: this is what THC breaks down into over time. old weed is mostly CBN. basically the perfect sleep aid.
CBD-V: very new, has some anti-migraine properties. anti-inflamatory like CBD.
CBG: works like CBD but has some stimulant effects.
THC-V: found in some african landrace cannabis. mental stimulant. basically distilled essence of that initial stimulating feeling you get from THC before you get tired.
edit: stock up now because in September all this stuff will likely be banned when the farm bill comes up for review! can't have nice things nosir
