Delta 8 is seriously dodgy. Please be careful and read up on what you are taking, the below is an extract from the /cleancarts sub on Reddit
#"Hemp Derived" Delta-8-THC sellers
ta-8-THC is present in hemp is such low amounts (<.00001%) that it isn't feasible to extract it from hemp. It isn't even *detectable* in most hemp strains. The only real way to get delta-8 starting with hemp is to synthesize it by isomerizing CBD, which is present in hemp in great quantity, into delta-9-THC and then into delta-8-THC using reagent chemicals such as chlorine bleach, hydrosulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, p-Toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, organo-metallo complexes with cadmium or lead, or zinc chloride/bromide. Then to improve color, sometimes silica or bleaching clay (such as t-41) is added. The reagents and other chemicals used are all extremely toxic to vape, difficult to remove, and must be completely gone from the final product for it to be safe. There are less common reagents used to isomerize, but that are all also extremely dangerous. Because of this, you can only trust delta-8-THC sellers who test for the reagent they use (as well as for purity, pesticides, and heavy metals) and who are licensed by their states hemp program. To date, no "hemp-derived" d8 company tests for the reagents they use. There are, however, plenty of legit marijuana producers in legal states extracting it from marijuana, no weird chemicals or synthesizing required. *Delta-8-THC does not get you high like delta-9-THC does, it is more like CBD in effect, be wary of any delta-8 cart that gets you high like delta-9 does, as the tests below show, it likely means there is delta-9 (and a lot of other chems) in with the delta-8.*
