Delta-8 THC Exposure Is Lower In States Where Recreational Marijuana Is Legal, Say Researchers Based On Poisons Centers' Data
Until there are more regulations on delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (∆8-THC) poison centers (PCs) will continue to get calls. That's according to a new study that suggests the rate of delta-8 THC exposure to PCs is lower in states where such products are banned and where cannabis use is legal. "Our findings showed a statistically significant lower rate of ∆8-THC exposures reported to PCs among states where medical or recreational cannabis use was legal than states where cannabis use was illegal," according to the researchers. "This is likely attributable, in part, to less market competition from ∆9-THC products in states where their use was illegal, and that ∆8-THC was likely being used as a substitute for ∆9-THC."
