The midday puff break is looking a lot different nowadays than it did 20 years ago. In most cases that puff you’re toking from isn’t from a tightly rolled cigarette. It’s probably some sort of futuristic device Elon Musk could have designed to pair perfectly with the Tesla Truck.

This is the future of CBD, and the future of the midday puff break. And yes, it is available right here on earth, in the form of Delta 8 THC. Let's explain.

What in the Heck is Delta 8 THC? Is it Cannabis? Is it CBD?

Most of us know about the most famous cannabinoid, THC, and what it does: it gets us “high”, it can make us uncontrollably giggly, it puts us to sleep, enhances pleasure zones in the brain, and much more.

As the world catches up to CBD, the compound in cannabis that doesn't get us high, extraction labs are deepening their research into plant chemistry and lesser-known cannabinoids and then infusing them into different products.

The growing popularity of CBD really has to do with the research into its lesser known cannabinoids. Cannabinoids like Delta 8.

That’s where Delta 8 THC comes in.

Today, cannabis is available in various forms. In the yesteryears, people would shy away from even discussing the cannabis plant but now, because of a better understanding of CBD and an increased legalization for THC products, it’s all over the place. Gone are the days when this plant would be famous in the news for all the wrong reasons because today it stands concrete with a plethora of proven health benefits in its support. Now, cannabis plants have a strong role to play in the health industry.
