NOVA Delta-8 THC Disclosure

What is Delta-8 THC?

Delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid derived from hemp. Unlike CBD, Delta-8 THC produces psychoactive effects that can make users feel high. Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (commonly abbreviated as Delta-8 THC, Δ8THC, Δ8, D8, D8 THC, or D8THC) is found naturally in both hemp and marijuana plants, though typically in very small concentrations.

Delta-8 THC is an isomer of both CBD and Delta-9 THC, meaning it shares the same molecular formula but has a different arrangement of atoms, resulting in distinct properties and effects. While Delta-8 occurs naturally in cannabis plants, commercial production typically involves converting CBD or Delta-9 THC through chemical processes using heat, altered pH environments, and/or solvents.

Effects and Properties

When consumed or inhaled, Delta-8 THC can produce effects including mild psychoactive effects similar to traditional THC

The chemical differences between Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC are minimal, and both compounds interact with cannabinoid receptors in the brain's endocannabinoid system. However, users often report that Delta-8 provides a milder, more clear-headed experience compared to Delta-9 THC.*

Production and Manufacturing

It's important to understand that Delta-8 THC cannot be grown naturally in significant quantities. There are no "Delta-8 seeds" available for cultivation. Commercial Delta-8 products are created through chemical conversion processes that transform CBD or other cannabinoids into Delta-8 THC.

Delta-8 flower products available in the market are typically regular hemp flower that has been infused with Delta-8 distillate. Due to the complex nature of these chemical processes, Nova Element Corp d/b/a NOVA strongly advises against attempting to create Delta-8 products at home. All Delta-8 products should come from reputable manufacturers who provide comprehensive laboratory testing and certificates of analysis.

Usage and Consumption Methods

Delta-8 THC products are available in various forms similar to CBD products, including:

  • Tinctures and oils

  • Edibles (gummies, chocolates, etc.)

  • Vape cartridges and disposables

  • Pre-rolls and flower products

  • Topical applications

Dosage Guidelines: Nova Element Corp d/b/a NOVA strongly recommends following a "start low and go slow" approach when using Delta-8 products. Begin with the smallest possible dose, especially if you are new to cannabis products or have limited experience with psychoactive substances. Delta-8's effects can be significantly different from CBD and may take 30 minutes to 2 hours to fully manifest, particularly with edible products.

Federal and State Legal Status

Federal Legality: Delta-8 THC derived from hemp is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill (Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018). This legislation legalized all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids from hemp, provided the final product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.

The 2018 Farm Bill specifically amended the Controlled Substances Act to remove tetrahydrocannabinols derived from industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances, which provides the legal foundation for Delta-8 THC products.

State-Level Variations: While federally legal, individual states have the authority to regulate or prohibit Delta-8 THC within their jurisdictions. As of 2025, several states have implemented restrictions or outright bans on Delta-8 products. The legal landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with new legislation and regulations being introduced regularly.
