DELTA 8 will show on drug test and it take longer to detox

 This is a typical post from Delta 8 users 

smoked Delta 8 heavily for one week. 7 days away from 2 months since. this stuff stays with you for a long time

SO the thing is we believe these reagent dip stick and CUP  test do NOT differentiate from delta 8 and real THC. So they are unreliable in that a LAB may not see it at all . BUT if it is seeing it then it at least shows it stays around in system longer than real THC use.

 

 

Delta-8-THC is structurally very similar to delta-9-THC but is known to have weaker attraction to the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1). This leads to delta-8 having fewer psychotropic effects and fewer adverse effects than delta-9-THC. However, despite delta-8’s fewer effects, it is still metabolized to a similar chemical compound to delta-9-THC, which frequently leads to a positive UDS for marijuana metabolites and could potentially lead to a positive confirmatory test, too.

delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol is a compound that exists in cannabis. It’s just one of many cannabinoids that include; CBD, CBG, and of course, THC.Extracting delta-8 from raw hemp material is costly and time-consuming. Fortunately, manufacturers have found an alternative way to produce the compound; cannabinoid conversion.

Create a CBD isolate: Before the conversion can begin, the hemp extract needs to be purified into 98% CBD. The extract undergoes an extensive filtration process, which removes all other cannabinoids and terpenes. Combine with a solvent and acid: Manufacturers add a non-polar solvent, such as heptane, to the mixture. Once fully dissolved, they add an acid reagent in order to produce the chemical reaction and cannabinoid conversion. The solution is then continually stirred for at least 3 hours; a stirring plate is often used. Depending on the formula, the solution is either kept at room temperature or heated. Neutralize and clean the solution: Producing delta-8 can create several unwanted byproducts, such as solvent and acid residue. So cleaning and filtering the solution is essential. It’s common to use a distilled water and sodium bicarbonate wash and sometimes a rotary evaporator.   The Problem With Converting CBD Into Delta-8 While creating lab-produced delta-8 is relatively simple, it involves combining lots of potentially dangerous chemicals. Because of this, only licensed chemists and experienced manufacturers should manipulate CBD into delta-8. Unfortunately, many low-quality “at-home” kits and formulas are on the market. By using them, consumers run the risk of handling and ingesting harmful acid and solvent residue. For those interested in trying delta-8, buying from reputable and high-quality brands is an important decision. It’s rare to find naturally-derived delta-8 products. While the cannabinoid does exist in cannabis, its limited concentration makes it an unpopular method of extraction. Instead, most companies make delta-8 products with hemp-derived cannabinoids, like CBD, and convert them into the compound. Using a simple lab process like cannabinoid conversion has made delta-8 products affordable for many consumers. It’s worth remembering that delta-8 products are still new to the cannabis market. Extraction, conversion, and testing techniques are constantly developing and improving. And, much like the cannabis industry as a whole, the lack of regulation means that poorly-made products do exist. Consumers should be extra vigilant about quality when buying delta-8 products.

 People think that delta 8 is legal and its not same as weed .  WRONG sort of  all delta products show up as THC and im guessing due to processing of making it which is not a natural product in a herbal form it is just hemp SPRAYED with a ? compound ,  it sticks around much longer. Best to stay the hell away from it.  Only lots of cardio and detox tea will flush it out any cannabinoid.  If you are testing dirty and have a test best thing to do is keep a ONE SHOT synthetic urine bottle on hand
