WASHINGTON — In the last year, an estimated 11% of high school seniors have used Delta 8 THC, according to a new report published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Delta 8 THC is a quasi-legal psychoactive version of cannabis, which has skyrocketed in popularity after a loophole found in a 2018 federal law allowed it to be sold nationwide without the same restrictions placed on traditional marijuana. While legal marijuana is only sold at licensed adults-only dispensaries, Delta 8 products are currently sold online, at gas stations and smoke shops, and in many states where traditional marijuana is entirely illegal. There is also no federal minimum age to purchase Delta 8 products.
