It’s important to remember that “safer” does not mean devoid of risks. A recent “Health Advisory” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls into question how safe Delta-8 really is. The warning stemming from the lack of research into Delta-8’s properties, the use of harsh chemicals and solvents used in converting CBD into Delta-8 as well as the increase in recent adverse health impacts associated to Delta-8 usage, many requiring hospitalization.
