The high you get from marijuana is due to a single cannabinoid called Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. That’s the primary psychoactive ingredient in weed, as well as the primary target of regulators seeking to control its use. But the marijuana plant contains many superpowers, and getting you super high is just one of them.

There are actually more than 140 cannabinoids with varying degrees of psychoactivity, and because federal drug laws only target Delta-9, so-called “cannapreneurs” are turning to the pot-pourri of other molecules found in the marijuana plant. Among them is CBD, which has enjoyed explosive growth since 2019, finding its way into everything from ice cream to CBD oils and CBD pet products.

Another popular cannabinoid is Delta-8 THC. Like CBD, Delta-8 exists in small quantities in every marijuana plant. It can be vaped, cooked into edibles, absorbed under the tongue or sprayed onto hemp flower and smoked. You can order it online or buy it in hemp shops in most states. Even some gas stations sell the stuff — a strange sight in states like Georgia or New York, where marijuana laws are still highly restrictive.
