Hello Friday.
April 19 2024
Have you heard of Delta-8? No, we aren’t talking about the airline company, but it could make you take flight.
Today we are breaking down what you need to know about the agricultural product known as Delta-8 that has been growing on SC.

What is it?
We don’t want to get in the weeds, so Delta-8 is 1 of 140+ compounds found in cannabis that has become increasingly popular due to the similarity to Delta-9 (aka tetrahydrocannabinol, the scientific name for THC). Delta-9 users have been known to experience feelings of happiness, increased hunger, symptom relief, and more.
Basically, the 2 cannabinoids have similar chemical structures + their names.
Is it legal in SC?
Currently, South Carolina has not banned Delta-8 + it is available locally. According to the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, the hemp plant is legal to grow in the state with proper permits; however, it has to have a THC level below .3%. Anything above that is illegal in the state, for now.
Where can you find it locally?

Charleston Hemp Collective, 473 King St. — Gummies, bath products, tinctures, coffee + tea
