CDC warns delta-8 cannabis products can get you higher than thought—and cause adverse health effects
Delta-8 products can cause comas, and they’re already landing people in intensive care units.
Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have issued warnings for cannabis products that contain delta-8. The CDC and FDA warn that delta-8 cannabis products can get users higher than thought due to the products often being marketed as “hemp” products, which some consumers may conflate with “nonpsychoactive.” And while some may find that amusing, the bodies warn that delta-8 cannabis products also have more adverse health effects than generally known—including the possibility of coma.
