A new study highlights the significant use of delta-8, a cannabis compound often marketed as “light THC” or a legal weed alternative, among high school seniors, especially in states without adult-use cannabis legalization.

The lack of age restrictions in most states where delta-8 is legal raises concerns, suggesting a potential public health issue, as revealed in the study published in JAMA.
