What if you could get in the zone, without getting really stoned? Get the good parts of a cannabis high — mood enhancement, relaxation etc. — without the downside, which sometimes show up as panic or paranoia?

This is delta 8, and companies have begun making delta 8 products (gummies, tinctures and vapes) for cannabis consumers who don't want to get super-high. Cannabis educator Curt Robbins explains the science in this segment.
