A new cannabis product has been taking the U.S. by storm. Proponents of delta-8 THC promise a product that feels like a milder version of traditional cannabis and is also fully legal. If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it likely is. Experts like UCLA’s Ziva Cooper are calling attention to potential health risks of consuming an unregulated product that could contain contaminants.
