Participants also reported notable adverse experiences with delta-8-THC; most of the time, delta-8-THC is more harmful to the lungs than delta-9-THC when inhaled. Studies have been conducted that show a relationship between Delta-8 vaping and lung injury. The study showed that people who had vaped cannabinoids and some developed respiratory problems. The PCC states that delta-8-THC can cause harmful reactions if more than one “dose” is taken.
Some of those reactions, Scharman says, can affect mental functioning, breathing and the heart. It can also be dangerous if a child takes a single dose.
