Can a pilot use legal psychoactive cannabinoids? How do the FAA and airline companies treat pilots using substances like Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol on their down time? Like CBD, Delta-8-THC is a legal derivative from marijuana.
Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8-THC, Δ8-THC) is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It has psychoactive properties; the effects are less potent but comparable.
Delta 8 THC metabolites trigger many drug tests looking for Delta 9 THC metabolites. These compounds are chemically similar.
Whoever needs to pass a drug test (pilots included) should not take them.
