Delta-8 and terpene chews are often shelved near each other as hemp products, but they could not be more different. The short answer: Delta-8 is an intoxicating cannabinoid that gets you high, while a terpene chew contains zero THC of any kind and does not. And as of the 2026 federal hemp rules, that difference matters more than ever.

What Delta-8 is

Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid, a close chemical cousin of regular delta-9 THC. It is mildly intoxicating, and it is typically made by chemically converting CBD. It rose to popularity as a hemp-derived way to get a legal high in places where cannabis was restricted.

What a terpene chew is

A terpene chew, like MONDAYS, is built on terpenes, the aroma and flavor compounds of cannabis. It contains zero THC and zero CBD, does not get you high, and is, in plain terms, candy that tastes like your favorite strains.

The 2026 rule change

This is the timely part. A federal law taking effect November 12, 2026 restricts intoxicating hemp products and specifically targets converted cannabinoids like Delta-8, along with a strict cap on total THC per container. In practical terms, many Delta-8 products are being pushed out of the market. Terpene chews are unaffected, because they never contained THC to begin with. Learn more in are terpene chews legal. This is general information, not legal advice, and rules can change.

Which is for you

If you want a mild high, that is what Delta-8 was for, though its availability is narrowing. If you want the flavor and culture of cannabis strains with zero intoxication and none of the regulatory uncertainty, that is exactly what a terpene chew is. MONDAYS is firmly in the second camp.
