Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize the frequency of adverse effects where delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (D8-THC) was identified as a possible suspect drug in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
Methods: A case-series design was used.
Results: A total of 183 cases listed D8-THC as a suspect drug in FAERS as of June 30, 2021. The most common events included dyspnea, respiratory disorder, and seizure. The reporting odds ratios were consistently and significantly greater than 2, a 2-fold increase from 2019 to 2021, indicating a potential safety signal.
Conclusion: The first report of D8-THC, in the FAERS database, as a suspect drug appears to be in 2011. Overall, there are 183 total cases listing D8-THC as a suspect drug in the FAERS database as of June 30, 2021. Of the 183 cases, most were respiratory in nature.
