JWH-138 (THC-Octyl, Δ-THC-C8) is a synthetic cannabinoid first synthesized by Roger Adams and studied heavily by John W. Huffman, with a Ki of 8.5nM at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. THC-Octyl and its hydrogenated analog HHC-Octyl was synthesized and studied by Roger Adams as early as 1942.

Isomers

Δ-THC-C8
Δ-THC-C8 (tetrahydrocannabioctyl), CAS# 2552798-63-5

The Δ/Δ isomer was synthesised in 1941, but was found to be slightly less active than Δ-THC itself. The alternate isomer Δ-THC-C8 has also been synthesised, and both the Δ and Δ isomers are included within the definition of an "intoxicating cannabinoid" in Colorado under the name tetrahydrocannabioctyl, but it is unclear if it has been identified as a natural product. Tetrahydrocannabioctyl is sometimes referred to as THC-Octyl or THC-O, which may cause confusion with THC-O-acetate which is commonly known as THC-O on packaging for grey market vaping liquids sold for use in humans.
