The overall prevalence of adverse events associated with delta-8-THC reported on r/Delta8 and FAERS were similar when analyzed by MedDRA System Organ Class. Note: each dot is the number of all AE reports associated with delta-8-THC labeled with each MedDRA SOC in FAERS (y-axis) or r/Delta8 (x-axis) divided by the total number of AE reports associated with delta-8-THC on FAERS (y-axis) or r/Delta8 (x-axis). For instance, 29.3% of all delta-8-THC AEs reports in the r/Delta8 sample and 27.9% of all delta-8-THC AE reports in FAERS were categorized as respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (highlighted in orange). The line represents the linear correlation in the prevalence of each SOCs between the two samples and is summarized with a Pearson’s r statistic. Abbreviations: AE = adverse event; r/Delta8 = a topically-focused Reddit forum known as a “subreddit” dedicated to discussions of delta-8-THC; FAERS = Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System; MedDRA = Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; SOC = MedDRA System Organ Class
