All of these are based an a hypothetical 'generic thc' that we can use as a base. delta 9 has a double bond on carbon 9 and 10, delta 8 has a double bond on carbon 8 and 9, delta 10 has a double bond on carbon 10 and 11. They are all so closely related that you'd probably still get a passing grade in high school chemistry for simply being able to identify any of them as thc. THC-O is identical to delta 9, except it has an additional acetate. HHC has no double bonds on the carbon ring, and instead has additional hydrogens. Delta-8 is roughly 70% as strong as delta-9, HHC has similar strength to delta-8, delta-10 is roughly 75% as effective as delta-9, and THC-O is roughly 120% as effective as delta-9 (though lasts for a shorter time) when it comes to effects. They all show up hot on a drug test for cannabis, because drug tests check the metabolites and they are all metabolized the same way.

How's an anecdote to start for Concerta? My fiancee takes it for ADHD, 54mg extended release and low dose Ritalin as PRN (though she rarely takes it). She's also a nurse, so has to take regular drug tests for work and when switching jobs. It always comes back hot for meth metabolites. Concerta is in the same amphetamine class as methamphetamine, though it has a lower risk for addiction. I'm not a pharmacist, so I apologize for a lack of detail on these drugs and how they work.
