Yes, Delta 8 THC provides a similar high to Delta 9 but with less intensity. It’s also considered more relaxing for both the mind and the body.

That being said, everyone is different, and the potency of delta-8 THC products may vary, so it’s recommended to err on the side of caution and start with a lower dose than you think you’ll need.

Delta 8 can be used in all the same ways delta-9 THC is used. It can be vaporized (see our delta-8 vape options), taken sublingually (see our delta-8 tinctures), or combined into edibles (see our delta-8 gummies). Each method offers its own set of pros and cons to consider.

While delta-8 THC is said to be less psychoactive, it’s still possible to go overboard and experience side effects. The most common adverse effects are feelings of sedation, bloodshot eyes, and dry mouth.

Start with a low dose first to assess your tolerance and avoid unwanted side effects.

Delta 8 THC became legal in most US states after the 2018 Farm Bill. As described by section 297A of the bill, “The term ‘hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”

Each state has its own laws regulating delta-8 THC — so make sure to explore the delta-8 laws in your state before you place an order.

Drug tests can’t distinguish between delta 9 THC and delta 8 THC due to their close chemical structure. Therefore, using delta-8 THC can result in a false positive test for THC, even if delta-8 THC is specifically legal where you live.

Yes, delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, including both hemp plants and marijuana plants. It forms as a natural byproduct as other cannabinoids break down into more stable compounds like D8 another unregulated cannabinoid called HHC.

The main difference between delta-8 and delta-9 THC lies in their chemical structures. Both exert similar intoxicating effects and can be extracted directly from the hemp plant.

More specifically, the difference between D8 and D9 is the location of a double bond between carbon atoms. This small difference makes delta-8 less potent than delta-9 but also more mellow and relaxing.

In terms of potency, delta-8 THC is roughly half as potent as delta-9. This problem is solved simply by doubling the dose of active delta-8. Our gummies contain high concentrations of D8 at just over 25 mg per individual piece.

HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is another alternative cannabinoid derived entirely from hemp plants.

The difference between these cannabinoids is the location of a double bond. Delta-8 features a bond on the eighth carbon atom, while HHC has no double bond whatsoever. The effects are very similar, with HHC being roughly 1.5X more potent than Delta-8.

Yes, delta-8 THC can make you fail a drug test. Most drug tests do not differentiate between delta-8 and other cannabinoids like delta-9 THC. Both compounds can trigger a positive result because they both metabolize into THC-COOH, which can be picked up on urine, blood, hair, and saliva drug tests.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling network found in the human body that interacts with various cannabinoids (including delta-8 THC).

The body’s endocannabinoid system plays a key role in regulating various functions, such as mood, appetite, and sleep, by producing its own cannabinoids called “endocannabinoids.” These hormone-like compounds bind to specific receptors in the brain and body to exert their effects.

Yes, several research teams have published high-profile studies involving delta-8 THC and its impact on the body’s endocannabinoid system. More research is needed to fully elucidate its impact on pain relief, stress, sleep, and a handful of different effects.

With that said, our products are not intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent any illness. Always speak to your health professional before taking delta-8 THC for any reason.
