Delta 8 THC, also called Delta-8, or simply D8, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the  cannabis plant that has become very popular these days because of its similarity to delta-9 THC, the main compound in cannabis that gets you high, causing euphoria, happiness, sedation, relief, and much more. Similar to our other products Delta 8 THC is derived  from non GMO pesticide free hemp grown on farms within the U.S. It is lab tested for purity, safety and quality.

Yes. Delta 8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid extracted from hemp plants. Hemp-derived Delta 8 THC  products containing less than 0.3% Delta 9 (THC) is legal in the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) thanks to the 2018 farm bill passed by Congress. As such delta 8 THC is not prohibited under federal law. Due to it not being regulated, you will want to research brands that are selling delta-8 to ensure products are tested by 3rd party labs not only for effectiveness but also for your safety.

Here you can compare the two compounds in a few ways. 

Chemical structure. From a chemical or structural perspective, delta-8-THC differs from delta-9-THC due to the location of a critical chemical bond. Both forms of THC contain double bonds in their molecular chain. Delta-8-THC contains that bond on the 8th carbon chain, while delta-9-THC contains the bond on the 9th carbon chain. Although it seems like a subtle difference, it has a major impact on the shape of these molecules. This shape directly determines how well the molecules are able to bind to the body’s endocannabinoid receptors. 

Molecular stability. Delta-9-THC is less stable than delta-8-THC. Delta-9-THC is easily oxidized to become cannabinol (CBN) or delta-8-THC. Delta-8-THC is stable, does not oxidize to become CBN, and boasts a prolonged shelf life. Such stability is desirable in a medicinal compound. 

Affinity for cannabinoid receptors. Delta-8-THC, when inhaled, binds to the CB1 receptor like delta-9-THC, but its affinity for the receptor is different due to its slightly altered molecular structure and related shape. The CB1 receptor is responsible for mediating most of the psychotropic effects of THC. This differential binding may be responsible for delta-8-THC’s reportedly producing a clearer high with less anxiety than delta-9-THC. It’s also possible that delta-8-THC’s molecular structure affects how it interacts with other receptors and neural pathways.

Effects from consumption. Plenty of clinical and anecdotal evidence points to delta-9-THC having intoxicating effects when consumed via inhalation or ingestion. We know much less about the effects of delta-8-THC. Some say delta-8-THC produces a milder, clearer high than delta-9-THC even at higher doses. However, pharmacologically, delta-8-THC edibles function very similarly to delta-9-THC edibles, with both molecules converting into 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver. Because there is so much we have yet to learn about delta-8-THC, and because the effects are very different depending on whether it’s ingested or inhaled, it’s wise to treat these products with the same caution you would treat THC products.

Delta-8 has more similarities to THC (delta-9) than CBD, both in its chemical structure and because it gets you high. Delta-8 THC binds to the body’s endocannabinoid system more like delta-9 THC. Although CBD provides many medicinal benefits, it is non-intoxicating, and non-psychoactive. Consumers never have to worry about getting “high” using CBD. 

If you are looking for effects similar to THC but with a reduced potency, delta-8 may be for you. If you seek relief from certain symptoms and don’t want to get intoxicated, you may want to try our premium CBD products instead.

The onset effects vary from person to person based on the individual – tolerance, metabolic rate, health, weight, diet, and other biological factors. Typically the onset can range anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour – when you begin to feel the effects of the product. 

Again, it’s important to note that more research needs  to been done on delta-8. How strong its effects are, and how it affects the body – as with any cannabis product may vary. The chemical profile of the cannabis, your body’s chemistry, your tolerance level, and the amount you take all affect how you will feel. 

We always suggest – start by taking a little bit at first, so if it’s the D8 Gummies half of a chew, and wait for the onset of effects before taking more. The consumption method will affect how quickly you feel those effects. If you’re vaping delta-8, you should feel the effects within ten minutes or less; if taking edibles, wait at least an hour or two before taking more.

Many factors can dictate the length of our Delta 8 THC effects—tolerance, metabolism, and servings consumed, to name a few. Generally speaking, the benefits of Delta 8 products  can last between two to eight hours.

Consumers of Intentional CBD Delta 8 products report many of the same psychoactive effects of THC(delta-9), including euphoria, uplifting, pain relief, help users with sleeplessness, and more although the cannabinoid is less potent. 

Side effects may be similar to those of THC, including dry mouth, red eyes, getting the munchies, short-term memory, or paranoia. It’s important to note that delta-8 hasn’t been studied extensively and more research is needed on the effects it has on the mind and body.

**Disclaimer:  For Adults 21+ only! We do not recommend these products to persons who are sensitive or cannot tolerate D8 THC of any form or it’s effects. Effects vary from person to person based on individual biological characteristics. Proceed with caution.***
