Delta 8 is one, of over 100, cannabinoids found in cannabis which includes both Hemp and Marijuana.  It is also know as Delta 8 THC, Δ-8 THC, Δ-8 Tetrahydrocannabinol, or Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol.  Delta 8 is psychoactive and is approximately 2 1/2 times less potent than Delta-9 THC, or more commonly referred to as just “THC”.

The answer is “Yes”, as high as a kite.  However, if you’re an avid pot smoker or take medical marijuana (Delta 9 THC), then you’ll notice some differences which I’ve addressed below.  One main misconception is because Delta 8 is less potent than Delta 9 that that you have to take more of a Delta 8 product than you would a marijuana product.  This, in most cases is incorrect.  Most Delta 8 products such as gummies, tinctures, or other edibles are formulated to a strength that’s the equivalent (or stronger) than a marijuana product.  Eg. 10mg Marijuana Gummy = 25mg Delta 8 gummy.  You only need to eat 1 gummy.   

One thing to remember about Delta 8 is that it will take longer to kick in.  With edibles, for example, it can take up to TWO HOURS to feel the effects.  

YES.  I repeat… YES, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY FAIL A DRUG TEST.   And by “most likely”, I mean to pass a standard urine analysis, a few days after taking delta 8, you’d have a better chance of winning the lottery.  

IF YOU HAVE A DRUG TEST COMING UP WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, DO NOT TAKE THIS, OR ANY, CANNABIS, HEMP, OR CBD PRODUCT.  PERIOD.  

The problem for cannabis users who get drug tested has always been how long THC of any kind stays in your system.  THC, including Delta 8 and Delta 9, stay in your system about 28 day with a half life around 2 weeks.  This can vary depending on how often you use, your fat content, physical activity, metabolism, and diet.  However, as a general rule of thumb, if you get drug tested, or have any possible chance of an upcoming drug test, don’t take any product with any type of THC.  This includes Full Spectrum CBD products which have less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.  Even a small amount like less than 0.3% (which won’t even get you high), if taken daily, can build up in your body to a level that is just like you just ate a real THC product.  

Depends on what state you’re in and what type of Delta 8 product you want to buy.  Our store will not ship to states where it is illegal.  Please see our blog for a detailed State by State guide to buying Delta 8.

21 years old.  No exceptions.  Although some states have not specified a required age, we believe you need to be 21 years old to purchase it from us.  (you will have to verify your identity prior to purchase so “Kids, if your reading this, don’t waste your time trying to buy Delta 8 from us, it won’t work.”

Both Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC are naturally occurring cannabinoids found in hemp.  Delta-9 THC, the most prevalent and well known cannabinoid in marijuana, is 2.5 times more potent than Delta 8.  

However, even though Delta 8 is less potent than the most prevalent THC (Delta-9) in marijuana, in a formulated product, you can simply use more Delta 8 to make a near identical product to a medical marijuana one.  For example, since Δ-9 is 2.5 times stronger than Δ-8 THC, to make a Δ-8 gummy that’s equivalent to a 10mg Δ-9 gummy, you’d have to use 25mg of Delta 8.

There are also several other noteable differences between Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC.

1. Delta 8 has a longer onset (it takes longer to kick in).  Sometimes it can take up to 2 hours for you to feel it.
2. Delta 8 has been reported to be a much “cleaner” high and some say it’s more “functional”, although I personally can’t function at all on Delta 8 except to use the TV remote.
3. Delta 8 is hemp-derived so it’s legal in over half of the USA where marijuana is still not available for recreational use.
