By now you've likely heard of delta-8. But when you first enter the world of hemp it can be intimidating looking at all of the terms and trying to decide which option is right for you and your needs. So what is delta-8 and why might it be right for you?



Put plainly, Delta-8 is a cannabinoid with a similar structure to its well-known cousin, Delta-9 THC. It has similar, yet milder effects that people often enjoy when looking to relax.



Here's what you need to know delta-8 as you decide whether it's right for you.

What is Delta-8 THC?

Delta-8 is a different type of THC that is found within the hemp plant. Similar to delta-9, its widely recognized cannabinoid known for its psychoactive properties, delta-8 has slight chemical differences that allow it to produce unique, generally milder effects.



Although it can be found in the cannabis plant, Delta-8 is only present at low concentrations naturally, 0.1% and lower. Since the concentration is so low in the plant, Delta-8 has to be produced by converting hemp-derived CBD to Delta-8 using acids and filtration.



Many people enjoy the effects of delta-8 because it delivers a powerful, uplifting effect that you can feel. We’ve also heard many stories of people using delta 8 to sleep better.


CBD vs Delta-8

Though CBD and Delta-8 are similar, they are vastly different.



The main difference between Delta 8 and CBD is the effects. Delta-8 can be strongly felt by most people. While its relaxing effects are felt differently by everyone, with appropriate dosing, users have reported a strong unwinding sensation and an instant mood boost.



Although Delta-8 does have less adverse effects than Delta-9, negative effects could still include drowsiness, red eyes, and dry mouth. Unlike CBD, Delta-8 should not be taken when driving or using heavy tools or machinery. As with any cannabinoid, consult with your physician before taking it and always start with a low dose.

Is Delta-8 Right for Me?

Delta-8 comes in many forms such as Delta 8 gummies, Delta 8 tinctures, Delta 8 edibles, and Delta 8 vapes that each offers its own unique experience for the user.



Users have reported that using edibles that are infused with Delta-8 seem to last longer and you get the full effects, starting with a low dosage gummy and working your way up might be the safest place to start if you are completely new to the world of hemp compounds. When it comes to Delta-8 serving, sit's best to always begin with a small amount and gradually work your way up as needed or desired.



It is important to keep in mind that no long-term studies have been done on Delta-8. Early research and anecdotal evidence suggests Delta-8 is safe and well-tolerated.



It's also important to note that those subject to drug testing should avoid using Delta-8. While the cannabinoid is federally legal, Delta-8 will show up on most drug tests because it is a type of THC. Most tests are unable to distinguish between Delta-8 and conventional Delta-9.



Keep in mind that you should always consult with your medical care provider before introducing anything into your wellness routine to ensure it’s right for you and your lifestyle.
