About Delta 8

Delta 8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that naturally occurs in marijuana and hemp plants. It has a chemical structure similar to its close relative delta 9, which is also known as THC, the compound that induces a high. As delta 8 is present in lower concentrations in cannabis plants, and has lower levels of THC compared to delta 9, earning it the nickname "marijuana-lite."

Although delta 8 contains THC at a much lower level than delta 9, it still produces a mild euphoria. However, with a milder high also come less potent side effects. You won’t experience paranoia or anxiety with delta 8 edibles.

Did You Know: Delta 8 has recently surged in popularity following its technical legalization under the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized all hemp-derived products for distribution and consumption.

Dosing Delta 8 Edibles

Although dosing can be tricky to pinpoint because it depends mainly on specific variables that vary from body to body, such as weight and tolerance, the consensus is that it’s best to start small and work your way up to the perfect high for you. Reaching this sweet spot can be a little bit of work—you want that friendly, warm feeling of THC, but you don’t want to be left idle and baked beyond cognitive ability.

Researchers have estimated that dosages can be divided into three tiers of tolerance for consumers:

Another way to measure how much delta 8 you need to feel mild or more potent side effects is your body weight:

Remember: While these estimates are efficient in theory, they’re ultimately just estimates. Delta 8 edibles dosage depends on individual bodies, and no one knows your body quite like you do.

The Differences Between Delta 8 Edibles and CBD Edibles

The main distinction between delta 8 and CBD is the buzz — though it’s not the only difference. Delta 8 has psychoactive properties, CBD does not, so the latter is recommended to those who want all the benefits of cannabinoids without the mind buzz that often comes with them. 

Additionally, delta 8 and CBD have some well-document differences:

How Do Delta 8 Edibles Work?

You may have heard that edibles — such as delta 8 edibles — take longer to kick in than oils or vapes. But why? Well, this is due to the metabolic process food goes through when entering our bodies. Unlike vaping or smoking, which vacuum the delta 8 directly into the lungs, munching on an edible creates a much longer path—approximately lasting two hours—for delta 8 before it can start giving you a buzz.

So how do delta 8 edibles work?

• Step One: Get Snacky. After traveling down your esophagus, the edible lands in your stomach.
• Step Two: Digestion. Once in the stomach, the treat is digested and broken down into parts by acids and enzymes.
• Step Three: Absorption. After being broken down, the THC is absorbed through your stomach lining before making its way to the liver.
• Step Four: Welcome to the liver. After arriving to the liver, the delta 8 THC is transformed into 11-hydroxy-THC, a much more potent form of THC than delta 8 and delta 9.

Because 11-hydroxy-THC is much stronger than other types of THC, it can cross the blood-brain barrier much faster than THC that’s been inhaled and is likely to produce much more potent side effects that can last up to 8 hours. Whether you start with delta 8 or delta 9 in your system, your liver takes on the role of transforming it into 11-hydroxy-THC, which is why eating edibles results in a much stronger and longer-lasting high than other methods. Additionally, it’s also the reason a drug test may pick up the delta 8 you ingested and cause a positive test result.

Taking delta 8 edibles is a wonderfully delicious way to put your inner body systems to work; these special munchies give you all the benefits of delta 8 accompanied by a banging buzz that you’re not likely to forget soon!
