Research on cannabis is expanding, and more recently, it has come to include the many potential uses of other cannabinoids. Of the 100 cannabinoids present in cannabis, you might be familiar with CBD (cannabidiol), THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabigerol), or CBC (cannabichromene).
Well, there’s a lesser-known cannabinoid, Delta 8 THC which is closely related to Delta 9 THC. The difference is in the biochemical structure and the effects. Delta 8 is also a psychoactive compound, but it does not cause paranoia, drowsiness, headaches, or anxiety commonly associated with Delta 9 THC.
Consequently, demand has caused a never-ending influx of Delta-8 carts in the market. Discerning quality is therefore challenging, especially with vendors trying to hype their products with false claims. Below you will find ways to enjoy delta 8 THC as a first-time or relatively experienced user. But first, an introduction to delta 8 THC.
This is a naturally occurring cannabinoid. But because it occurs in trace amounts in cannabis, it can be acquired synthetically from hemp CBD. In its production, the plant goes through specialized breeding, harvested, then taken through the supercritical CO2 extraction process, winterized, then decarboxylated to get the final product.
Extracts can then be vaporized with a dab rig or weed pen or infused in edibles or tinctures. Delta 8 THC can be the safest way for users to get high. Like the other cannabinoids, it works through the endocannabinoid system.
This happens by binding to CB1 receptors and can cause that high feeling associated with THC without trading off focus and calm. Therefore it can hand you control to be still productive and functional.
Want to have some fun, but do you have work tomorrow? Or do you suffer from a lack of appetite? Delta 8 THC can be a very potent appetite stimulant, better yet, it is a mild psychoactive agent, and it might not get you as stoned as its counterpart Delta 9 THC.
The product can be ideal for facilitating profound relaxation, euphoria, focus, and energy. It can also considerably help relieve the urge to vomit, especially one induced by prescribed medications. Delta 8 THC can propagate your brain’s growth and development and prevent many old-age brain diseases. It might also alleviate pain and act as an antitumor agent.
Cartridges can be pre-filled with delta-8 oil, or you can put the terpenes and oil yourself. Effects can occur in less than seven minutes and last for five to six hours, but that varies between users. This happens because smoking involves the direct delivery of THC into your bloodstream. Vaping is a great way to experience delta 8 THC because it’s discreet, classy and easy to use.
Cookies, gummies, and chocolate are some of the common delta 8 THC edibles. However, consuming edibles takes about 35 – 45 minutes to take effect because they have to be digested, absorbed, metabolized then transported to the brain before taking effect. The effects can last for six to eight hours.
During this stage, it is essential to be patient and not underestimate the potency of Delta 8 THC. Always work with your tolerance levels by increasing your doses gradually.
The best tinctures should be organic and contain cannabinoids, terpenes, and phytonutrients. It allows you to enjoy the widespread entourage effects within a few minutes. Tinctures come with a dropper, and a few drops are placed under the tongue, providing an onset of action in less than five minutes.
Smoking Delta 8 THC Flower
Although Delta 8 flower is not naturally occurring, hemp flowers can be infused with delta 8 THC distillate to make a smokable flower. If you like smoking, then this is the best way to experience delta 8 THC.
Although Delta 8 THC is different from its sister Delta 9 THC, it’s legality is still in a grey area. Make sure it’s allowed in your state before trying it. Delta 8 THC is a smooth operator when you want to get high. Apart from the occasional red eyes, this product’s side effect profile is more tolerable than Delta 9 THC. It can therefore be the ideal product for users to experiment with.
Tinctures, gummies, vaporizers or smokable Delta 8 THC flowers are some of the ways you can get to enjoy this product. Please take caution and adhere to your doctor’s advice before consumption.
Also, make sure to buy high-quality products from reputable and legally licensed distributors of delta 8 THC as it is still not regulated by the FDA. This is to reduce the chances of getting counterfeit or subpar products with contaminants that might put your health at risk.
