Delta-8 is a milder form of THC. Delta-9 provides a powerful psychoactive euphoric high, but Delta-8 has far less potency and completely different effects. Because this cannabinoid is not as dominant, it provides users with a calmer experience.

The cannabis plant is full of flavorful terpenes and cannabinoids. The most commonly discussed cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The form of THC that causes the psychoactive effects is called Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 THC is found naturally in the hemp plant and extracted to add to products such as tinctures, gummies, and flower.

There is no universal answer to how much hemp-derived Delta-8 you should consume. If it’s your first time trying edibles with Delta-8 THC from hemp, do not eat the entire “unit.” For example, if you are trying gummies or edible for the first time, you should not eat a whole gummy or edible. Instead, cut it up into smaller pieces, see where it takes you, and then decide where you want to go from there.

The answer is complicated. However, it’s best to avoid taking Delta 8 if you think you have a drug test coming up. Delta-8 THC does produce the same byproducts as Delta-9 THC and can lead to false-positive testing.

Gummies don’t always do well in hot climates. If your gummies have melted into a (delicious) singular gummy blob, a quick remedy is to place them in the freezer for up to 1 hour. Once cold, open the bag and you should be able to easily pull the gummies apart. Precise dosing requires a gram scale.
