Delta 8 THC is actually CBD, but it has been converted with specific chemicals, which give it the mild psychoactive effect characteristic of this compound.
Not only is Delta 8 mildly psychoactive, but it can improve cognitive function. It promotes clarity, alertness, and gives focus, unlike Delta 9 THC. Delta 8 THC can also help with various health conditions, in addition to improving overall wellbeing. It is a great relaxant, promoting quality sleep.
Delta 9 is renowned for the 'stoned' effect it imparts. Also known on the street as 'pot', 'grass', 'green', 'Mary Jane', 'reef', 'smoke', and others, it is also widely illegal. There can be harsh penalties for breaking the laws around Delta 9, which include the banned cultivation, possession, use, or supply of this compound. However, the laws around Delta 9 vary from country to country, and in some cultures it is used openly.
The laws around Delta 8 are presently in somewhat of a grey area. This is mainly due to the psychoactive effects Delta 8 gives, albeit mild. Nevertheless, Delta 8 is a by-product of CBD, and CBD has been classed as a legal compound because it is derived from hemp. Although the grey area exists, there is a massive online presence of Delta 8 products, sales of which do not appear to be slowing down any time soon.
One of the most popular Delta 8 products are gummies. They are the fruity, chewy, treats that are dosed with Delta 8 THC. Each gummy is evenly dosed with between 10-40mg of Delta 8. They are a versatile and convenient way to supplement and address specific ailments, or just promote relaxation and wellbeing.
Gummies take between 30 minutes to 1 hour to take effect. Of course this will depend on the individual. Physiological factors such as height, weight, gender, medication, etc. should be considered, as sometimes these can alter the psychoactive effect. The best advice is to take one gummy at a time. This will show the true strength for an individual, and dosage can be adjusted from there.
