Key Takeaways

  • There is no rulebook for when to take delta 8 as people react differently to delta 8 THC.
  • Taking delta 8 at specific points during your day may give you a better chance of enjoying its effects and benefits.
  • While some people swear by taking delta 8 in the morning before they start their day, others prefer to consume theirs when they’re winding down before bed.

 

What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC, which may also be referred to as Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid that is found in hemp and cannabis plants. Even though delta 8 THC is naturally occurring, it usually occurs in small quantities. Therefore, concentrated amounts are typically produced from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD).

Like delta 9, the more popular THC, delta 8 is well known for producing a “high effect” and other user benefits. 

 

What are the Effects of Delta 8?

Research from users of Delta 8 reveals its many effects on the body and mind. They include:

It May Help Manage and Reduce Pain

Delta 8 possesses analgesic properties that make it an excellent source of pain relief. Generally, delta 8 THC is best for inflammatory pain. However, it will help deal with virtually everything else. 

It May Reduce Anxiety Symptoms

Delta 8 causes a feeling of relaxation and calm, which is excellent for dealing with anxious thoughts. Many users have reported feeling calmer after taking delta 8 THC. 

It May Help Reduce Nausea 

Users of delta 8 THC reveal that it is a great way to reduce nausea and deal with other digestive problems. 

It May Help with Imagination and Creativity 

The euphoria you get from delta 8 THC may help to inspire imagination and beauty in artists and creatives. As a result, some users take delta 8 when they suffer from a creative block.

 

What are the Side Effects of Delta 8 Gummies?

While delta 8 gummies have a lot of health benefits for individuals, research reveals that there can be specific side effects. These side effects are similar to the side effects that may be associated with delta 9 THC, and they include:

Hallucinations and Headaches

Delta 8 gummies may cause users to see strange visions or have headaches. These side effects usually occur when users take more delta 8 than the body can tolerate.

For instance, you shouldn’t eat too much of our Green Apple Sour Belt too fast.

Dry Mouth and Red Eyes 

Sometimes the after-effects of consuming delta 8 gummies include bloodshot eyes and dry mouth. These side effects may make users feel uncomfortable for some time. 

Anxiety and Paranoia

These side effects mainly occur in first-time users or individuals who use dosages exceeding their tolerance levels. Delta 8 gummies generally help users feel calmer and relaxed, but in specific scenarios, such as with a person already worried about using it, it may lead to even more anxiety.

Short-term Memory Loss

At times, the “high” from the gummies may be strong enough to make individuals forget some information. However, this side effect is typically temporal and will pass once the “high” dissipates. 

You should note that all these side effects are typically short-term and a result of more intake than the body can tolerate. 

 

What is the Best Time to Take Indica?

First off, the best time of the day to take indica varies from individual to individual, depending on several factors. 

For instance, if you’re trying to relax, it may be best to consume indica in the evening — say between 6 pm and 8 pm — when your body is already slowing down.

However, you could also take in small amounts during your peak period of activity during the day to destress from all your hard work. Such consumption times are effective because indica typically causes a relaxing and calming effect on your body. 

Nonetheless, the most important thing is still to study yourself and your schedule to choose the most effective times. 

 

What is the Best Time to Take Sativa?

Just like with the indica strain, no specific time of the day works for every individual when it comes to taking sativa. After all, various factors, such as tolerance level and schedule, can affect the best time for individuals. 

However, because sativa typically produces an uplifting and energetic effect in the body, we recommend that you take it early in the morning, around 7 or 8 am, before you get into your day (especially if your work is very physical). 

Doing this may give you the strength and enthusiasm to face the day’s tasks. Also, you can take it at midday if you need more concentration or energy.  

On the other hand, if you work better at night, it may be best to take sativa in the evening before getting to work. 

 

What is the Best Time to Take Delta 8?

Delta 8 can be taken at any time of the day, and the best time to take it depends on each individual and what they are looking to get out of it. 

For instance, if you are looking for inspiration and enthusiasm, it is best to take it early in the morning before heading into the day’s task. However, it would be best to avoid taking large doses if you take delta 8 in the morning.

On the other hand, if you’re taking delta 8 to deal with stress and anxiety, then midday may be a great time to take it. This is because the day’s tension typically begins to catch up around this time. Therefore, taking in your delta 8 gummies at this time may be a  great way to renew strength, enthusiasm, and inspiration. 

Furthermore, if the aim is to relax or deal with insomnia, then taking in delta 8 an hour before bed may be ideal. Doing this will help you relax and have a thorough sleep, which may be filled with dreams. When taking delta 8 at night, you may go for higher dosages (that your body can tolerate).

Lastly, some take delta 8 purely for fun. If this is you, you can take it at any time of the day, as long as it is not a time or at a dosage that will hinder your productivity. 

 

When Should You Avoid Taking Delta 8 THC?

There are specific scenarios and circumstances under which the best thing to do is to avoid delta 8 THC. They are:

If You Need to Drive

Not only is it illegal to be under the influence of delta 8 THC if you need to drive, but it is also unsafe for you and other road users. The feelings of euphoria you get from delta 8 may affect your ability to judge situations properly, which could lead to accidents.

Therefore, we advise that if you are going to drive in at least 2 hours’ time, you should avoid taking delta 8 THC. 

If You are Going to Work

Taking delta 8 just before going to work may not be the best decision as it can affect your decision-making abilities. Many employers frown at this and worry about it impairing employees’ decision-making. 

If You are Exhausted

When you are dealing with exhaustion and tiredness, avoid delta 8 and rest instead. This is because taking it may put you in a state of high that will prevent you from getting the rest you need. 

If You are Feeling Unmotivated

If you are feeling unmotivated already, we advise you to lay off delta 8 THC because the “low” that comes after the “high” may feel worse. Instead, you can do other activities that motivate you or rest a little. 

If You are on any Medication

While delta 8 is relatively safe, taking it while on some medications may result in adverse reactions. As a result, the best way to know whether a drug you are on will react negatively with THC is to ask a doctor. 

However, if you are on any of the following medications, you should avoid delta 8:

  • Anti-anxiety medications
  • Diuretics
  • Anti-epileptic medications
  • Heart medications
  • Prescription painkillers
  • Blood pressure medications
  • Blood thinners

 

The Final Verdict

The best time to take delta 8 THC varies from person to person. However, the general rule is to take it when it effectively functions in your body without disrupting your schedule or endangering your safety and others.

However, acquiring high-quality delta 8 products is the first step.
