What Are Delta 8 Gummies

If you are new to the cannabis scene, delta 8 gummies might sound like some weird flubber experiment from a chem lab. And it sort of is, but let’s break it down into parts to understand how these gummies work.

The delta 8 part means it has a psychoactive compound called delta 8-tetrahydrocannabinol, or delta 8 THC. Sometimes it is also abbreviated as D8 THC. This cannabinoid has milder psychoactive properties than regular THC, has fewer reported side effects, and is compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill regulating cannabis production.

The gummy part is easy, as they are literally cannabis-infused candy. By using D8 THC distillate, the gummy is either made or covered with the oil to give the psychoactive properties to the candy.

This results in discreet products that can get you high and are processed through your digestive system, which have wellness and recreative effects.

 

Do Delta 8 THC Gummies Get You High

The short answer is yes, products with delta 8 THC will get you high. This kind of gummies is infused with distillate that has D8 THC, resulting in an intoxicating effect commonly referred to as being high. 

Delta 8 has plenty of other benefits as well. It can help with pain relief, improve your mood, and complement treatment for stress and anxiety.

However, when compared to D9 THC, studies like this one from 2022 noted that the patients enjoyed similar benefits of using D8 THC. These patients also perceived a milder experience in general and fewer side effects, although research is still needed to understand the cannabinoid better.

 

Is Delta 8 THC Psychoactive

Yes, delta 8 THC is a psychoactive compound that binds to the CB1 receptors of our nervous system. This makes the compound psychoactive, as it alters our neuroreceptors.

Even so, delta 8 has been found to interact and bind to a third part of what regular THC can do. This is why the consumption of this compound might be associated with a milder high while still being a psychoactive chemical.

 

Is Delta 8 Intoxicating

Also yes, delta 8 THC is an intoxicating compound that modifies how our nervous system usually works.

However, there is still much to be researched about this cannabinoid, and evidence suggests it has fewer adverse effects on our system compared to other compounds like regular THC. 

 

What Does The Delta 8 High Feel Like

While delta 8 does get you high, the effects vary from what people usually think of when feeling intoxicated or with other cannabinoids. Most users report feeling euphoric and relaxed while trying the cannabinoid.

Other users reported effects, including a head and body buzz without feeling groggy. This is something interesting about D8 since it has been reported to give a clear-headed feeling and even a mood-lift, associating the feeling with sativa-like experiences.

 

How Strong Are Delta 8 Gummies

Delta 8 gummies can be pretty strong, depending on the dosage. While it is associated with a milder high, you can also enjoy the benefits of the entourage effect with the correct dose and method.

While smoking or vaping D8 will probably get you high with some delightful cerebral buzz, edibles, in general, tend to be more potent as they are metabolized through the liver. This results in more D8 THC available for absorption, which is also true for other cannabinoids that bind to the proteins of our system.

This means that delta 8 gummies will probably feel stronger than smoking and can make you feel relaxed and sleepy. That might also depend if you have an empty stomach or not, and as gummies are easily digestible, the available D8 THC might be more easily absorbed.

We always recommend starting low in dosage, following the suggested use in each package, and modifying it as you feel fit. And if you are to try edibles for the first time, start small always and never eat with an empty stomach the first time.

 

Is Delta 8 Less Potent Than THC?

As stated above, there’s a study in 2022 that confirms that delta 8 has lesser intoxicating effects than regular THC. This, however, also results in fewer adverse effects like grogginess, red eyes, dry mouth, and nausea.

The study also noted that the entourage effect of this compound might potentiate the benefits of other cannabinoids in the mix, making CBD and other added cannabinoids stronger as well. So if you feel like the dosage is low, you might want to try products with multiple cannabinoids as an option.

In the end, you can always adjust the dosage of this cannabinoid if you are using it recreationally. Still, we do, however, recommend starting with small doses at first to understand how your body reacts to it first.

 

Are Delta 8 Gummies Sativa Or Indica

While the effects of sativa or indica plants depend significantly on the strain and the cannabinoid content, the general reported feeling for delta 8 THC is similar to a sativa strain. 

This is because users report a mental-based high that keeps you alert, opposite of what indica strains usually feel, with their deep muscle relaxation and fogginess.

 

Are Delta 8 Gummies Synthetic?

Short answer, no. 

While gummies are made with the utmost care and lab-certified, the distillate added to the mix is fully natural and hemp-derived. 

At Delta Munchies, we use natural ingredients to create high-quality gummies you can enjoy anytime.
