If you want to know more about how long delta 8 THC will stay in your system, in this article, we’ll deep dive into how D8 THC affects your body, how long could it stay, which factors to look out for, and our tips that could help you flush it out of your system.

Looking for an unforgettable edible? Delta Munchies has you covered.

How Does Delta 8 Affect The Body

Delta 8 THC is a compound related to delta 9 THC, commonly referred to as regular THC. Both have similar composition and will have several effects similar to smoking the cannabis plant we already know and love.

While being a little milder on the psychoactive part, delta 8 can still affect your body in various ways. 

Besides the milder euphoric high when compared to D9, some of the effects that can affect your body are:

  • Help with muscle relaxation.
  • Help with pain relief and inflammation.
  • Help you get a better night’s rest and fight external factors for insomnia.
  • Increase your sex drive.
  • Raise appetite and help accelerate your metabolism.

While the effects of these cannabinoids might vary from one person to another, you can find that D8 has some of the best benefits from its siblings D9 and CBD. These effects also apply to edibles such as gummies or candy in general.

 

Duration of Delta 8 Effects

Other factors that might change how long these effects last are how much you consume at a time and the method you use. The duration of the effect might also vary depending on whether it is through vaping, smoking, or even different types of edibles.

The duration of these effects depends mainly on the method of consumption, but much research is still needed. 

While the effects of smoking or vaping D8 THC can last up to 2 hours, enjoying a cannabis-infused drink or edible can last between 4 and 8 hours, depending on your metabolism.

Some products like edibles also depend on something oily to bind to when processed through your digestive system, hence why some people enjoy them with an empty stomach for a stronger sensation.

We only recommend this if you want a longer and stronger effect and if you are already an experienced user.

Other edibles like candies are meant to dissolve in your mouth slowly and will mainly be absorbed through your mouth’s mucose. Those can take effect as early as 15-30 minutes but are processed faster than other edibles.

 

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay In Your System

Delta 8 will stay in your body depending on several factors. These include how tolerant you are already to THC, the size and frequency of your dosage, and overall metabolism. 

So if you are past the point of looking how not to smell like weed, you’ll maybe want to know how much time you have before a drug test.

While this varies from person to person, it all comes down to how your body metabolizes D8 THC, your exercising habits, and even your diet. That said, delta 8 can stay in your system for up to 30 days, depending on several factors that might influence the cannabinoid staying in your system.

 

Factors That Influence Delta 8 Staying In Your System

Some factors could influence D8 THC staying a little bit longer in your system. These include how frequently you use cannabis products, how fast or slow your metabolism is, and even if you take higher dosages when consuming delta 8.

Now let’s explore each of the factors to understand how they could influence or help THC stay more time in your body.

 

Frequency Of Delta 8 Use

If you are a regular cannabis consumer, you might develop a tolerance to some of its compounds, including D8 THC. This could also be affected by the type of cannabinoids you consume, how many times a day, and even if you smoke or consume cannabis orally.

Because of this, delta 8 might take longer as the prolonged consumption can make it build up in your system. This could also go in hand if you consume it in large quantities or higher dosages, as it will stay for a prolonged time in your system.

 

Metabolism

This might be a little tricky, as it depends on age, height, weight, and how your body reacts to the compound. If your body can process and metabolize quickly, it is more likely for D8 to leave your body swiftly as well.

Younger people, in general, can process some chemical compounds. As our bodies get older, your metabolic system tends to slow down, making it a little harder for D8 to leave your body.

Your body composition can also affect how you process cannabis. The larger your body mass, the more chemicals it might need to feel intoxicated. For example, a larger individual could have a greater endurance towards chemicals.

 

Dosage Size 

How much you consume at a time can also influence D8 crashing your place a little longer. The bigger the dosage, the longer it will stay in your body.

This might be thanks to the traces of D8 building up as you consume larger doses, more puffs, or switch from vaping to edibles.

 

How Long Will Delta 8 Stay In Your Urine

While it can depend on several factors, delta 8 has been reported to stay up to 30 days in your system. Most drug tests nowadays look for metabolites or traces of D8 THC.

These can stay in your system for up to 90 days, but luckily tests can only detect them for a few days. 

Another extra factor about urine tests is hydration, as a correct water intake could help with metabolites build up.

 

How Long Will It Take To Pass A Drug Test

Now, if you are expecting to take a test soon, you might want to know how long will it take to pass it. These might depend on many factors, including the ones stated above, but let’s explore the general time for each of the usual tests used to detect THC.

 

Urine Test 

These tests usually focus on the metabolite build-up and can only detect between 5 through 10 days of consumption. However, delta 8 can stay up to 30 days in your urine, and some cases have found traces for up to 48 days. 

 

Blood Test

Blood tests are way more precise in how they can detect THC, thanks to traces in our bloodstream. Don’t fret though, as they usually can only detect up to three days after your last use for average consumers.  

 

Saliva Test

Similar to how blood tests work, as a general estimate, saliva tests can only detect up to two to three days after your last consumption.

It is also fair to say that the numbers above are just estimates, and the factors we stated above can prolong or shorten the duration of D8 THC in your body.

 

How Fast Does Delta 8 Leave Your System

This is a tricky answer, as it depends on many external factors. 

Nevertheless, as a general rule of thumb, you’ll flush out most of the delta 8 THC after 30 days of your last consumption. If you have to take a test, it is recommended to wait for at least one to two weeks before having your sample analyzed.

We understand that sometimes these tests are not something you prepare for. Hence depending on the test, you might want to be conscious that your system might hold up traces in hair follicles for up to three months.

 

How to Flush Delta 8 THC Metabolites From Your System

Now, while we can not guarantee these methods will work for everyone, here are a few tips to help you metabolize faster and flush delta 8 THC out from your system. 

Also, understand that none of these factors are foolproof, and most are things that you might also want to do as part of your general wellbeing.

 

Hydration

Drinking lots of water could help in the process of literally flushing out D8 THC. With lots of water passing through your system, it can help dilute the THC metabolites (traces) in your system.

 

Organic Food Diet

A diet rich in fiber and protein could also help to accelerate your metabolism in general by flushing down the unwanted chemicals.

Avoid products that might irritate your digestive system, like spicy or greasy food, and pile up your fruits and greens to get things moving faster (literally).

Staying with organic food can also be a good idea, as sometimes the chemicals used in transgenic products can take time to metabolize. Hence, it might be a good idea to hit up your farmer’s market to get cleaner produce.

 

Exercise

You might have heard the runner’s high, but, in general, exercise and keeping yourself active will improve your body’s metabolism rate. While there’s not enough research if you can sweat down delta 8 THC, exercise can help your body’s capability to process chemicals.

 

Abstinence

While this might sound obvious, the best way to flush out THC is abstinence. Sometimes taking a break can also help you lower your tolerance, so you can look at it as a way of getting high with less.

In the end, only time can help you to kick D8 THC from your system, so having a small pause can always help.
