Collection: Delta 8 Gummies

You may have heard about one of the newer hemp products to hit the shelves, Delta 8 THC. While not as popular in marijuana legal states, Delta 8 THC products have been taking off in states where marijuana is banned since it is considered federally legal under the current verbage of the 2018 Farm Bill regarding hemp cultivation, though still in a gray area. Delta 8 THC comes in the form of dry herb, edibles, dabs, vape pens, and more and is believed by users to have the same health benefits as marijuana when that’s not readily available. Delta 8 THC also produces the same psychoactive effects such as uplifting and happy feelings, and euphoria, though it’s much milder and less potent. If you’re interested in learning more about cannabinoids, how Delta 8 THC is made, exactly what it is, and the current laws regarding this new hemp product, you’re in for a treat. We’ll also talk a little bit about its effects and the proper dosage for those who are experimenting with Delta 8 THC and don’t know where to start. At the end of the article, we’ve listed some of the best Delta 8 gummies for sale so you can get them shipped straight to your doorstep and give it a try for yourself.

What is Delta 8 THC?

If you smoke, but don’t know anything about the cannabis plant, you actually already have experience with cannabinoids. There are believed to be over 100 of these chemical compounds that are naturally produced by cannabis and are responsible for many of its desirable effects and health claims associated with its use. Two of the most sought after and well-known cannabinoids are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), but Delta 8 THC is also a cannabinoid, though it’s found in much lower levels (more on that later). The regular THC from marijuana that you know of also goes by the name of Delta-9. Delta-8 THC will get you high and has similar psychoactive effects to normal THC such as a body and head high, buzzing feeling, and euphoria, but is much less potent. That also means negative effects like anxiety and paranoia are also much less severe. The effects of both types of THC last the same amount of time so you don’t have to worry about Delta 8 THC going away quicker. If you smoke Delta 8 THC or normal dry herb, you’ll have effects for roughly an hour, while consuming Delta 8 gummies or regular weed edibles will have you buzzing for a few hours or more depending on the dose.

Marijuana and THC products derived from the plant such as dabs or vape oil are still illegal federally and categorized as a Schedule I drug alongside heroin and LSD. Delta 8 THC rose in popularity after the 2018 Farm Bill was passed by president Trump, which legalized hemp cultivation and hemp derived products such as hemp fiber for clothes and rope as well as CBD products throughout the U.S. Just like regular THC, Delta 8 THC can be extracted from marijuana plants, but are almost always derived from legal hemp plants, which bypasses state and federal laws concerning marijuana.

How is Delta 8 THC made?

Unlike normal THC, Delta 8 THC is produced by the plant in trace amounts. There is no such thing as a high Delta-8 cannabis strain. Because of this, it needs to be artificially created and is often considered an artificial or synthetic THC product, which puts some people off. But Delta 8 THC is made by first extracting natural CBD or sometimes Delta-9 THC from hemp, which is then changed into Delta 8 THC at the molecular level. This chemical conversion process is known as isomerization or cannabinoid conversion. Essentially, it is one step further than CBD, which can add to the cost.

The process of making Delta 8 THC starts with creating CBD isolate that contains at least 98% CBD with all other cannabinoids and terpenes stripped away. The extraction process is normally done using a solvent such as ethanol or butane, or by CO2 extraction. Once the CBD isolate is obtained, it is further processed using a non-polar solvent like heptane combined with an acid that will cause the chemical reaction and convert the cannabinoids from CBD to Delta-8 THC. This step takes roughly 3 hours of constant mixing and is sometimes heated as well. The mixture is then neutralized to stop the conversion process and cleaned so any residue is removed from the final product. Finally, Delta-8 THC undergoes third party lab testing for cannabinoids and contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides to ensure the quality and safety of the product.

Why do people use Delta 8 THC products?

• Legal across the U.S. at the federal level, but some states are beginning to ban Delta 8 products (check the most updated information from your state).
• Easy to acquire without having to go into a dispensary or obtain a medical marijuana card.
• Similar effects as normal THC products and flower.
• Less potent psychoactive effects than marijuana.
• Fewer negative effects associated with THC such as anxiety and paranoia.
• Lots of products to choose from including Delta 8 THC gummies, flower, pre-rolls, vape pens, dabs, and more!

Are Delta 8 gummies legal?

When it comes to federal and state legality, Delta 8 THC is in somewhat of a hazy gray area. This is because there are many laws regarding marijuana, but hardly any that mention Delta-8 THC or other products derived from legal hemp, which makes it very difficult for consumers and turns off a lot of people from trying and using it. As previously mentioned, the 2018 Farm Bill made the cultivation of hemp federally legal, but the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is trying to add Delta 8 THC to the list of Schedule I substances like marijuana, which would make it illegal at the federal level. Currently the bill states that all hemp products need to have less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC and Delta 8 THC does not contain any Delta 9, therefore making it legal. The new ruling hasn’t been passed yet and currently all hemp derived Delta 8 THC products and CBD products that are extracted from legal hemp plants under the Farm Bill are available to U.S. adults for recreational use. Anyone can legally buy Delta-8 gummies online or at dispensaries, smoke shops, and convenience stores like they would with cigarettes.

While there are very few state laws that directly mention Delta 8 THC, there are some states that have not adopted the original Farm Bill language regarding the cannabinoid and most online head shops such as ours won’t ship to these states just to err on the safe side. Some states such as Colorado have legalized recreational marijuana, but don’t allow Delta-8 THC. Be sure to check your specific state regulations. Our online smoke shop and many others won’t ship to:

• Colorado
• Connecticut

• Idaho
