Is Delta-8 the Same as CBD?

Do all these crazy cannabinoids and acronyms make you feel like you’re back in 10th-grade chemistry class (MAJOR YIKES)? Well, take a deep breath and put that pencil down. We’ve got all the answers to your burning delta-8 questions, so you can confidently experiment with cannabinoids, particularly the dank delights we use in our THC products. If you’re ready to try some incredible legal cannabis creations and find your delta dream products, just read below to become a green genius in minutes. Oh, and no, delta-8 is definitely not the same thing as CBD, but they are relatives. As you’ll see below, both of these compounds are cannabinoids. But delta-8 has more in common with delta-9 THC than it does CBD, thanks to its psychoactive effects. Read on, Spacefarers, to learn more!

What Is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid with a huge amount of potential therapeutic benefits. Unlike its party-hard cousins, delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC, CBD does not produce an intoxicating effect when consumed. CBD is non-psychoactive and CBD products can be used daily for their health and wellness benefits. If you’re looking for help improving your overall wellness, relaxing, falling asleep faster, or help with minor pain, CBD is your guy. If you love to double-dip (and who doesn’t?), you can experience the benefits of both CBD and delta 9 THC in one mouth-watering bite with our Peach Pear Delta 9 Gummies. This rad combo of cannabinoids guarantees an out-of-this-world experience!

CBD vs Delta-8

As we mentioned above, good old CBD does not have any psychoactive effects and consumers generally look to CBD for its extensive health and wellness benefits. THC products, like those containing delta-8 THC, are used recreationally for their psychoactive effects, not their health benefits, and can get you baked big time. Both CBD and delta-8 THC are harvested by our team of legal cannabis experts from the hemp plant. Although CBD, delta-8 THC, and a bunch of other cool cannabinoids can also be harvested from the other cannabis plant, marijuana, products from that plant can land you a potential spanking from the law, as recreational marijuana products are not legal federally. So, we’re keeping it legal beagle and harvesting all of our CBD and delta-8 THC products from the leafy hemp plant. You can rest assured that all of our delta products are Uncle Sam-approved and in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill! 

Last, but not least for our legal cannabis Venn diagram, both delta-8 THC and CBD can be enjoyed with a variety of products, like edibles (such as gummies), vapes, cartridges, pre-rolls, flower, and more! No matter what kind of delta products you’re looking for, you’ll definitely be able to find your dream delta product here at TREࠢ House!

Why Is Delta-8 Legal?

Hemp prohibition ended with the 2018 Farm Bill, which made it federally legal to farm hemp across the United States and create hemp-derived products. Hemp-derived cannabis products and cannabinoids became more accessible after the passage of this crucial law, unlike heavily regulated delta 9 THC (boooo). The other cannabis plant, marijuana, is sadly still not federally legal, but you can still enjoy the buzzy psychoactive effects from hemp-derived delta-8 THC in most states with our delicious products. So, let freedom ring and gobble down those delectable delta-8 THC gummies and edibles! (Check with local law enforcement for legislation that may apply in your area.)

Which Is Stronger: Delta-8 or Delta 10?

Both delta-8 THC and delta 10 THC are pretty dank, but if you’re looking for maximum blast-off, you’re gonna wanna go with delta-8 THC. That being said, everyone’s body reacts differently to cannabinoids, so it’s impossible to say which form of THC will deliver the most mind-melting experience before you try it. Your experience with delta-8 THC and delta 10 THC totally depends on your own personal body chemistry. Although most cannabis consumers feel that delta-8 THC and delta 10 THC are more mild than delta 9 THC, we recommend starting slow with less than the recommended dose listed on the back of most THC products. That way, you can ease your way in, nice and gentle instead of getting lost in space immediately.

Also, remember when you compare cannabinoids, it’s not always a 1-to-1 thing. Just because the effects of one cannabinoid might be stronger than another, it doesn’t mean you can’t load up more of a particular cannabinoid in a product to send you soaring into the stratosphere!

Popular THC Products to Try

The best thing about legal cannabis and hemp-derived cannabinoids is all the products at your disposal. You’ll never be starved for choice when it comes to THC products! The cannabis industry is always working on creating new formulas, new products, and new flavor profiles to try. So, feel free to order new products every month and write that you work in cannabis research on your resume. I mean, it’s not not true.

Edible THC Products

Edibles infused with THC are a no-brainer. If you can eat a gummy all by yourself, you are already an expert when it comes to enjoying THC gummies. As we said before, definitely approach THC gummies with caution and start slowly, so you can figure out how your body reacts to different cannabinoids. We don’t want you to get caught up by the delta devil!

If you’re looking to experiment purely with delta-8 products, we have some yummy gummy delta-8 THC options for you. Enjoy the uplifting effects of delta 8 THC and the juicy flavor of strawberry with our Strawberry Delta-8 Gummies.

If this mind-melting cannabis formulation sounds right up your alley, but you’re not a fan of strawberries, you can get that same serving of 25mg of delta-8 THC per serving with our Mango Delta-8 Gummies. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try our high-potency Blue Raspberry Delta-8 Gummies, with a whopping 100mg of dank delta 8 per serving!

Packed with delta-8 THC, HHC, THC P, and CBD, these potent THC gummies will get you super baked. Products that feature multiple cannabinoids, like delta-8 THC, delta 9 THC, and THC P, tend to be even more potent as they induce the Entourage Effect. Without getting into the weeds, the Entourage Effect occurs when multiple cannabinoids work together to increase each other’s potency. Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say!

THC Vapes

You can also enjoy the wild psychoactive effects of delta-8 THC with THC vapes!

Cannabis Concerns

The last thing we want our legal cannabis consumers to feel is stressed out!

Does Delta-8 Show Up on Drug Tests?

So, as we’ve said before, all of our delta-8 THC products are in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill, ensuring the legal status of our products in most states. However, most rudimentary drug tests have not kept up with the times, sadly. A drug test may detect delta-8 THC particles in your sample, but it will be unable to tell if the delta-8 it’s flagging comes from legal cannabis products or from illegal cannabis (Mary Jane!). So, if you’ve got a date anytime soon with a drug test or lab, it’s best to skip the delta-8 THC for now.

How Long Does Delta-8 Stay in Your System?

The answer to this question depends on your own bioavailability, how often you use delta-8 products, and how much delta-8 THC you consume. Generally, after a single use, delta-8 THC is detectable in your urine for around a week. Consumers who use delta-8 products up to three times per week will usually need about 14 days for delta-8 THC to clear out of their system. If you’re enjoying dank, delicious delta-8 THC daily (or have a high percentage of body fat), you should abstain from these products for at least 30 days in order to test negative for delta-8 THC usage.

What Is the Strongest Cannabinoid?

Alright, alright. You’re looking to get to the moon and back with THC: We get it and we salute you! While delta-8 THC is well worth trying, you might wanna pencil in THC P into your weekend plans. THC P is derived from delta 9 THC and is often referred to as the most potent cannabinoid compound on the market. THC P is a trippy cannabinoid that has the potential to be stronger than even classic delta 9 THC. If you’re tempted by THC P, try our wild White Widow Hybrid Live Resin THC P Vape Pen for 2 grams of delta-8 THC and THC P-infused puffs. Not a fan of vaping? Enjoy THC P with our multiple cannabinoid-blended Tropic Mango Delta-8 Gummies.

Even More Tempting THC Selections

Although we love to play THC teacher, you’ve gotta be a delta-8 THC expert at this point. We now encourage you to go further in your legal cannabis studies and try delta 10 gummies, delta 9 THC vape pens, and delta-8 prerolls. No matter what kind of D9 or D10 THC products or delta-8 products you’re looking for, we have a massive selection of delta dankery for you!
