What Is the Difference Between Delta 8 And Delta 9?

Both delta 8 and delta 9 are cannabis products that are handy and commonly used. However, for recreational purposes, delta 8 is much preferable because its effects are not as overwhelming as delta 9. Delta 8 gives much more of a body buzz without inducing any of the anxiety or head rushes that is characteristic of delta-9 THC cannabis. There are also a lot of therapeutic and medicinal benefits that are being researched and tested pertaining to delta 8. The effects of both these products are very different between vaping and ingesting. For delta 8, when it is vaped, the effects are mild compared to d9, but eating d8 has very similar effects to d9.

Is Delta 8 Legal?

In the document of the 2018 US Farm Bill, delta-8 THC was made federally legal, under the condition that it is derived from hemp. Delta 8 THC is not considered a controlled or illegal substance under current federal laws and it is the closest you can get to Delta 9 THC while still being legal (in all but 12 states). There are several states that have passed hemp laws that specifically forbid delta-8. But you can legally order it in various forms like the best delta 8 gummies, delta 8 disposables, etc., or even visit your local CBD store to get some. Anything derived from legal hemp (such as CBD or Delta 8 THC) is currently legal under federal regulations. Which is one of the reasons delta 8 is less expensive and easy to acquire than delta 9.

Is Delta 8 Dangerous?

Delta 8 for the most part is a completely safe substance to use. Tests can only tell us that a D8 sample doesn't have certain dangerous compounds we know about (heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, and chemicals from the conversion process, etc.) The only time it’s really dangerous is if you buy a product that isn’t fully lab tested, you won’t be able to tell if there are mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, microbial, foreign matter, or residual solvents as they didn’t test for them. Most companies don’t provide testing for the batches they use. And if they do use testing it’s usually only for potency and no heavy metals or chemicals left over from the process of creating D8. If you buy from a company that provides toxins tests you can feel assured, it’s a safe product.

What Are the Effects Of Delta 8?

Delta 8 when ingested can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, while vaping delta 8, speeds up the process by a margin. Once it kicks in, the effects will continue to intensify for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. There are again some positive and negative effects that people experience, which vary from person to person, depending on their tolerance level. The most common response to delta 8 includes stress relief, general euphoria, relaxation, heightened sense of perception, heightened hunger, a raise in the level of alertness, etc. Delta 8 is a more functional alternative to regular THC. D8 provides the same calm, relaxation, and happiness without the paranoia, forgetfulness, and general “inebriation” you see with d9 THC.

Can You Fly with Delta 8 Products On a Plane?

Delta 8 is federally still legal so it's a "check your local laws" thing because it definitely isn't a substance that is being heavily enforced. Since there are almost 12 states where delta 8 and 9 products are illegal including Idaho, Mississippi, New York, Utah, and Vermont, you may not be able to fly the products to those places. If you’re flying to a state where they’re legal, make sure to place them in your carry-on luggage. You can also take them out of the original packaging if they look suspicious and put them in a zip lock, to avoid any inconvenience.
