Delta-8 Tincture

Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that is mostly used for pain relief. Delta-8 has a slight variation in molecular structure from Delta-9, resulting in Delta-8 being less potent than Delta-9. Delta-8 is preferred by those who cannot manage the adverse effects usually caused by Delta-9 THC consumption. It produces a euphoric, mild “buzz” without anxiety and paranoia.

Delta-8 users describe the effects as having more:

Focus
Calm
Motivation
Clear head

Start low and go slow. We recommend starting with a few drops and gradually building the dose up according to your tolerance. Cut back on the dose if you wake up feeling groggy.

Most of the benefits associated with Delta-8 are word of mouth, and there is no conclusive research finding on how Delta-8 can impact overall health. Delta-8 users say they take it along with prescription medications to help with addiction and depression.

They also report that it can:

Alleviate nausea
Help boost appetite
Provide pain relief
Improve mood
Neuroprotection
Better sleep
Relieve vomiting while undergoing cancer treatment.

Yes, Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid. However, it produces what most users describe as a “mellow high.” THC is the cannabinoid responsible for the notable euphoric effects of cannabis. Delta-8 and Delta-9 are THC derivatives, albeit with minor differences in molecular composition. Compared to Delta-9, Delta-8 has a lower affinity for binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, resulting in much milder psychoactive effects.

The effects of Delta-8 are the toned-down version of those of conventional THC, and their duration may be similar, too. The effects can typically begin within 30 minutes and last for 3–8 hours, though this varies depending on the particular product form. Delta-8 metabolites, in general, may last for 6 hours (8 hours being the maximum) in the body, but they can remain in the system for as long as 90 days.

Fortunately, most tests can detect traces of Delta-8 for just a few days. However, a positive result is still possible even after 30 days if you are a frequent user.

Every person has a unique metabolic rate for processing cannabinoids, making it difficult to determine an appropriate starting dose. As with the other cannabinoids, several things must be considered, such as the product’s Delta-8 concentration, BMI (Body Mass Index) – weight and height, and tolerance level.

Delta-8 will not produce a heavy hit, but you should not approach it too casually. There have been instances of individuals who overdosed on delta 8 THC and experienced adverse effects, including lethargy and impaired cognitive function. To determine the correct delta 8 THC dosage for yourself, start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you reach the right level.

If you are unsure how to proceed in taking Delta-8 tincture, here are suggested dosages you can refer to:

First-time or regular users with low tolerance: 5–15 mg per serving
Occasional or regular users with medium tolerance: 15–45 mg per serving
Routine or chronic users with high tolerance: 45–150 mg per serving

Chronic Delta-8 users may develop tolerance exhaustion in some cases. It implies that, at some point, the effect of Delta-8 is delayed or requires a large number of doses. In this case, a tolerance break may be necessary. A tolerance break can last from one week (up to one month for beginners or low-tolerance users) to more than one month (for frequent or high-tolerance users).

There have been no reports of serious adverse effects from using delta 8 THC. However, because delta 8 is an active compound, taking too much of it may cause dizziness, sedation, and fatigue. Delta 8 THC, like other cannabinoids, can cause dry mouth and eyes.

Delta 8 THC tinctures have an extremely long shelf life. They can easily be stored for up to one year without significant loss of potency – when stored properly. It is recommended that you store your tinctures in a cool, dark place, like a cabinet or desk drawer, as cannabinoids degrade when exposed to air and light.

We do not have sufficient data, but Delta-8 THC might trigger a positive drug test. As a precaution, you should not take this product if you need to pass a drug test.
