Frequently Asked Questions
Many consumers report that Delta-8-THC gives them an overall sense of well-being because the CB1 and C2B cannabinoid receptors involved are associated with homeostasis (the body's natural resting state). Other users of Delta-8-THC have reported feeling relaxed, energized, and clear headed.
What is Delta-8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is a powerful cannabinoid native to the cannabis hemp flower. Though typically found in only very small amounts (compared to the more common Delta-9 THC) it's a very well-known psychotropic cannabinoid relative. While Delta-8 has similar effects to Delta-9, it's about 50% to 75% less potent, making it an easier, more tolerable version of traditional THC. Delta-8-THC is an isomer of CBD, a derivative of hemp and CBD, ultimately contained in our extracts with less than 0.3% Delta-9-THC.
What are the effects of Delta-8 THC?
The main value of this cannabinoid lies in its low potency, which translates into lower psychoactivity. When taken in high doses, Delta-8 THC has shown to cause lower levels of anxiety than its relative Delta-9 THC. Researchers have concluded that generally speaking, Delta-8 THC produces similar psychoactive effects to Delta-9-THC, simply at a more manageable intensity.
Many consumers report that Delta-8-THC gives them an overall sense of well-being because the CB1 and C2B cannabinoid receptors involved are associated with homeostasis (the body's natural resting state). Other users of Delta-8-THC have reported feeling relaxed, energized, and clear headed.
Like traditional THC, Delta-8 is often described as providing a soothing physical ease without impacting mental clarity. Keeping users' heads clear while delivering semi-sedative relaxation allows it to be easily used for day-to-day activities, bringing with it a heightened acuteness of the world around you.
Is Delta-8 THC Legal?
The 2018 Farm Bill specifically made all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids in hemp legal, provided the final product has less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. As our Delta-8 is derived from unflowered hemp plant (CBD) and our extracts contain less than the legal limits of Delta-9 THC, it falls within those guidelines.
What is Delta 9-THC?
Delta 9-THC or Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol is the traditional version of THC and is the active ingredient in the Marijuana plant. This cannabinoid is responsible for the psychoactive effects experienced after consuming a marijuana product and is currently federally illegal and illegal in most states.
What is the difference in Delta 8-THC and Delta 9-THC?
The main difference in Delta 8-THC and Delta 9-THC is federal and state legality. Delta 8-THC is fully federally legal and legal 38 states, while Delta 9-THC is federally illegal and illegal in most states. Both Delta 8-THC and Delta 9-THC produce euphoric psychoactive effects on users and carry a wide variety of medical and recreational benefits.
How is Delta 8-THC legal to produce and sell in the USA?
Since products contain only Delta 8-THC made from 100% Hemp extract, companies are able to fully legally manufacture, distribute and sell to consumers in the United States. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, ratified and signed into law in December 2018, Cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta 9-THC is legally classified as Hemp and thus is legal for all intents and purposes under federal law. Let’s also not forget, THC itself isn’t federally illegal, only specifically Delta 9-THC is.
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
The difference in CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is that CBD doesn’t carry the psychoactive effects that THC does. CBD can be used for numerous health reasons but it will never give the consumer the psychoactive effects that Delta 8 and Delta 9 would provide. THC carries most, if not all benefits of CBD, but also introduces the “high” euphoric feeling which can be hugely beneficial for many users.
What does “Hemp Derived THC” mean?
“Hemp Derived THC” means that the THC is entirely produced from Hemp. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, which clarifies that “Hemp” is any cannabis plant containing less than 0.3% Delta 9-THC, Hemp is federally legal for all purposes under federal law. Marijuana or any cannabis plant containing more than 0.3% Delta 9-THC is not used
How old do you have to be to purchase Delta 8-THC?
While there are no federal regulations setting the minimum age required to purchase Delta 8-THC, there are several state regulations mandating that consumers must be 21 years or older to purchase. For this reason, you must be 21 years or older to purchase any products both online and in store.
What are Delta-8 Gummies?
Delta-8 THC gummies are gummies that are produced like the ones that are standard candy, but include a certain amount of milligrams of Delta-8 THC to give the consumer the psychoactive effects smokable Delta-8 THC provides. The gummies are legal because of the 2018 Farm Bill, so the user does not have to worry about the legality of the product they purchased and used. The gummies have a candy-like taste and there can be a variety of flavors, so the user experiences a sweet taste with little to no hemp flavoring! After consuming a gummy, the psychoactive effects from the Delta-8 THC can start its effects on the consumer in about an hour, but that amount of time can vary depending on the consumer.
Are Gummies a Good Alternative to Smoking Delta 8?
Delta 8 gummies are a great alternative for smoking Delta 8 because they have no effect on the consumers lungs. Although, since the consumer is digesting the gummies instead of inhaling them, the effects of the gummies take longer to affect the consumer. Another difference with using edible gummies is that the psychoactive effects will most likely last longer than if you smoke because your stomach is digesting, which is slower than simply inhaling with your lungs.
How Many Delta 8 Gummies Should I Take at One Time?
The best way to go about consuming gummies is to take one gummy at a time and see how it affects you. Then continue to increase the amount you consume at one time if you need more Delta 8 to get the psychoactive effects.
How Does Consuming Gummies Compare to Smoking Delta 8?
The effects should be similar to those of smoking Delta-8 THC, which is a calm, creative and euphoric feeling. This product is targeted for those who want to experience Delta-8 without having to smoke and possibly damage their lungs or for those who would like to try new ways to consume Delta-8 THC! The effects can last for at least an hour so it is recommended to not drive or operate any heavy machinery while using the product. In addition it is recommended not to consume the product while pregnant or have any health conditions.
Our Opinion on Gummies:
We see gummies as another effective way to consume Delta 8 instead of smoking it. The most efficient way to consume Delta 8 is to smoke, but we are aware that a good amount of people are not fond of smoking. The gummies are more enjoyable to consume because of their taste and candy-like experience when chewing them, but there is the issue of the psychoactive effects occurring at a delayed rate because you are digesting them.

What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds that provide the aroma and flavor in cannabis and a variety of other organisms, including plants. Terpenes influence its effects by interacting with cannabinoids. Terpenes are formed inside cannabis trichomes, and their relative presence is directly affected by both the spectrum and intensity of light exposure.
Terpenes do more than provide flavor and aroma. They also support other cannabis molecules in producing desired effects. This is called the entourage or ensemble effect, and it's the reason these aromatic compounds have become such a critical area of cannabis research.
Terpenes and cannabinoids may either exaggerate or suppress one another's effects, depending on which combination is present in a given cultivar and how an individual responds to it. Mounting scientific evidence suggests that terpenes play a considerable role in not only tempering the intoxicating effects of THC, but also creating synergy with phytocannabinoids and even increasing their therapeutic value.
