A Beginner’s Guide To Delta-8 THC

Have you heard the buzz surrounding Delta-8 THC, yet not quite sure if it’s right for you? Perhaps with a brief understanding of what exactly Delta-8 THC is, along with its effects and benefits, you might recognize why D8 is an exploding favorite among hemp product enthusiasts. Here’s a mini beginner’s guide to Delta-8 to help you decide if you want to jump in and give it a try.

What is Delta-8 THC Exactly?

Delta-8 THC is a 100% legal hemp derived psychoactive cannabinoid! It’s similar to the famous psychoactive Delta-9 THC found in traditional cannabis, however it’s about 50% less potent. This is a good thing and is one of the reasons D8 is becoming so popular. 

Delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring, minor cannabinoid found in very small concentrations in the hemp plant. Delta-8 THC is a degraded form of THC (Delta-9 THC), which means that it’s not produced directly by the same cannabinoid synthesizing enzymes as Delta-9 THC. Rather, Delta-9 THC converts or degrades into Delta-8 THC in the maturing plant material. 

What that means is that Delta-8 THC is a less potent form of Delta-9 THC with respect to the psychoactive capabilities, although it maintains the beneficial properties of the THC cannabinoid. As a less potent form of THC, Delta-8 does not have the psychoactive ‘side effects’ that are typically associated with Delta-9 THC like paranoia or anxiety. 

How Will Delta-8 THC Make Me Feel?

Delta 8 THC will deliver a psychoactive experience that varies, in some ways, depending on the individual and the potency of Delta-8 THC infused hemp flower or Delta-8 THC products. The feelings most commonly reported are:

• Deep body relaxation
• Elevated mood
• Pain relief and release
• Overall sense of peace
• Improved focus
• Relaxation
• Improved present moment awareness
• Enhanced creativity
• Varying levels of euphoria 

Delta-8 THC Hemp Flower users are encouraged to start slow with a small dose to determine what level of effects best suits their needs and desires. Also it is important to take into consideration the quality, strength of infusion and method of infusion in Delta-8 THC Hemp Flower or products. Some hemp flower infusion methods use solvents which can be left behind in the final product ( not optimal), so be sure to inquire how the flower was infused. At Organic Green Roots, we use a proprietary solventless, cold infusion method that infuses pure D8 THC into the flower mimicking the natural distribution of trichomes (oil).  If you’re new to THC, it’s  always best to start small and see how you feel, then increase consumption to meet your needs. Since our body and mind is different day to day, you may need to ‘feel it out’ each time to find your personal optimum experience!
