Delta 8 THC Gummies & Edibles

Delta 8 edibles refer to any delta 8-infused product that can be ingested. Gummies are by far the most popular choice for fans of edibles since they’re delicious and easy to take. But, other types of edibles are quite popular, including delta 8 chocolates, beverages and other products.

Edibles conveniently have consistent milligram amounts of delta 8 between individual serving sizes. This means that if you buy a bag of gummies, each gummy contains the same amount of delta 8. A beginner should start with 5 to 10 milligrams to develop a tolerance to the effects of the cannabinoid. More experienced users can go with 25mg to 50mg per serving.

Each person’s body metabolizes delta 8 at a different rate, but on average, you may feel the effects of the cannabinoid for around 8 hours. Note that it can take up to 2 hours for the effects to be felt, because the delta 8 must travel through the digestive system before its properties can become activated in the bloodstream.

When delta 8 THC is consumed in edible form, its high is unique. While the cerebral effects can still be felt, they’re slightly more mellow, while the user experiences a “body high” sensation that is considered very enjoyable.

Delta 8 THC edibles are fine to take if you’re already consuming the cannabinoid in some other form, like a vape or tincture. But, bear in mind that the length of time you take between each product along with the potency of each product will make a difference when it comes to how you feel. If you’re a delta 8 beginner, we recommend sticking to just one serving of a single delta 8 product per day for a few weeks.

Delta 8 THC edibles are legal wherever delta 8 THC is legal. Delta 8 is a federally legal cannabinoid, protected by the Farm Bill which legalized hemp and its derivatives that contain less than 0.3% delta 9 THC. As of now, however, 13 states have banned delta 8, which means that we cannot ship delta 8 edibles to your home if you live in one of the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Utah.

Delta 8 THC is metabolized in the body by THC-COOH, the same metabolite that processes delta 9 THC. Drug tests search for THC-COOH, which means that if you consume delta 8, you run a high risk of testing positive.

Not all delta 8 edibles contain CBD, but some do. When these two cannabinoids are consumed together, CBD may make delta 8 a mellower experience. If you want an edible that combines these cannabinoids, look for “cannabidiol” in the list of ingredients, which indicates the presence of CBD.

Not all delta 8 edibles are vegan, but we at Pure CBD Now do carry vegan edibles made by different hemp brands. We offer the lists of ingredients for all of the edibles that we carry, where you’ll be able to quickly determine whether or not a particular edibles formula is vegan.

Edibles have varying shelf lives depending on the ingredients with which they are made. Typically, the fresher the ingredients, the shorter the shelf life. The majority of edibles on the delta 8 market are made without preservatives, in order to ensure that their formulas are all-natural. That being said, edibles typically last for 6 months to a year before their ingredients are no longer fresh.
