What actually is Delta-8 Vs Delta-9 THC?
Delta-8 THC is an analog of regular THC (also known as Delta-9 THC). That means they’re almost exactly the same, with an atomic difference. That minuscule difference makes Delta-8 THC work a little differently from Delta-9 THC despite being almost the same.
Because both Delta-8 & Delta-9 can be found in small amounts naturally from the hemp plant, it can be obtained without a medical card as long it is hemp based.

A Bit About Delta-8 THC
Delta-8 THC isn’t like CBD, though, because it’s still psychoactive. However, it is far less psychoactive than regular Delta-9 THC.
Most people say that Delta-8 THC is like a lighter version of Delta-9 THC. Some studies have reported that Delta-8 THC is about half as potent as Delta-9 THC.The only problem with Delta-8 THC is that it’s not as abundant as regular Delta-9 THC.
Some professional growers have produced cannabis with up to 30% THC content. On the other hand, Delta-8 THC is rarely ever found above 1%.
So you might be wondering—if Delta-8 THC is weaker, how can it be so beneficial?
Delta-8 THC Benefits
Sometimes less is more because although Delta-8 THC is less psychoactive, it doesn’t mean it’s less therapeutic.
In fact, Delta-8 THC’s decreased psychoactive effects may be its biggest strength. That’s because Delta-9 THC can be too potent.
We’ve all been there—intense paranoia, anxiety, panic attacks, and sometimes even dizziness and headaches.
Delta-8 THC has none of these problems because its psychoactive effects are turned down. As a result, Delta-8 THC provides relaxation, focus, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, neuroprotective effects, appetite stimulation, and decreased pain. That makes it perfect for people who need to get rid of stress and get more clarity without the possibility of overdoing it.
Now you might be wondering—how do I take Delta-8 THC? One of the best and easiest ways is through Delta-8 THC softgels, gummies or vape cartridges.
How to Use Delta-8 THC
Using Delta-8 THC is as effortless as taking any other capsule or gummy—just take one, swallow it, and voila! Delta-8 can also be vaped for an almost immediate effect.
How Long Until I Feel Something?
Delta-8 THC has a much more gradual come-up than regular Delta-9 THC. Many people report feeling something as early as the first 10-15 minutes but usually within an hour. Consumers can feel the effect of vaping very quickly, often in minutes.
Since softgels and gummies are technically an edible, they can take up to 2 hours to hit you.
What Will It Feel Like?
After eating a Delta-8 THC softgel, you’ll know it’s working when you feel a tingling sensation in your arms. That tingling sensation will slowly spread until you feel it throughout your body.
From there, your head will clear up, and your mental state will feel enhanced. Many people report feeling unstressed, relaxed, and absolutely clear-headed.
How Long Will It Last?
When considering a long come-up, Delta-8 THC softgels can last up to 12 hours. However, they usually last around 5-6 hours on average, but your mileage may vary. Most people find that Delta-8 THC lasts as long as Delta-9 THC. If you know how long a Delta-9 THC edible lasts you, then Delta-8 THC will be roughly the same.
How Do I Find the Right dose?
You might be wondering—what if I take one and nothing happens? That means that you need to find your dose.
Some people may need a higher dose than others because we’re all different. Height, weight, gender, age, and more can all make a difference in how much Delta-8 THC is right for you.
The standard dose that’s perfect for most people is 15mg of Delta-8 THC. However, you’ll still need to find your dose just to be sure.
The good news is, finding your dose is easy! All you need to do is take one Delta-8 THC softgel, wait for a few hours and if you’re sure you don’t feel anything—take one more. Once you find your dosage, remember it and take that much every time.
Are Delta-8 THC Right for Me?
The other most popular type of Delta-8 THC product is a vape cartridge. Vapes are an excellent method, but they’re not for everyone.
People with sensitive lungs may not want to vape their Delta-8 THC. On top of that, vaping Delta-8 THC doesn’t last as long as taking an edible, but it is often the best option for immediate relief.
Delta-8 THC gummies and softgels are perfect for medical marijuana patients who want all-day relief—discreetly. They are convenient to take, look like regular supplements, and are long-lasting.
You can take one in the morning and completely forget about it as it works its magic throughout the day. When using a vape or a tincture, you may need to consume a dose multiple times throughout the day.

Many consumers love CBD for relaxing, relieving muscle tension, lowering stress levels, and zapping away anxious feelings. But for some users, it’s not enough. People who’ve tried cannabis products with delta-9 THC often find it’s overpowering.
Delta 8 can be looked at as a non-overpowering form of medical marijuana, containing Delta-9 THC. It’s stronger than CBD but not as intense as delta 9 THC. That’s because delta 8 THC is only slightly different than delta 9. Unlike CBD, it IS mildly intoxicating and legal in most states without a medical card. The key to that statement is “mild” as Delta 8 has only about 2:3 the potency of delta 9, offering consumers a pleasant experience.
