Introduction

Delta 8 is a cannabinoid that is found in hemp plants. It is similar to delta 9 THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, but it is not as potent. Delta 8 can give you a mild high, but it is not as strong as delta 9 THC.

What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC is a potent cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. Unlike its more well-known cousin, delta 9 THC, delta 8 THC is not known to cause psychoactive effects. In other words, it will not make you feel high. However, delta 8 THC has been shown to offer a wide range of potential benefits, including reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

The Different Types of Delta 8

Delta 8 is one of the four most potent cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant. Delta 8 is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with two extra hydrogens attached to its structure. These extra hydrogens change the way Delta 8 interacts with your CB1 receptors. The result is a more mellow high that does not produce the intense psychoactive effects of regular THC.

There are four main types of delta 8:
-Delta 8 THC isolate: This is 99%+ pure delta 8 THC that has been isolated from the other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Delta 8 isolate is a white powder that dissolves easily in oils and can be used to make edibles, vape juices, and tinctures.
-Delta 8 THC distillate: This is a concentrated form of delta 8 THC that contains between 70-99% delta 8 THC. Delta 8 distillates are usually made from hemp flower and leaves and contain small amounts of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
-Delta 8 THC cartridge: Delta 8 cartridges are filled with a distillate or an isolate and can be used in any vape pen designed for use with cartridge-based systems.
-Delta 8 THC flower: Delta 8 flower is cannabis bud that has beengrown to contain high levels of delta 8 THC. Delta 8 flower can be smoked or vaporized and typically contains between 10-20% delta 8 THC.

The Benefits of Delta 8

Delta 8 is a cannabinoid found in hemp plants. It is similar to THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, but it is much weaker. Delta 8 is also found in very small amounts in marijuana.

Delta 8 can be extracted from hemp plants and made into oils or edibles. It can also be vaporized and inhaled.

When delta 8 is inhaled or ingested, it binds to the same receptors in the brain as THC. However, delta 8 produces a much milder high than THC. Some people report feeling more focused and clearheaded when they use delta 8, rather than feeling euphoric or “stoned”.

Delta 8 is not currently legal everywhere in the United States. In some states, it is only legal for medical use, while in others it is completely illegal. Always check your local laws before buying or using delta 8 products.

The Side Effects of Delta 8

Delta 8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that is found in hemp plants. Unlike its more well-known cousin delta 9 THC, delta 8 does not make people feel high. However, it has been shown to cause some side effects, including:

Anxiety
Dry mouth
Paranoia
dizziness
Red eyes
Cottonmouth
Increased heart rate

How to Use Delta 8

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the effects of Delta 8 will vary depending on the person. However, in general, Delta 8 will not produce the same intense high that is associated with other cannabinoids like THC. Instead, Delta 8 tends to provide a more mellow and relaxed feeling.

Conclusion

The answer to this question is that it depends on how you define “getting high.” If you are looking for the traditional psychoactive effects of THC, then the answer is no, Delta 8 will not make you high in that sense. However, if you are open to experiencing a different kind of high that is more like a pleasant body buzz, then the answer is yes, Delta 8 can most definitely make you feel high.
