What is Delta 8?

What is it?

There are over 120 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. The most well-known cannabinoid, Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is responsible for the psychoactive and psychotropic properties of the cannabis plant. Detla-8 THC is another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, and it provides mildly mood-altering effects like its more well-known cousin, but not to the same extent. Delta-8 products containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis appears to be lawful on the federal level and are lawful in many states across the country as well.

What does it feel like?

Users of Delta-8 products report it being similar to the experience they have when using Delta-9 THC, including marijuana. However, many users claim it’s a more pleasant and less overwhelming experience compared to using Delta-9. For this reason, many users suggest Delta-8 as a good way to use cannabis products without experiencing some of the negative side effects, including paranoia. Most users report feelings of clear-headedness, joy, and positivity while using Delta-8 products. It is a lot of fun.

Where does it come from?

Unlike other popular cannabinoids on the market which are artificially created, Delta-8 THC is naturally expressed in the cannabis plant and we use Delta-8 THC that is derived from hemp plants. By law, hemp plants can contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis, and all of our products, including our Delta-8 products, satisfy these requirements. Using these plants, we create Delta-8 products, including flower, gummies, tinctures, and vapes that provide users the benefits of Delta-8 THC while remaining lawful on the federal and many state levels.

How can this be legal?

The 2018 Farm Bill defines “hemp” as: “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” Delta-9 THC is the primary intoxicating component of cannabis. Cannabis with a Delta-9 THC level exceeding 0.3 percent is considered marijuana, which remains a Schedule I controlled substance regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the Controlled Substances Act. In recent communications, the DEA has made it clear that it is concerned only with whether products contain artificially derived cannabinoids (ours don’t) and whether they exceed 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis (ours don’t). For this reason, our products appear to be lawful on the federal level, and absent state prohibition to the contrary, our Delta-8 products are lawful in most states as well.

How do you create the different moods?

We hand-select cannabis strains for their degrees of varying cannabinoids and terpene profiles. We then enhance these naturally occurring profiles by adding additional cannabinoids and terpenes to further promote a given mood.

Do you third-party test your products?

All of our products undergo 3rd party testing in DEA-registered labs.

Will this show up on a drug test?

Our products will cause you to test positive for THC. We recommend not using them if you are required to pass a drug test for marijuana.

Does this feel like marijuana?

Many people think so! Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid naturally expressed in the cannabis plant. It has many of the same effects of its more well-known (and more potent) cousin cannabinoid, Delta-9 THC. However, many users of Delta-8 report it to be a milder version of Delta-9 THC, and with less psychoactive effects. The result is a cannabinoid that still provides mood altering properties without giving its user a feeling of being overwhelmed.

How do I pick what to get?

We take pride in seeking to educate our customers as much as possible on our website, but if you have any questions at all feel free to contact our friendly Customer Support by email, chat or phone. They work 7 days/ week from 9am to 5pm CST.

Absolutely! All of our products are made from federally legal industrial hemp. Per the 2018 Farm Bill it’s perfectly legal to produce hemp derived Delta-8 THC in any concentration, and Delta-9 THC that does not exceed 0.3% by dry weight.

Will it get me high?

It sure will! Be careful and find your perfect amount slowly, you can always take more if the effects you’re feeling aren’t as strong as you’d like.
