Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 8 or D8 THC) products are fairly common nowadays. It has probably piqued your interest in them. A Delta 8 product has recently become a popular choice for people. But what is it? This is a good question. In order to help you feel confident and educated in what you use, Titan Botanicals will help you answer this question and a few others. So, are you ready?
Delta 8 basics
Let’s start by defining D8 THC. Knowing the basics of Delta 8 will help you better understand how a D8 THC concentrate works and how to use it.
Cannabinoids are a large group of chemical compounds found in cannabis and hemp. A few compounds can do what these compounds can do. They may affect the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This is a network of receptors found throughout the body that help regulate various functions. Cannabinoids can affect these functions because they interact with the ECS. Delta 8 is one of the hemp plants with over 100 cannabinoids.
You may have noticed that D8 THC has recently become more popular. Because you’ve probably heard of another cannabinoid with a similar name. You may know it as THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). The names Delta 9 THC and Delta 8 are so similar because they are so similar. The D8 THC and Delta 9 THC are built similarly, with one minor difference. They each have a double bond somewhere. This distinguishes them as distinct cannabinoids with distinct effects.
The psychoactive euphoria that is often associated with cannabis plants is created by Delta 9 THC. It does so by binding to ECS receptors. Other cannabinoids only interact with ECS receptors, not bind to them. Also, Delta 9 THC binds very tightly to these receptors. This produces the famous euphoria. Because Delta 8 is built differently, it also behaves differently. D8 THC binds to ECS receptors like Delta 9 THC. But its grip is weaker. So the euphoria caused by Delta 8 is unique. Many describe it as less intense and more bodily. Because cannabinoids affect people differently, this may vary.
Delta 9 THC is often linked to more questions. The most important is whether D8 THC is legal. On this front, you can mostly relax. The 2018 Farm Bill made industrial hemp and hemp-derived products legal in the US. That doesn’t mean you can buy Delta 8 anywhere in the US. Federal legality does not imply state legality. It simply allows states to enact their own laws in the future. Most states have legalized hemp and D8 THC, but some have not. That’s why it’s vital to know your state’s hemp laws. So you know what you’re using.
That is all you need to know about Delta 8 in general. Now for something a little more specific. So, let’s talk about D8 THC concentrates.
What is Delta 8?
Now that you know what D8 THC is, let’s talk about Delta 8 concentrates.
The name says it all. They are D8 THC products with a high Delta 8 content. These come in a variety of wax or resin forms. Basic waxes are the waxiest in texture. Then there are shatters, which lack plant wax and are therefore more rigid. Whipped wax is also popular, but it’s more peanut buttery. Crumbles, also known as sugar waxes, are the driest D8 THC concentrates available. Basic resins are one of the purest forms of hemp extract, resulting from the extraction process with minimal processing. The plants give us live resins, no processing, just extraction.
Delta 8 Concentrate is commonly sold as dabs for vape pens. Many people vaped it and smoking it is one of the best ways to use Delta 8. Smoking gets D8 THC into your system much faster than any other method. Unlike other products, such as edibles, the Delta 8 is easier to absorb. Inhaled D8 THC quickly enters the bloodstream, causing immediate effects. The main disadvantage is that the effects wear off quickly, so you have to keep taking hits to maintain the euphoria.
Be aware that Delta 8 concentrates are quite potent. That makes it easy to overdo it. So, how to avoid it?
How much Delta 8 concentrate do you need?
So far, there is no evidence that D8 THC is more dangerous than Delta 9 THC (which is to say, not very dangerous at all). But taking too much can be harmful. Excessive intake can cause paranoia, among other things. So, use the right amount of Delta 8 for you. This means it is better for someone who is more familiar with hemp. Because even experienced hemp users may be unfamiliar with D8 THC, a quick guide to determining the appropriate serving size is useful. But here’s where things get tricky.
There is no set serving size for D8 THC, especially not for D8 concentrates. So, how do you avoid taking too much? That’s how it’s done. Start with a little concentrate and one hit. Wait a while to see how it goes. If you don’t feel well, try another hit. Once you’ve found your sweet spot, keep hitting it regularly to keep it going. To avoid overusing it, don’t take it too frequently. h.
It may take some time to figure out how much D8 THC to take. But, as you can see, it pays off. After all, it pays to be cautious. Be patient and slow down. It’s not urgent. You should be able to have fun. So the time and effort will be worthwhile.
Where to get a good Delta 8?
Buying D8 THC concentrates from a reliable source is critical. People may try to take advantage of the lack of general knowledge about D8 THC because it is new to the mainstream market. As a result, here is a quick overview of what to look for in a D8 THC company.
Always look for testing and results in any Delta 8 company. All D8 THC products must be tested for quality and cannabinoid content. Third-party labs are best for these tests because they are less likely to be biased, but companies can test their own products. The company’s website should have the test results. Some companies put them on their site but hide them. If you have to dig to find their test results, you should find another Delta 8 provider. Titan Botanicals has a page for our test results. There you can read about our tests and their results. You can access it via our navigation bar or this link.
Next, you should read reviews.
This may seem obvious, but it is often overlooked. Site reviews can reveal a lot about a company. It’s difficult to please everyone all the time. There will always be someone who dislikes a product and wishes to inform others. So, if a D8 THC company’s website only has positive reviews, check out a third-party review site. It’s possible that this company is deleting negative reviews.
The cost of Delta 8 products is another factor to consider.
The D8 THC market is new. So prices are quite volatile. Some companies will overcharge you because they believe you won’t know any better. That doesn’t mean their product is. Others seem great because they don’t charge much. This can mean they are giving you a great deal, but it can also mean their product is subpar or they have made some compromises. Choosing a company with prices in the middle is ideal (like Titan Botanicals, for example).
It should be easy to find a good Delta 8 supplier if you keep an eye out for these signs. Because the Delta 8 THC industry is so new, some may try to take advantage of it. So, arm yourself with the knowledge to ensure that the Delta 8 concentrate you buy is of high quality and worth the money you spend.
It’s easy to see why D8 THC concentrates have gotten so much attention. Their strength means you get more for your money. They also act faster than most other Delta 8 products because they are used in vapes. If you’re ready to try D8 THC, why not start here? Titan Botanicals carries a wide range of Delta 8 products.
