Delta 8 Products

Delta 8 is found naturally in cannabis and CBD plants, just like it's well-known cousin delta 9; both are intoxicating forms of THC. Delta 8 is great for people who feel anxiety from consuming delta 9 THC, as it does not have this effect. If you want a clearer, more functional present high, Delta 8 is for you!  

What Is Delta-8? 

Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant genus. Delta-9 and delta-8 THC are both psychoactive. This means D8 products will get you high, and how much will depend on your tolerance. 

Compared to delta-9, delta-8 THC’s potency is more clear and functional while still giving you the mood shift people desire from consuming these products. This makes delta-8 products ideal for consumers who may not enjoy the intensity and heavier effect of delta-9. 

Delta 8 products come in all different forms to suit your preferences. On our site, you'll find it primarily in gummies, vape carts, and disposables, but we do limited releases of it in softgels, tinctures, distillates, pre-rolls, and moon rocks. 

How Do You Use Delta-8?

Using delta-8 is is the same as any other compound. The intoxicating effect is felt whether you consume delta-8 THC orally, sublingually, topically, or via inhalation methods like a vape or disposable. Some considerations between form factors include whether you want to taste it, how soon it's felt, and how long the effect lasts. 

With a delta-8 THC tincture or gummies, for example, it will last longer than what you'd feel from a vape, but it also takes longer to kick in. With a delta-8 THC disposable or vape cart you feel the effects right away but it lasts about 1-2 hours versus the 3-4 hours you feel an edible. 

Why The Hemp Collect to Buy Delta-8 Products?

When you buy Delta 8 online or at a retailer, make sure you find a reputable manufacturer/brand like us that tests every batch of product they make. This not only ensures consistency in dosing but also impacts the product's safety. We use a full panel batch to test our products to ensure there aren't any pesticides or chemicals in our products.

This is important in all CBD, Delta 9 THC, and Delta 8 products in a dispensary setting or open market like ours. 

The other thing that sets our products apart is our use of genuine live resin. Live resin is an extract from cannabis and CBD plants that is full-spectrum and is considered one of the highest-quality extracts you can make. Adding live resin to delta-8 products adds to the things it would normally be consumed within the plant. We believe it's meaningful to honor nature's symphony of compounds. We see this is true in food; why wouldn't it be true for our wellness goods?

We are also one of the only companies that uses actual live resin in our goods and not just terpenes labeled as live resin. This is another important differentiator. Live resin is full-spectrum and rich with compounds; terpenes are just flavor compounds. 

Delta-8 THC - Frequently Asked Questions

If we missed any questions, please reach out to our customer support team. We love helping demystify the journey to finding the best product for your needs and are here to help! Here's a few common questions that may be helpful: 

How long does delta-8 THC stay in your system?

How long delta-8 THC stays in your system is going to depend on factors like your frequency of consumption, the potency of the product, and your individual body chemistry and weight. The more frequently you consume Delta 8 products, the longer they are going to linger in your system. If you just have one dose occasionally, you can expect the cannabinoid to leave your body after about 48-72 hours. However, those who consume delta 8 products every day will have to wait several weeks to clear their bodies entirely of the cannabinoid. Also, your metabolism plays a large role here. If you’re someone with a slower metabolism, you can expect the delta 8 cannabinoid to stay in your body for longer than someone who has a quicker metabolism.

How long does it take for delta-8 to kick in?

How long it takes for delta-8 to kick in depends on the type of product you’re taking, as well as your body’s metabolism.

Inhaled products such as delta-8 vape carts, disposables, flower, pre-rolls, and moon rocks — are going to give you nearly instant effects. It will only take about a minute or so for the delta-8 to fully kick in after smoking or vaping. 

Consumables like gummies, softgels, and tinctures are going to take longer because they have to go through your digestive system. You will usually receive the first wave of the effects in 30-45 minutes. The peak of the effects kicks in around 1 hour.

Will delta-8 show up on drug tests?

Yes, delta-8 THC will make you fail a drug test. Even though delta-8 products come from hemp, they break down in the body in the same way as other THC cannabinoids — specifically, delta-9 THC. Thus, when you take a drug test, the test will pick up the presence of this metabolite, causing you to fail.

Are delta-8 products legal?

Yes, federally, delta-8 products are legal in the United States. The 2018 Farm Bill states that hemp-derived products that contain 0.3% THC or less are federally legal in the country; thus, delta-8 products that follow these guidelines are legal. Unfortunately, Delta 8 products are not legal state-wide. Delta-8 laws change frequently and can be muddy in some states, cities, or counties. Ensure you stay in compliance with local laws by checking in with your state's governing body. 

Is it possible to buy delta-8 online?

Yes, it is 100% possible to buy Delta 8 online, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. As long as you live in a place where delta 8 products are legal, you can buy your ideal products online from retailers like The Hemp Collect and have them shipped right to your door. If you live somewhere that has banned delta-8 THC, reputable companies will not be able to ship to you. If you’re unsure, you can always check the brand’s shipping policies to see where they do or do not ship.

Where can delta-8 be purchased?

You can buy delta 8 THC for sale either in person at stores like smoke shops, dispensaries, or health and wellness stores; you can also buy delta-8 online from retailers like The Hemp Collect. When you find delta-8 THC products for sale online, you’re able to do a little extra research about the brand, view the COAs easier, and take more time to find what you want. While buying in-person has its pros, there’s nothing more effortless than filling your digital cart and having your products sent right to you.

How old must you be to buy delta-8?

You have to be at least 21 years old to buy Delta 8 online. Some in-person storefronts may only require you to be 18 to buy delta-8 THC, but this depends on the location.

Does delta-8 THC make you high?

Yes, delta-8 THC does make you high. Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid and has the ability to work with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, causing intoxicating effects. The high that delta 8 THC brings isn’t as strong as your typical delta-9 product, but it will still cause potent psychoactive results.

Can you test positive after using delta-8 THC products?

Yes, when you consume delta-8 THC products, it is possible to test positive for marijuana. This is because the cannabinoid breaks down in the body and turns into a metabolite called THC-COOH. This is the same metabolite that lingers in the body after consuming delta-9 THC, and it’s also what drug tests are searching for. Because of this, consuming delta-8 THC products can make you test positive and fail a potential drug test.
