Delta 8 Flower

What Is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a stress and inflammation reliever without resulting in an anxious high like its THC brother. It makes up one of the four most common types of cannabinoids and is a compound derived from hemp. Chemically, Delta 8 is almost identical to Delta 9, which is the primary psychoactive component in marijuana.

However, users don’t have to worry about it producing a high with adverse, anxious side effects. This makes it an attractive option for first-time users and people who strictly want to use a marijuana-like product for its relaxation or medicinal reasons.

In its naturally occurring state, Delta 8 occurs in small quantities. It’s a degraded version of THC, so the plant doesn’t directly synthesize its enzymes. Thankfully for those who enjoy using Delta 8, there’s a workaround for this; in storage, THC degrades into Delta 8. For this reason, Delta 8 experts embrace selective breeding techniques and molecular isolation to increase their production of Delta 8.

Where Is Delta 8 Available?

According to federal law, Delta 8 is legal due to the Farm Bill, passed in 2018. Its brother, Delta 9, is illegal because it comes from marijuana and produces the classic high effects that come to mind when a person thinks of cannabis. However, since Delta 8 THC comes from hemp, any U.S. state that allows the possession of hemp—which is nearly every state except for a few, such as Idaho—also allows Delta 8. As long as Delta 8 has a THC content under 0.3% and comes directly from the hemp plant, it is legal under federal law. However, since states can make their own rules, you should double-check it’s legal in your state before making your purchase.

You can purchase Delta 8 from Georgia Hemp Company, as we sell this product locally and ship it throughout the United States. Our company is recognized nationally, as The New York Times featured us in an article about our success with selling Delta 8. Our Delta 8 is 100% made in the United States, so you can be sure you’ll receive a high-quality product from our expert team.

Is Delta 8 THC Safe?

Delta 8 THC is a safe alternative to Delta 9 THC provided that you purchase your vapes, edibles, and concentrates from a well-known vendor. Companies with little experience or those looking to cut corners will often leave traces of Delta 9 THC in their Delta 8 product. That can result in an intense, unexpected high with side effects including anxiousness and paranoia. 

High-quality Delta 8 THC, like the kind we sell at Georgia Hemp Company, produces a safe, uplifting feel. You may experience more energy, but it won’t come along with anxiety and paranoid thoughts. Furthermore, our Delta 8 THC can help you improve your focus—that’s not the kind of reaction people typically have from marijuana. 

Will Delta 8 THC Get You High?

Many people call Delta 8 “marijuana light.” You’ll know when it enters your body because it creates a near-instant relaxation effect. Some people will feel the impact more than others. However, the most notable side effect of traditional marijuana that no one will feel from Delta 8 is anxiety and paranoia. For this reason, Delta 8 is an excellent choice for people who don’t like the psychoactive effects of cannabis and want to use the product to relax, improve their sleep, or reduce inflammation. That said, Delta 8 doesn’t contain the same level of sedation effects as Delta 9, meaning that you’ll be relaxed while still maintaining a clear mind.

While Delta 8 and Delta 9 have their differences, there are some noteworthy similarities. For example, both will give you the feeling of wanting to eat. More attractive similarities include the reduction of nausea and reducing pain levels.

What Are the Benefits of Delta 8?

Delta 8 offers users a calm feeling without psychoactive side effects. It allows you to feel relaxed and may improve your sleep, while still offering a clear enough head for you to be able to focus. It also contains similar pain-relieving and inflammation-reducing components as standard cannabis. As a “light” version of marijuana, it’s an excellent choice for people who want to test the waters without jumping into the harder core cannabis varieties.

What Forms Does Delta 8 Come In?

Like traditional marijuana, you can choose from a variety of ways to consume Delta 8. These include Delta 8 tinctures, Delta 8 edibles, Delta 8 vape cartridges, and Delta 8 gummies. Georgia Hemp Company offers our Delta 8 products in both pure Delta 8 varieties and Delta 8 mixed with CBD and CBG hemp flower. You have the option to choose from the Delta 8 concentration of your preference, which ranges from 5.6% to 10%. 

Will Delta 8 Show up on a Drug Test?

You can assume that Delta 8 will likely show up on a drug test. Since urine tests detect THC metabolites, and Delta 8 comes from the degradation of THC, drug screenings can usually pick it up. Therefore, we recommend refraining from Delta 8 use if you have a drug test coming up. As a general rule, cannabinoids stay in fat cells for around thirty days. If you undergo a hair or fingernail drug test, you should stop using Delta 8 three months before your screening.
