Everyone remembers from the movies or from personal experience of edible cupcakes with drugs. Since then, the world has not ceased to change in the direction of cheap drugs and has reached a level that is difficult to imagine for the previous generation. Now the THC substance can be found or added to almost all foods – from the same muffins and gummies to spaghetti, snacks, or cakes! This article will focus on one specific example of what stage of evolution THC has reached.
A new type of Delta 8 Gummy has appeared for the consumer, which is still the same psychoactive cannabinoid but has its own unique effects on the consumer. This article will give you the basic facts about this new type of drug and give you a general idea of the difference between the long-established Delta 9 and the new variant.
Edible Gummies Delta-8: Their Feature
Not to mention the effects of Delta 8, which have their own peculiarity, it is worth mentioning a new way of using it – in the form of gummies. Such a method will surely impress any avid consumer of traditional THC and please those who have tried those same cakes. Eating Delta 8 gummies is a very different experience than smoking a joint.
When consuming THC in the form of a food product, you can expect the onset of a high to occur in 30 minutes minimum and up to 90 maximum. Such a high feels a little different from smoking: it will be deeper and longer because the body processes the received THC during digestion differently.
What Exactly Happens in the Body?
When THC enters the human body through food, the liver goes to work breaking down the substance into compounds called 11-hydroxy-THC, which is more potent. When inhaled, a person receives about 10 times less of this 11-hydroxy-THC than when digested. This fact explains why when Delta 8 is taken internally, the effect reaches the highest level and strikes with its buzz. Not only gummies, but all other Delta 8 THC food products have this effect, but it should be borne in mind that its effects are not as pronounced as those that follow the same amount of Delta 9 analog.
Choosing Between Delta 8 and Delta 9
Both of these substances are federal laws and are available for purchase. It is not surprising that the buyer wonders which of these two products is better to buy – you need to read the reviews of both products:
Delta 9
- The consumer can be immediately struck by the intense high from Delta 9;
- Consciousness is confused, and the clarity of the mind is reduced;
- Heart rate may increase;
- Anxiety or paranoid thoughts occur;
Delta 8
- The effect is slightly less intense, which comes on gradually;
- The way of thinking is fresher;
- Anxiety and paranoia are rare in consumers;
There is no definitive recommendation on which THC product to choose, as people choose a product based on their tolerance level and preferences. But it is always better to consult a doctor or at least read the information on the product.
