Delta 8 FAQ

Can I Take Delta 8 if I’m Pregnant?2021-12-14T14:27:53-05:00

We do not recommend taking delta 8 if you are pregnant, because there have been no studies on the effects of delta 8 THC on a fetus or on someone who is pregnant. Ultimately, however, you should follow your doctor’s guidance. Only your doctor can offer personalized medical advice based on your current health-related circumstances.

Can I Overdose on Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:27:27-05:00

Delta 8 THC is a nontoxic compound that the endocannabinoid system can effectively manage in high doses. Therefore, there are no incidents recorded in which a person has overdosed on delta 8 due to toxicity levels. Still, taking extremely high doses is not recommended as this could lead to feelings of anxiety and paranoia.

Can I Be Allergic to Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:27:02-05:00

An allergy specifically to the delta 8 compound is enormously rare, but we can never rule out that possibility as a human can be allergic to almost any organic substance. If you do have allergies, you should look through the full list of ingredients provided on each product page to make sure that there are no allergens that could trigger a dangerous response. We offer a comprehensive list of ingredients with each product that we sell.

Why Do Some Delta 8 Products Contain CBN?2021-12-14T14:26:32-05:00

You may notice that some delta 8 products we offer contain CBN. This is short for cannabinol, and it’s another derivative of delta 9 THC. Due to their molecular similarities, CBN and delta-8 seem to share a distinctive synergistic relationship that can promote stronger relaxation sensations. This is why products containing both delta 8 and CBN are often associated with bedtime use.

Does Delta 8 Create a Body High?2021-12-14T14:26:03-05:00

The unique high produced by delta 8 THC is usually described according to its cerebral effects. Certain products, however, can give you more of a “body high” felt in the muscles. If seeking out more physical effects, you can try capsules or gummies which best promote a body high experience.

How Long Will It Take Before I Feel the High of Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:25:38-05:00

Again, how quickly you feel the effects depends on the delivery method as well as your dosage amount. Flower will offer effects within just minutes, while edibles and capsules can take up to 2 hours before the effects are clearly felt within the body. A higher dosage will also allow those effects to kick in sooner.

How Long Does the High Last After Using Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:25:09-05:00

How high you feel after taking a dose of delta 8 largely depends on the delivery method. Edibles and capsules yield the longest-lasting effects for up to 9-hours, while flower is the most short-lived, with effects usually tapering off after an hour. Another factor is how much you took, as the higher the dose, the longer the effects will be.

Is Delta 8 Going to Interfere with My Sobriety?2021-12-14T14:24:13-05:00

If you maintain a sober lifestyle, using delta 8 could conflict with that due to its intoxicating effects. If you wish to experience the properties of the hemp plant but wish to remain sober, you can try non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBD, CBG and CBN. Delta-8 is just one of many cannabinoids in hemp that can offer desirable effects.

Is Delta 8 Lab-Tested?2021-12-14T14:23:39-05:00

Delta 8, like CBD, must undergo a thorough testing process performed by a third-party laboratory before making its way onto the market. It’s tested for purity levels, signs of contamination and chemical composition. These lab reports should be provided on the product’s website.

Are There Side Effects Associated with Taking Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:23:10-05:00

Because delta 8 is a psychoactive compound, those who use it are always at risk of getting higher than they anticipated if they are not considering their dosage and tolerance. Getting too high can potentially cause feelings of anxiety and paranoia in some individuals, along with dry eyes and low blood pressure. All of these side effects are temporary, but if you do experience any concerning symptoms after using delta-8, seek medical attention immediately.

How is Delta 8 Made?2021-12-14T14:22:44-05:00

Delta 8 is produced through a unique purification process known as steam distillation. Distilled steam is applied to the whole plant extract, which strips away each compound until all that remains is delta 8 THC in as purified of a form as possible. This creates a rich concentrate that can then be used to formulate specific types of products.

Can I Take Different Forms of Delta 8 in One Day?2021-12-14T14:22:15-05:00

Ultimately, you can take more than one type of delta 8 product in a day if you feel that this will help you reach your goals. As a beginner, however, you should stick to just one product per day until you get used to its effects. Then, you can consider incorporating a second type of product into your routine.

Can Delta 8 Be Taken with Terpenes?2021-12-14T14:21:49-05:00

Delta 8 THC and terpenes can certainly be taken together! A lot of delta 8 products contain terpenes taken from the hemp plant, as these compounds can have a synergistic relationship with one another to promote a more enjoyable response in the body. We offer delta 8 flower that contains numerous terpenes which can enhance your delta 8 experience.

Can I Take Delta 8 if I’m on a Medication?2021-12-14T14:21:24-05:00

If you are currently taking a medication of any kind, we DO NOT recommend taking delta 8 without first clearing it with your doctor. Like CBD, delta 8 could suppress CYP3A4 levels, with this enzyme being responsible for breaking down many popular medications. There is also no research on the potential that delta 8 has to interact with certain drugs.

What Role Does Delta 8 Play in the Endocannabinoid System?2021-12-14T14:20:58-05:00

Delta 8 THC is unique in that it almost exclusively binds to CB1 receptors. These are cannabinoid receptors located in the body’s nervous system. This means that delta 8 could offer more potent effects to the nervous system functions including mood, pain sensitivity and more.

What are the Effects of Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:20:32-05:00

Delta 8 THC’s effects are largely described as mellowing and uplifting, with mood-balancing properties that are felt noticeably shortly after use. Some studies say that delta 8 can help with nausea and appetite as well. Each person may experience unique effects based on how their body responds to delta-8.

How Much Delta 8 Should I Take as a Beginner?2021-12-14T14:20:03-05:00

If you are new to delta 8 THC, we strongly recommend that you start with the lowest milligram strength that is available so that you can get a feel for its effects. Delta 8’s high can be a bit overwhelming for those with no tolerance to the cannabinoid, and as you continue taking delta 8, your tolerance will increase. We also recommend that you follow the dosing instructions on the product’s label.

Can I Take Delta 8 with CBD?2021-12-14T14:19:33-05:00

Delta 8 and CBD can be taken together. As they exist alongside one another in nature, they are not associated with a negative interaction. CBD and delta 8 may work in a complementary way through synergy, offering a more balanced experience in which CBD takes the edge off of the high of delta 8.

What Forms Does Delta 8 Come in?2021-12-14T14:19:08-05:00

Delta 8 THC comes in the same product forms as CBD. This means that you can find delta 8 flower, tinctures, topicals, edibles and capsules on the market. Each delivery method promotes a unique onset time, duration of effects and level of bioavailability.

Can I Give My Pet a Delta 8 Product?2021-12-14T14:18:37-05:00

Pets should never be given delta 8 THC. Their nervous systems cannot handle intoxicating substances, and this can lead to dangerous effects. Only give your pet CBD, under the guidance of a veterinarian.

Can I Fail a Drug Test for Using Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:18:09-05:00

Is Delta 8 Intoxicating?2021-12-14T14:15:32-05:00

Delta 8 is an intoxicating cannabinoid, despite being federally legal. The high produced by delta 8 is about 70% as psychoactive as that of delta 9 THC, which happens to be the cannabinoid in marijuana responsible for its intoxicating effects. Many people find that delta 8 creates more of a buzz than a strong mind-altering type of sensation.

  • Utah
What is Delta 8?2021-12-14T14:14:05-05:00

Delta 8 is short for delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol. It’s a minor cannabinoid found in about 0.1% of the hemp plant’s chemical composition. Like CBD, delta 8 is a cannabinoid, and is actually a direct descendent of delta 9 THC. It essentially is the delta 9 compound that has aged in the plant, taking on an entirely new set of traits and properties through molecular transformation.

Delta 9 FAQ

Can I Take Delta 9 Before Bed?2021-12-14T14:32:14-05:00

Can I Take Delta 9 with Other Hemp Products?2021-12-14T14:31:51-05:00

You can take delta 9 THC with other hemp products, since the compounds of the hemp work together synergistically and therefore do not cause a negative interaction. But, if you’re new to delta 9, we do not recommend combining it with another psychoactive cannabinoid-like delta 8 or delta 10. Delta 9 is already quite psychoactive, so taking it with another intoxicating cannabinoid may cause you to get “more high” than you’re comfortable with as a delta 9 beginner.

When Do the Effects of Delta 9 Edibles Kick in?2021-12-14T14:31:23-05:00

The effects of delta 9 THC edibles are usually felt somewhere between 1 and 2 hours after administration. The reason why it can take this long is because edibles must first be processed by the digestive system before the delta 9 THC is released by the liver into the bloodstream.

How Long Do the Effects of Delta 9 Edibles Last?2021-12-14T14:31:00-05:00

Most people find that the effects of delta 9 edibles last for somewhere around 8 hours.  This means that if you’re going to use one of our delta 9 edibles, you should keep your schedule somewhat clear for the next several hours.

So, taking these products will trigger a positive result.

What’s the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9?2021-12-14T14:30:08-05:00

Delta 8 THC is known for its psychoactive buzz that is associated with feeling mellow yet alert. Delta 9 can have a mellowing effect as well, but it may also be more stimulating depending on the strain and the way in which your body utilizes the cannabinoid. Also, delta 9 is more likely to disrupt mental alertness.

What Does Delta 9 Feel Like?2021-12-14T14:29:40-05:00

Delta 9 THC is about 30% more intoxicating than delta 8, for reference. The high is therefore stronger, and its mind-altering effects are heavier. The exact way that you feel depends on your body’s tolerance to the cannabinoid, the strain of the product, the milligram strength of delta 9 in the formula and the delivery method.

Delta 9 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana. We use hemp-derived delta 9 THC, although the cannabinoid is chemically identical in both plants. It’s a known psychoactive, and it’s a cannabinoid, which means that its properties come from its interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Delta 10 FAQ

Which Type of Delta 10 Product Should I Choose?2021-12-14T14:37:52-05:00

Each delta 10 product type offers a unique experience, and which product you should take is completely up to you.

  • Inhalable products like flower and vapes tend to take effect within minutes, offer a high potency and wear off within a couple of hours at most.
  • Edibles tend to “kick in” within 1-2 hours, offering slightly milder cerebral effects and a stronger body high for around 8 hours.
Does Delta 10 Work with the Body’s Endocannabinoid System?2021-12-14T14:37:28-05:00

All cannabinoids, including delta 10, work with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Delta 10 THC is such a new discovery that we don’t yet know its properties that relate to the endocannabinoid system other than its ability to get the user high, which comes from the cannabinoid’s interaction with CB1 receptors in the brain.

How Much Delta 10 Should I Take?2021-12-14T14:37:04-05:00

If you have never taken delta 10 before, best to start with a low serving size.

As you develop a tolerance, you can consume a higher amount.

What’s the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 10?2021-12-14T14:36:35-05:00

Delta 10 and delta 8 are both isomers of delta 9 THC, but their effects are different. While delta 10’s effects are more “sativa-like,” delta 8 is considered more mellowing, and it’s a more popular choice for evening. In terms of how intoxicating each compound is, they are quite similar.

What’s the Best Time of Day to Take Delta 10?2021-12-14T14:36:09-05:00

Delta 10 THC can be taken at any time of day or night, but most people prefer delta 10 during the daytime hours. Delta-10 seems to offer a “sativa-like” effect to most users, meaning that it may be more uplifting and therefore better for the period of the day when you are the most active.

Can I Take Delta 10 with Other Cannabinoids?2021-12-14T14:35:35-05:00

You can take delta 10 with other cannabinoids like CBD and delta 8 if you so desire. But, if you’re new to delta 10, we recommend taking it without any other psychoactive cannabinoids. Otherwise, you may end up getting more intoxicated than you’re comfortable with as someone who is new to the effects of delta 10 THC.

Will I Fail a Drug Test from Taking Delta 10?2021-12-14T14:35:11-05:00

Consuming delta 10 puts you at a very high risk of failing a drug test. Drug tests do not search for the presence of delta 9 in the urine, but rather THC-COOH, an enzyme that metabolizes THC. THC-COOH metabolizes not only delta 9, but delta 10 and all THC-based cannabinoids.

Is Delta 10 Legal?2021-12-14T14:34:48-05:00

Delta 10 is protected under federal law as of 2018. This is because federal law declares that all hemp products are legal if they contain a maximum of 0.3% delta 9 THC. However, delta 10 has been made illegal in the following states:

What is CBD?

Can I Fail a Drug Test After Using CBD?2021-12-14T14:53:43-05:00

You will not fail a drug test if you use a CBD isolate product, as there is zero THC in the product, and cannabidiol is not tested for in standard urine tests given out by employers. The same goes for broad spectrum CBD, which is THC-free. Full spectrum CBD contains a trace amount of THC, but you would have to consume an enormous amount of it to trigger a positive drug test.

Is CBD Really Non-Psychoactive?2021-12-14T14:53:19-05:00

The CBD compound is completely non-psychoactive, which means that even in high doses, you will not get high off of it. Full spectrum and broad spectrum hemp products are equally non-intoxicating, because the trace level of THC present in the formula will not result in a high even if you take large amounts. Therefore, if you are someone who maintains sobriety, taking CBD will not interfere with your lifestyle.

Can I Use More Than One Kind of CBD Product?2021-12-14T14:52:49-05:00

Many people take multiple CBD products in a day, as different kinds of products can yield different kinds of results. For instance, some people enjoy smoking raw hemp flower due to its fast-acting effects, and also like to use a CBD topical to target particular problem areas of the body with a more concentrated, localized dose of hemp. If you are a beginner, you should wait until about a month of daily use before incorporating a second product into your daily routine.

Can I Take CBD if I’m Sick?2021-12-14T14:52:19-05:00

CBD is not associated with any effects that could worsen an illness. However, ONLY your doctor can tell you whether or not it is safe to take CBD based on your current medical condition. We recommend setting up an appointment with your doctor if you are ill and discussing CBD with them thoroughly.

Do CBD’s Effects Happen Immediately?2021-12-14T14:51:36-05:00

Everyone’s experience with CBD is unique, as we said earlier. Some people may notice strong effects right away, while for others, it can take up to 2 weeks to really start seeing results. It all depends on how your endocannabinoid system utilizes and stores cannabinoids. This is why we recommend that a person use the same product for a couple of weeks before deciding whether or not they wish to continue.

How Do I Know My CBD Product is Legitimate?2021-12-14T14:51:01-05:00

All of the CBD that we sell at GreenLife Remedies has been tested by a third-party laboratory. This ensures that the products are pure, legitimate, safe, and high in quality.

Is CBD the Only Cannabinoid in Hemp?2021-12-14T14:50:36-05:00

CBD is one of over 100 cannabinoids in the hemp plant, and although it’s the dominant cannabinoid with the most research behind it, it’s not the only one worth trying. Full spectrum and broad spectrum hemp products allow you to take in every cannabinoid as it naturally occurs in hemp. Some products that we offer also combine CBD with other popular cannabinoids such as Cannabigerol (CBG) or CBN cannabinol (CBN), as these can offer additional desirable properties such as anti-inflammatory activity or more enhanced calming properties.

Is CBD Organic?2021-12-14T14:50:08-05:00

Not all CBD on the market is organic, but it should be. CBD that comes from organically grown hemp is superior in that it retains higher levels of desirable compounds, maintains maximum chemical stability and is less likely to contain impurities from its surrounding environment. The CBD products we carry come from organically derived hemp.

How is CBD Extracted?2021-12-14T14:49:44-05:00

Extracting CBD is usually done using an advanced CO2 process. The method involves pushing pressurized CO2 through the hemp plant material, which allows the extract to collect in a chamber, free of undesirable compounds. This method is considered the best because it renders a highly pure and chemically stable extract that can be added to all kinds of formulas.

What is CBD Isolate?2021-12-14T14:49:20-05:00

CBD isolate is a type of hemp extract containing only cannabidiol (CBD). It is created using a specialized process that isolates and purifies the CBD compound so that there are no other compounds present. As a result, CBD isolate is flavorless and odorless, as the terpenes have been fully removed.

What are Full and Broad Spectrum CBD?2021-12-14T14:48:55-05:00

Full and broad spectrum CBD products refer to two types of extracts that can be used in a CBD formula.

  • Full spectrum hemp extract contains the full variety of cannabinoids, terpenes, nutrients and other desirable compounds, and these compounds work together synergistically to potentially boost their overall efficacy.
  • Broad spectrum hemp is a THC-free alternative to full spectrum, and although the THC in full spectrum hemp is not going to get you high, some people choose to avoid THC altogether.
What are Terpenes?2021-12-14T14:45:58-05:00

Terpenes are secondary compounds that are also found in the buds of the hemp plant alongside cannabinoids like CBD. The hemp plant contains over 100 unique terpenes, and they determine the flavor and aroma of CBD, while also contributing to its useful properties with desirable effects of their own. Many CBD products on the market contain terpenes from the same plant material.

Is CBD Legal?2021-12-14T14:45:30-05:00

CBD is federally legal as a result of the passing of the Farm Bill in 2018, which decriminalized the hemp plant and allowed all hemp-based products to enter the market legally as long as they do not contain more than 0.3% delta 9 THC. All of the products we offer here at GreenLife Remedies comply with federal law. However, some states have banned specific types of CBD products, such as flower or edibles. It’s important that you stay up to date with current hemp laws in your state to know whether or not a particular CBD product is legal where you live.

Will CBD Put Me to Sleep?2021-12-14T14:45:05-05:00

CBD is commonly associated with bedtime use as some people find that it helps them sleep more easily. But, taking it during the daytime should not knock you out unless you take an abnormally high dose. Again, if you are concerned about the more calming properties of CBD, you should start with a low dose to see how you respond to this effect.

Can I Take CBD with Medications?2021-12-14T14:44:38-05:00

If you are on any kind of medication, you should speak with a doctor before taking CBD. While we have yet to hear any reports of serious interactions between CBD and drugs of any kind, CBD may suppress levels of CYP3A4 in the body, which is an enzyme that breaks down medications so that they don’t accumulate in toxic levels.

Which Milligram Strength Should I Take?2021-12-14T14:44:10-05:00

CBD products come in a wide variety of milligram strength options. This number tells you how many milligrams of pure CBD extract are in each dose that you take. Beginners should start with a mild milligram strength and build their daily amount as their tolerance increases.

What is a CBD Delivery Method?2021-12-14T14:43:44-05:00

A delivery method refers to the manner through which the CBD absorbs into the body. Examples are edibles, which are ingested, tinctures, which are absorbed through the sublingual tissue, and CBD flower, which is inhaled into the lungs. Each delivery method has a distinctive onset time, bioavailability (absorption efficiency) and duration of effects. Feel free to experiment with different delivery methods to figure out which one best suit your needs.

Is CBD Safe for Pets?2021-12-14T14:41:46-05:00

Many veterinarians suggest CBD for their pets. All mammals have an endocannabinoid system, and CBD serves the same function in all species. You should only give your pet CBD if your vet has recommended it, and you must be sure that you administer a CBD product made specifically for pets, which has the right potency level for their bodies and ingredients that are safe for animal ingestion.

Does CBD Have any Side Effects?2021-12-14T14:41:23-05:00

Is CBD Addictive?2021-12-14T14:40:59-05:00

CBD is not known for being an addictive compound. We have yet to hear a single report about a person experiencing a withdrawal effect as a result of stopping consumption of CBD. Further, most people can maintain the same desired effects with the same dosage amount for years.

Can CBD Be Taken Daily?2021-12-14T14:40:34-05:00

What is a Cannabinoid?2021-12-14T14:39:42-05:00

CBD belongs to a class of compounds unique to the cannabis genus known as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids like CBD are used by the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is a vast network of cannabinoid receptors that utilize cannabinoids to regulate individual processes of the body to promote homeostasis. Cannabinoids are nontoxic to the human body and may help promote a sense of equilibrium that affects how we feel.

Where Does CBD Come From?2021-12-14T14:38:53-05:00
