How to properly dose Delta8

For most people, especially moderate or experienced consumers, delta-8 will feel much weaker than regular THC. If you are new to hemp, delta-8 could affect you strongly—it depends on your body chemistry.

"Inhale. Hold it. Exhale. Smile"

To give a sense of delta-8’s potency relative to THC, delta-8 edible producers commonly measure and dose their gummies at more than twice the strength of THC gummies:

  • THC gummies often come in 10mg gummies—people may take half a gummy or a full gummy for a dose, either 5mg or a full 10mg.
  • Delta-8 gummies often come in 25mg gummies—so half of one would be 12.5mg, and a full gummy is 25mg.

In creating these standard gummies, producers are calculating that delta-8 is less than half as strong as regular THC, so a 25mg delta-8 gummy might equate to the effects of a 10mg THC gummy.

Again, it’s important to note that very little research has been done on delta-8. We don’t know much about how strong its effects are, and how it affects the body. As with any hemp product, the chemical profile of the hemp, your body’s chemistry, your tolerance level, your set and setting, and the amount you take all affect how you will feel.

It’s always recommended to take a little bit at first and then wait for the onset of effects before taking more. The consumption method will affect how quickly you feel those effects. If you’re vaping delta-8, you should feel the effects within ten minutes or less; if taking edibles, wait at least an hour or two before taking more.

Delta-8 currently exists in a legal gray area. Few state laws specifically address delta-8 THC at this time. Most state laws that pertain to marijuana or hemp use language that covers marijuana, hemp, THC, CBD, or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. There are 11 states where delta-8 is believed to be illegal according to state law.

The federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has, in a proposed rule, indirectly classified delta-8 THC as a Schedule I controlled substance, which would make it federally illegal. That rule is not yet final.
