What Are Delta 8 Edibles?

Delta 8 edibles are foods that have been infused with delta 8. An edible can be any kind of food, though you’ll usually see them as sweets to cover the strong taste of hemp. Common forms of edibles include delta 8 gummies, delta 8 chocolates, delta 8 brownies, and delta 8 cereal bars.

How to Use Delta 8 Edibles

Whether you’re using delta 8 gummies, chocolates, or candies, how you use them is generally the same. If you’re new to edibles, you need to start slowly. Start by taking a half edible, and wait 30-45 minutes to see how they hit. If it’s not strong enough, take the other half. Be patient, take your time, and you’ll find the perfect dose without getting too stoned too quickly.

Note: if you’re experienced with edibles with traditional THC, expect to need a stronger dose of delta 8 for a similar high.

Let’s be clear: you’re not going to accidentally have a lethal overdose of cannabis. In fact, while there’s a hypothetical level of how much THC is lethal, there has yet to be a recorded instance of someone dying from using too much cannabis at once.

However, you can get uncomfortably high and have a bad time. Getting too high can make you feel extra anxious and paranoid, which is the exact opposite of what you are feeling. You should always start slow with new cannabis products, including delta 8, and work your way up to a comfortable dose.
