Will Delta-8 Thc Get You High?

 

Prior to first shopping with ATLRx, I had been purchasing edibles that tasted like they were. I jabbed my gum with a stem; it all felt like a prank—but it wasn’t. He said everyone else is happy, so it must be me. I sat staring at my phone, trying to make sense of an edible plug is gaslighting me. I wasn’t a first-time buyer, gliding my fingertips on the surface—I was at least a silver rewards member. I was a frequent shopper; on a first-name basis and never inconveniencing them. Thankfully, a friend of mine named Ian was there to help me. “Hey, I got something that works similarly.” I said, “wait. It doesn’t taste like it was nuked inside of an easy-baked oven then brought outside to be set on fire then extinguished. Then roll it around in a pile of leaves. It looks like a Cosmic Brownie.” He explained that it worked for him. Knowing that I have a similar tolerance, I shrugged my shoulders, holding back the tears because I jabbed my gum the night before with a stem. “Will delta-8 get me high?” I asked Ian. “Yes”, he said, “it will get you high, buddy, I promise.” The following day, I ventured over to Alpharetta and picked up a twenty count of the delta 8 gummies. I was back that same weekend because, lo and behold, they worked—opening a new door to the world of THC.

 

So What is Delta-8? 

 

Delta-8 has been coined many things; usually, it carries the title of a random family tie. For example, it is often referred to as the younger cousin of weed. But really, it’s just an alternate form of THC with a very similar chemical structure to delta-9. It is sixty percent as potent as traditional cannabis. That forty percent difference leaves room for those sensitive to THC, leaving things such as brain fog and paranoia in the dust. In Georgia—it is as good as it gets to the real thing. What’s interesting is that people prefer delta-8 over traditional. Often, guests will even tell us that they like it more than delta 9. There are plenty of reasons to; however, it appeals more to those sensitive to traditional cannabis. To be able to receive head-euphoria and body relaxation without being overly paranoid is a big deal. A significant difference is that delta-8 is an extraction that comes from hemp. Hemp by itself is non-psychoactive; however, its isolates can be. Yes, it is. Give me a minute, though. It’s important to understand that CBD is what makes this chemical reaction takes place. Delta-8 THC is only one molecule off from being traditional delta-9. Both of them convert into 11-hydroxy-THC when metabolized through the liver through an edible. However, delta-8 is more of a mellow high. It’s clear-headed, paranoid-free with a subtle body relaxation for me. The difference is mainly in the body intensity. Delta-8 doesn’t have the intense body pulsations that come with traditional delta-9. 

 

Is Delta 8 Legal?

 

Yes and no, delta-8 is federally legal due to the Farm Bill of 2016 and 2018. Any hemp product that is below 0.3 percent of THC then it is federally legal. Once it was cleared to bring hemp products across state borders, the delta-8 industry was off to the races. Although industrial hemp is federally legal, it is federally unregulated. Any federally unregulated market is bound to scare most people away. Then others embrace being reckless, ingesting products that they know nothing about other than it is a less potent form of THC. Delta 8 is limited in its legality. Most recreational and medical states have banned delta 8 because they do not want two competing markets. It’s understandable because there is a high possibility that growing numbers are becoming acquainted with delta-8. It is easy to micro-dose for daytime use, and the lack of paranoia seems to be what is drawing fans in. 

 

Is Delta 8 Safe? 

 

Often, we have guests who’ve had experience with other delta 8 products, not aware that the company may have used the cheaper extraction processes. For example, if a company uses the Rick Simpson method, you might taste chemicals since that extraction calls for propane, butane pentane, hexane, or acetone. Although this would make Hank Hill happy, it’s considered one of the worst forms of extraction. We insist on using the best form of extraction, co2, and ethanol. The pure delta-8 distillate can be seen on our QR Codes that provide full-panel DEA Lab certified tests. With such a saturated market that happens to be unregulated, there are products made by companies who’ve been deceitful. While reports have indicated that people have overdosed on delta-8 THC, we can assure you that ATLRx products are safe. Like all THC products, there is a limit. Overdosing on delta-8 THC brings similar symptoms such as nausea, panic attack, rapid heartbeat, paranoia, vomiting and hallucinations. We provide you with the knowledge that you need before you leave the door. We provide an accurate dosing guide and a paper that shares that the product is federally legal.

 

Where is Delta 8 Available?

 

Like most things, it seems these days, delta-8 THC is readily available online. If you’ve been wondering where to buy delta 8 THC, look no further. There are quite a few places that you can purchase delta-8 online, but it’s in your best interest to do your research when it comes to companies. However, online isn’t always the best idea. Some companies are deceptive, leaning on the unregulated market to use it to their advantage as a cash grab. With ATLRx, you don’t have to research because we are keen on transparency--we provide the information you need to know right from the start. Transparency is not limited to just our products; we are also advocates of providing education as well. 

 Delta 8 Carts

 An excellent example would be our delta 8 cartridges. You may have seen other delta 8 carts with less concentrated extract that loosely move throughout the cylinder. Our extracts do not move without heat, and we do have many people ask us why that is. That’s because it’s only the natural extract and terpenes inside of our carts. It’s thick, so it just demands a little extra heat to get moving again (vape link). The other delta-8 cartridges that move freely often contain glycerin, an ingredient that can make you seriously ill. So, although traditional carts are a bit looser, it is usually cannabis oil. Unfortunately, other companies don’t comply with the standard cannabis regulations—running wild with a product that they can’t truly stand behind and a careless motive so they can capitalize on the market. ATLRx delta 8 carts are the natural extract and terpenes for the strain. There is nothing else, no trail of pesticides, metals, or GMOs—giving you a clean and quality product that exceeds not only your expectations but is compliant with the state of Colorado and Oregon regulations.  We’ve also dropped the prices of our full milliliter to $49.99 and our half milliliter to $29.99.

 Delta 8 THC: Drug Test

 Delta 8 THC has substantially grown in its accessibility. So much now that even gas stations have it. I mean, how could you not trust a gas station’s knowledge of delta 8. We wouldn’t recommend anyone who lacks transparency in their products, but I don’t expect a gas station attendant to know the extraction method of a delta 8 brand. It’s for your safety. You should have access to every lab test performed, and if there isn’t any, then leave the product on the shelf. Our guest must know that this is a form of THC and will cause you to fail a drug test. I repeat, delta-8 THC will show up on a drug test. Some companies have shrugged their shoulders, suggesting that it is unlikely that you will test positive. We, in no way, can promise that any of our CBD products will allow you to pass your drug test, which includes our CBD products. ATLRx is a CBD and delta-8 shop that has two storefronts in Alpharetta and Atlanta.
