Delta 8 THC Megathread

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

I have read about it and people who have taken it said how it is basically like delta 9 THC but more psychedelic like vaping or like smoking/eating Sativa herb, and that they were surprised it is legal.

This trip report, which I did not write makes delta 8 seem very fun to me, but I used to love smoking Sativa marijuana and Sativa Moroccan hashish, and smoking so much you trip from it.

I am not sure why the author believes that lavender and chamomile infusions made him trip or see visuals?

Same. Plus I can puff all day if I really want, still no anxiety. I don't wana go back to illicit weed it's too psychedelic/anxiogenic

Is regular cannabis/hashish or delta 9 THC really that bad or anxiety inducing for you? I would treat it like a psychedelic trip on mushrooms, or LSD and would just go with it or focus on the humor of the marijuana/hashish. Or if it is super horrible tell yourself you are fine and will be back to being not high in a few hours or so.

Marijuana and hashish are psychedelic to me but they remind me of low dose trips on mushrooms and acid, where colors are brighter, I see very mild OEVs/strong CEVs, and everything is super hilarious!

But I stopped using all drugs except caffeine almost a decade ago as I would compulsively use them if they were around or use them daily until they were gone, and abuse the fuck out of them on short and longer binges and cycle through using different drugs both soft and hard to avoid physical addiction. But I am very lucky I did not become a polydrug addict like lots of my friends did.

Regular weed/hash/dabs, yeah. Never had delta-9 distillate to know.

The anxiety tends to get too intense for me; I become unsociable, withdrawn, panicked. If it's just one baby toke maybe not so much, but I can't smoke like I'm 18 or hell, 25 any more. Older I get the worse the anxiety is... maybe I just have too many worries.

Depending on the dosage I notice a lot of anxiety with delta8 too a cbd dose helps or a dose or lorazepam or even a few Gabapentin. However the anxiety is definitely still present for me. Also have you noticed any heart palpitations? Or am I just lucky like that? I suppose the palpitations could be a result of mixing with caffeine as well, as I have been consuming some of that lately.

Florida has come out and said Delta 8 is to be regulated the same way as Hemp products. As long as it is below .3 % D9 THC then they don't care. They just signed a bill that will be active July 21st making this official. Its bring peace of mind living here.

Has anyone tried _ please no plugging _ labs look good but wanted to make sure before ordering.

York Peppermint Patty Cupcakes for Easter Sunday.
~200mg each

 

[Freudzilla]

I love edible delta8! I actually just made a d8 pineapple upside down cake! I have actually quit vaping it and only use it orally now! Dosage can be tricky though I either had a disappointing experience or an overwhelming one until I discovered a pretty comfortable dose.

 

[the_void]

Hi, how do you use the distillate orally ? Thanks

 

[Delsyd]

Distillate is active, it does not need to decarbed to be eaten.
My preferred way is to dissolve 3g in 30ml of MCT oil. Then you have 100mg/ml

I'm sure that Delta 8 THC has been discussed at some point on here.

But I've witnessed 2 "bad trips" on this stuff in the past 2 days, I'm finding this hilarious and intriguing.

Bad trip # 1 :

My girlfriend picked up some Delta 8 THC gummies from our local CBD dispensary yesterday.

25mg of Delta 8 THC in each gummy.

She ate 2 gummies when we left the shop, and when we got home she was straight stoned.

Then panic ensued. Her heart raced at 130 bpm. She became flushed, and she fully believed she was dying.

She paced everywhere and called 911 while I was taking a piss in the bathroom...
Then HUNG UP because she realized what she was doing...

5 minutes later, 911 calls back and she wants me to pick it up... Oh boy.
"Sorry, my girlfriend got very stoned and was having a panic attack. Everything is fine, no emergency. I'm sorry for this." I said, and the operator ended the call.

My girlfriend is still freaking out when the Sheriff's department shows up 30 minutes later.
The police showed up, I invited them in and explained the situation. The cop has a huge grin on his face and basically just made sure my girlfriend is not in serious danger.
I had no paraphernalia laying about so thank god for that.

The police leave, and my girlfriend is calm for a few minutes and now she's dying again. After becoming tired of trying to convince her that she is not dying and her repeatedly asking me to "call someone", I call the EMTs. They come out, holding laughter in most of the time as they run her vitals, and calm her down then they left.

By the time the EMTs left, she seemed to have peaked and the high leveled out.
We smoked some CBD flower rolled through Delta 8 THC keif and watched Marvel movies, all was well.



Bad trip # 2:

My little brother came over today to hang out on his day off. I showed him this "new" legal THC in the form of CBD flower rolled through Delta 8 THC keif, he thought it was traditional bud just like everyone else.

He went off the the CBD dispensary to procure his own personal stash, coming back with 29.6% Delta 8 THC/ 2.3 % CBD "Moonrocks". CBD flower dipped in concentrated Delta 8 THC oil.
And a bong.

He grinds up some of the concentrated flower, loads the bong and takes a BIG rip.

It's now 2 hours later. He's hunched over the table in my garage with a wet towel around his neck, having a head trip that i'm honestly jealous of...



Personally, I've only ever experienced this when smoking some very strong cannabis in Amsterdam.
But I've seen plenty of people get this way in Amsterdam from Delta 9 THC.

I currently smoke 8.3% Delta 8 THC/ 20% CBD "Glue Flower". Which is CBD flower rolled through Delta 8 THC keif.

I agree with everything I've read about Delta 8. It's milder and calmer than MOST delta 9.


I'm sharing these stories and my personal experience because 1) It's somewhat hilarious, I've had been there many times.

But 2) I find it intriguing that Delta 8 THC can have such a profound and familiar effect when consumed rapidly in high doses.

These people are well versed in the art of cannabis consumption, but yet they tripped out heavily on Delta 8.


Let's talk about it.

I mean I’ve had several scary experiences myself. Nothing a lorazepam or Xanax won’t fix but a lot of anxiety if you dose too high! Overall I enjoy delta 8 however the whole thing about it causing less anxiety isn’t the case atleast for me. Every time I consume delta 8 now I do so with a benzo or Gabapentinoid of some sort (ex.) phenibut, Gabapentin, F-phenibut etc. it just smoothed out the rough edges for me.

 

[PtahTek]

I do not get it: I know for a fact that I have consumed 400-500mg delta 8 thc at a time (dissolved in grapeseed oil and eaten with fats - donuts and whole milk) and only get tired, sleep well and do not feel the need to burn my weed. Nothing close to a trip. Not even "high" 'cept for the one time I went to do some fiddlin with a new device and I could tell my mind was too "open" to accomplish what I wished so stopped half-way.

If my math is correct:
2.5g delta 8 thc concentrate (~90 )
15ml grapeseed oil
1ml dropper

~160mg per ml, right? Well... maybe 150mg per ml as it is 90% (supposedly). I can smoke it and get high but it is too freakin harsh for me to burn.

I got somma dem moonrocks. They sittin on the shelf if anyone wants em - no charge. Along with some other d8 flower that I forget the name of. Got an 1/8 of each.

Yea I ended up giving her .5 mg of Xanax to calm her down, forgot to mention that lol.

She is prone to anxiety, but never like this shit

It intrigues me too.

At first I thought it was just the edible batch that she ate.
But then my brother tripped the fuck out on a bong rip of high % delta 8.

I'm watching closely as different people I know try D8 for the first time, I'll admit the first spliff I rolled last week hit me in a familiar yet different way, but nothing insane.

I've also done a lot of psychedelics in the past so I'm quite used to that psychoactive "wave of anxiety" that hits before an actual trip.

I haven't tried oils or droppers yet, I'm nostalgic about my flower even though I know that oil would be more cost effective

 

[thegreenhand]

Interesting phenonenom, but ofc n=2 so I wouldn’t draw any conclusions just yet

how experienced are they with drugs in general? newbies to altered states of mind are generally more prone to panic when a high is different than they expected

that said, delta 8 strains some of the only cannabis strains that DONT give me panic attacks lol

 

[Delsyd]

Delta 8 should be treated no different than regalar delta 9 THC.

 

[MagicMCStuffin]

Only made me sound drunk/slur. Nothing like tch9. Personally wouldn’t do again

 

[MagicMCStuffin]

I've been vaping d8 for a few months now and I have to say I really enjoy it. Better than d9? ehhh... arguable in some situations but I would say definitely not.

Anyways, I decided to buy some edible d8 treats the other day to try it out. I read some anecdotal reports that d8 is metabolized to 11-hydroxy in the gut just like d9 thc, but couldn't find any real studies to support those claims. I tried it out anyways.

I ate 200mg on an empty stomach (except for a fatty cheese danish thing to help absorption). Overall it was really disappointing. My tolerance was relatively low as I had not vaped in 2-3 days.

After 2 hours I definitely had a buzz, but it was less pleasurable than simply vaping d8. It was purely a body buzz and it wasn't very good even at that. I was relaxed and buzzed, for sure, but it was very unremarkable. After 3-4 hours I started getting dizzy and just went to bed because I couldn't enjoy video games anymore. Minimal psychoactivity, no trippiness or head high.

It was overall a boring experience and a waste of money IMO. d8 THC definitely does NOT metabolize into 11-hydroxy (or if it does, it stays as delta 8 not 11-hydroxy-d9THC).

I'm going to stick to vaping it now.

Oh well. Any of you guys enjoy edible d8-thc?

No - 300 mg just makes me sound drunk but I’m normal. Lame.

Are you sure you’re material is actually d8? I’ve had a few bad batches that did less than others but I’ve never had any that effected me like that.. I suppose we’re all different but idk does d9 have similar effects on you or do you react normally to it?

High doses of both d8 and d9 can bring on a sort of "drunkenness" in me. More like a combination of feeling dizzy + stoned, not like alcohol, but in a way I would describe it as a drunkenness type feeling
