Dosing Delta 8 Edibles – How Much Should You Actually Take?

How much of a Delta-8 edible should I take?” is likely one of the first questions you’ll have once opened a package of IndaCloud nano gummies, chocolates, and candies. As is the case with any Delta 8 THC-infused product, there is no “one size fits all” dosing for optimal results as the effects of cannabinoids are highly dependent on your individualized endocannabinoid system. There are however some helpful guidelines to follow to find your sweet spot of desired effects.

Dosing Basics for Delta 8 THC Edibles

While wholesale Delta 8 edibles may resemble CBD products that are on the market, THC and CBD are actually quite different so following proper dosing is important. The key difference is that Delta 8 THC is psychoactive – meaning it produces a “high” effect – whereas CBD is non-psychoactive. While both are sourced from the hemp plant, the difference in the cannabinoid that is extracted produces different results for each substance.

Casual or frequent cannabis users may find that Delta 8 THC is not nearly as intense or “foggy” as traditional forms of THC. By contrast, CBD consumers, or folks who’ve never used THC products may find Delta 8 to be substantially potent.

Delta 8 edibles are foods infused with cannabis containing Delta 8 THC. With recent advancements in infusion methods, you can find a wide selection of Delta 8-infused edibles today such as baked goods, chocolates, beverages, even THC gummy bears, and more.

One major benefit to consuming cannabis-infused edibles is the ability to feel the effects of cannabis without having to smoke flower or vaporize concentrates. Delta 8 edibles are easy to dose, discreet, portable, and tasty, making them a solid choice for people looking to try cannabis.

What are Delta 8 edibles?

Delta 8 THC edibles are simply edible food products that contain cannabinoids, the organic chemical compounds that make up the cannabis plant. While Delta 8 edibles, also known as d8 edibles, may also contain other cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, or THCv, the composition is largely made up of Delta 8 THC known to be useful for its psychoactive effects similarly associated with other common forms of THC. Edibles may take on many forms of food and beverage and can be served up in a wide range of dosages from small microdoses of 2.5mg up to more standard amounts between 10-25mg.

Another advantage Delta 8 THC edibles offer over other types of consumption is the prolonged onset of effects, as the THC stays in your system longer than vaping or smoking. In order to take effect, edibles must pass through your digestive system, processed through your liver, and then absorbed into your bloodstream. Consumers might prefer the prolonged effects as a way to help ease their mind or to rest.

Will I get high from a Delta-8 edible?

Delta 8 THC has been identified as a common cannabinoid, Delta 8 Tetrahydrocannabinol, in marijuana and hemp and it holds psychoactive properties, offering a sensation consumers might call a “buzz” or a “head high,” but not an overwhelming “bad trip” that can be associated with many first-timers ingesting edibles. Delta 8 THC delivers a similar experience to traditional cannabis, not unlike CBD and Delta 9 THC, it may lead to relaxation, focus, and uplifting moods.

How long does it take to feel the effects of Delta 8?

Edible products can take effect upwards of 60 minutes after consumption, but keep in mind the effects last longer than other forms of cannabis-infused products. Many consumers inhaling Delta 8 will experience the effects in minutes, but the experience won’t last for too long.

The Guiding Principle of Dosing: Start Low, Go Slow

Not everyone has the same reaction to the same cannabis products. Depending on your size, the amount you take, and familiarity with cannabis products, people will have different experiences — even at the exact same dosage. Therefore, the resounding wisdom for dosing is to start small and allow at least an hour to see how it makes you feel.

For a 25mg Delta 8 THC edible, consider starting your session with half dose (12.5 mg) or a quarter (6.25 mg). The dose can always be increased over time, but be sure to give your body an hour to metabolize the edible. A common mistake a lot of first time consumers make is getting impatient after taking an initial dose, not waiting to see if it’s working, then taking more too quickly. This can result in an uncomfortable high, and poor first experience so take your time and find the best fit for you.

How to Know a Delta 8 THC Edible is Working

Among the many reported effects of Delta 8 edibles, be on the lookout for these telltale signs that your edible has kicked in:

  • It may stimulate your appetite
  • It may curb nausea
  • It may spark your productivity
  • It may help your anxiety subside
  • It may help you relax and rest

Expect the duration of your high to last for up to several hours, though the intensity will generally decrease after the first hour.
