Well, the popularity of Cannabinoid products is increasing day by day. Derivatives of Cannabis and hemp are known to help support several ailments.

Though Cannabinoid products are a known remedy to stress, anxiety, and depression, however, some people avoid using the concentrates of Cannabinoids for their potency.

Not all potential derivatives cause psychotropic effects or ‘mental high’, but that does not mean they cannot.

For example, if we talk about delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, it can provide the customers with its medicinal effects, but it comes with psychoactive properties, getting you ‘high’.

What is Delta-8-THC?

Delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid found in very trace amounts in the cannabis and hemp plant. It is usually extracted from the flowers of the hemp plant.

Can Delta 8 THC get you High?

Well, this is a widely asked question because many people who are prone to anxiety and depression want to use Cannabidiols but are afraid of having the psychotropic effects of the drugs.

The answer is NO. Delta 8 THC does not cause a ‘mental high’ because potency is two-thirds less potent than the usual delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

How does Delta 8 THC work?

Like all the other Cannabidiols, delta 8 THC acts on the endocannabinoid system of the human brain.

The endocannabinoid system is actually made up of cannabinoid receptors, neurotransmitters, and enzymes that work together to regulate several things in your body.

How does delta 8 THC work on the endocannabinoid system, and what exactly is its mechanism of action?

Delta 8 THC binds with one of the many receptors of the endocannabinoid system. The receptor is called the CB1 receptor and is known to regulate anxiety.

When this CB1 receptor somehow gets blocked in the endocannabinoid system, it causes increasing anxiety and stressful situations, and delta 8 THC initiates an anti-anxiety response in the endocannabinoid system and blocks the effects of anxiety on the body.

How to Use Delta 8 THC for Anxiety?

You can find different products of delta 8 THC in the market, and you can freely use it the way you want to use the products, but it may somehow change the action time of the product.

Different forms of delta 8 THC products are

ü  Tinctures and oils

ü  Vape cartridges

ü  Edibles (gummies, gel capsules)

ü  CBD rich hemp flowers which are additionally sprayed with delta 8 THC

ü  Hemp flowers enriched with delta 8 THC terpenes and oils

What is the most important factor when it comes to delta 8 THC? The dosage is the most crucial factor when it comes to how the product works on anxiety.

If you are taking the right units, not only will it subside the symptoms of stress and anxiety, but it will also save you from potential side effects.

If you are a beginner, you should stick to the units in micrograms or as per your doctor’s directions. The product of delta 8 THC that you are using actually decides how much time the D8 will require to take action and to what doses should you stick.

For example, if you are smoking or vaping delta 8 THC, you should first stick to one puff and wait for the effects of the drug before taking the second puff.

Inhaling delta 8 THC through vaping is the fastest way of getting delta 8 THC into your body. And you should always take delta 8 THC after meals to avoid any potential side effects.
