Delta-8: What you need to know to get started

Have you ever stood in front of a wall of Delta-8 in the vape shop and didn’t know where to start? You are not alone! Dosing THC can be difficult, even for savvy cannabis users. And since Delta-8 is new to the cannabis market, it’s difficult to get a straight answer on how much to take.

While some of the dosing guidelines are the same as for weed or CBD, that doesn’t mean your ideal Delta-8 dose is the same, according to Robert Como, founder of Hi On Nature, which makes high-end Delta-8 products “The makeup of the different forms of THC is unique, he says, “as are the goals, body chemistry, and tolerance levels of the people who use it.”

Begin and be aware of the end

Start at the same place as with any other cannabis product, which is to know what you want to achieve with Delta-8. Your goals could be:

  • Treating pain, anxiety, or nausea without a high
  • A light high that provides clarity and energy throughout the day
  • Occasional recreational use with less risk of developing paranoia
  • Serious recreational use with an intense high

“Part of the appeal of Delta-8 is that it has such a wide range of applications,” says Como. “There’s a perfect product and optimal dose for everyone, and knowing your end goal can help you figure out where to start.”

Choose the right starting dose

As with other forms of THC, your response to Delta-8 will depend on your tolerance, which is determined by your body chemistry, weight, and age. “If you’re a regular cannabis user, you probably have an idea of ​​where to start,” Como advises, “but if you’ve never used Delta-8 before, we recommend starting with a lower dose and building up from there increase.”

At Hi On Nature, dosages range from 10mg of Cub Scouts Gummy Bears to their flagship product, 2500mg of Space Rings. “We produce a full range of doses and a variety of delivery methods that make it easy for you to work your way up to get the effect you want,” says Como.

For those who are new to cannabis or have only used CBD in the past, he recommends starting with 10 milligrams or less.

What you should know before trying Delta-8

Delta-8 may have a delayed onset of effects compared to other forms of THC. “If you’re trying Delta-8 for the first time, give it adequate time to sink in before considering adding more,” advises Como. For gummy bears, effects can be delayed by up to 4 hours, although 1-2 hours is more common. Other delivery methods like vaporizing or tinctures may work faster.

Como recommends following the guidelines on the product packaging closely until you are familiar with your individual response to Delta-8. For more information on Delta-8 or to explore Hi On Nature’s full range of products, visit their website.
