Absolutely. But not in the way you might expect. Unlike T.H.C. which can be extremely potent in edible form, D8 promises a sharper and more focused high. This means you won’t experience the heavy limbs, foggy head or lethargic comedowns that are often associated with smoking joints or eating T.H.C. edibles.

Many prefer to use D8 as a sleep aid and relaxer while others use D9 to boost energy and creativity. The effects of D8 can be euphoric and soothing without anxiety or paranoia.

Like D9 T.H.C., D8 T.H.C. is a hemp compound with psycho-tropic properties. The naturally occurring compound is one of more than 100 cann'abinoids found in hemp, a genus of flowering plants with therapeutic benefits that humans have been harnessing for centuries. While both D9 and D8 T.H.C. will get you high, the latter offers a much milder and less intense experience than its potent cousin. 

D8 is an isomer of T.H.C., sharing an almost identical molecular structure. While they’re virtually duplicates, the pair do have a few notable differences. Chemically speaking, D9 T.H.C. has a double bond on the ninth carbon chain while D8 T.H.C. has a double bond on the eighth carbon chain. 

Unlike T.H.C., D8 can also be extracted from hemp. This makes it a legal substance in most US states. The 2018 Farm Bill classed naturally derived hemp products as legal under federal law. The mild and clear-headed effects of D8, coupled with the fact the cann'abinoid is federally legal in most states, has helped propel it to new highs. 

Our cann'abinoid-infused edibles contain 25mg of D8 distillate per gummy, what we like to call the magic number. You may start to feel the effects within half an hour, though it can sometimes take up to 90 minutes for your D8 gummy to kick in. The high should peak around two to three hours after consumption. 

It’s also worth mentioning that onset times may vary based on your digestive system, as well as whether you’ve eaten in the past few hours. Some consumers prefer to enjoy D8 gummies on an empty stomach to fast-track the effects. Others like to use D8 gummies after a meal for a slower and more mellow experience.  

The suggested serving size for a typical consumer is approximately one gummy, which contains 25mg of D8 distillate. This is enough to give even seasoned connoisseurs a clear-headed high. If you’re chasing a longer and more intense high, it’s not unusual to pop two or even three gummies in the same session. Ultimately, it depends on how your body reacts and your experience with hemp in general. 

The high usually lasts for around five to eight hours, though again this can vary between consumers. If you’re more sensitive to T.H.C. or just starting out with edibles, start with half a gummy or even a quarter. As highs usually peak at the two to three-hour mark, we wouldn’t recommend increasing your dosage until at least three hours after taking your first gummy. Once you’ve got a few sessions under your belt you’ll quickly learn what works best for you. There’s no rush so take things slow to get the most out of your guide to D8 gummies. 

As a naturally derived derivative of the hemp plant, D8 gummies are not only safe but also federally legal in most states. The cann'abinoid is around 70% as potent as D9 T.H.C., making it a great alternative for consumers chasing a more laid-back high. 

As well as delivering a smoother head and body high, D8 offers the same anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) benefits associated with T.H.C. and C.B.D. The cann'abinoid is also a powerful antiemetic medication (used to treat nausea and vomiting), as well as a proven orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and analgesic (pain reliever).

Of course, the dosage is an important part of using D8 safely and responsibly. This is where pre-packaged and well-labeled gummies really step up. When you pop a Cannessentials D8 gummy you know exactly how much distillate you’re consuming. This makes it easy to control your dosage, space out your gummies, and enjoy a smoother, more relaxing high.
