What is Delta 8 Candy?

Delta 8 candy is simply candy that’s been infused with delta 8 THC. 

Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 8 THC or delta 8) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in the hemp plant. 

Delta 8 is made synthetically for use in products because it only occurs in very small amounts. 

Like delta 9 THC, the naturally abundant version of THC, delta 8 is psychoactive and will get you high, but it’s just half as strong.

Is Delta 8 Candy Legal?

Yes. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, which has been extended through 2024, delta 8 THC is federally legal as long as it is derived from the hemp plant. Therefore, delta 8 candy is legal on a federal level. 

However, delta 8 is illegal in some states – be sure to check your state’s laws before purchasing delta 8 candy or other products online.

What Are the Effects of Delta 8 Candy?

Most people characterize the effects of our delta 8 candy as euphoric, relaxing, and uplifting. Delta 8 THC is psychoactive, so you will feel high after consuming these elevated treats. 

The high from delta 8 is roughly ½ as strong as the high from delta 9 THC, which is the primary cannabinoid in cannabis.

Delta 8’s high is spread fairly evenly across the mind and body. Contrast this with delta 9, which primarily affects the mind.

Benefits of Delta 8 Candy

As of right now, there isn’t a lot of scientific research on delta 8 THC’s therapeutic benefits. 

However, in 2022, researchers from the University of Buffalo examined the potential benefits of delta 8 THC by surveying 521 delta 8 users about their experience. 

71% of users reported experiencing relaxation, 68% reported euphoria, and 55% reported pain relief after using delta 8 THC products. 

More critically, 74% of participants did not experience anxiety and 83% didn’t experience paranoia. Both of these side effects are common with delta 9; delta 8 offers a milder alternative and is less likely to cause these effects. 

Based on this survey, delta 8 THC candy may be beneficial in the following areas:

• Pain – Delta 8 THC may promote physical support. Compared to delta 9, delta 8’s high is more body-focused.
• Anxiety – Delta 8 is commonly used for anxiety due its euphoric, uplifting effects. And as the survey showed, it’s less likely than delta 9 to cause anxiety or paranoia. 
• Sleep – In addition to supporting a relaxed mental state, delta 8 promotes a healthy-pain-free body, further contributing to restful sleep. 
• Energy & Focus – Most people report that delta 8 gives uplifting and energizing feelings. Some people use it for creative projects because of this.

How Much Delta 8 Candy Should You Eat?

If you’re new to using delta 8 candy or other delta 8 products, we recommend using a weight-based formula to calculate your starting dose. 

The formula is:

(0.05) x (your body weight in lbs.) = your daily dose of delta 8 in mg. 

For most people, this amount is between 5-12mg. Based on this, you can figure out how much delta 8 candy you should eat, depending on the strength of your product. 

If you’re new to using delta 8, taking small amounts and gradually working your way up will reduce your chances of feeling adverse effects.
