What are Delta 8 Drinks?
Delta 8 drinks are beverages that have been infused with delta 8 THC, an isomer of delta 9 THC.
Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 8 THC or delta 8) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in the hemp plant.
While it is natural, delta 8 is made synthetically for use in products because it only naturally 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.

How Do Delta 8 Drinks Make You Feel?
Most people characterize the effects of delta 8 drinks as euphoric, relaxing, and uplifting. Delta 8 THC is psychoactive, so you will feel high after consuming a delta 8 beverage. The high from delta 8 is roughly ½ as strong as the high from delta 9 THC, which is the cannabinoid in cannabis.
Delta 8 tends to spread its effects fairly evenly across the mind and body. Contrast this with delta 9, which primarily affects the mind.
Benefits of Delta 8 Drinks
As of right now, there isn’t a lot of scientific research on delta 8 THC’s therapeutic benefits.
However, in 2022, researchers 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 drinks 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.

To minimize or avoid these side effects, start by only drinking a small amount of delta 8 and slowly working you way up.
