I actually prefer Δ8 to smoking a joint
I get a lot of sass from my buddies when we're hanging out and they're passing a joint while I pass and prefer my Δ8 vape (or gummies).
I used to be right there with them, often bogarting the hell out of it, but ever since I officially became old, I just don't enjoy getting "stupid" high anymore; I'm such a lightweight these days I can't even just take a small puff without it being more than I want. I'd much rather have a light head change and still be mostly clear headed.
I'm not a square, just old and happy with my less intense buzz :)
I'm actually with you on that one 👍
Confused though, am I supposed to upvote or downvote this post? Meh, too lazy to do either. Smoke whatever you want, or don't, all cool with me.
Hell yeah 💯 (and I dunno on the votes lol)
Yeah, same. I just don't have the time to carve out multiple hours getting high. With ∆8, I can take a hit before getting in the shower, and I'm basically sober when I head off to work.
yeah it's really easy to regulate or even micro-dose with the little d8 pens. Prob one of my favorite things about them. The gummies, though, will still get you plenty dumb. I usually cut them into quarters (they're fairly big) and that's about where I want to be.
Personally I used to enjoy a dab of d8 more than I would enjoy smoking weed, but since I've had access to cheap d9 concentrates I haven't really gone back to d8 at all. I like that d8 doesn't come with as many side effects like tingles in various parts of my body and anxiety in general. But I prefer the experience of d9 concentrates much more and I've come to appreciate flower more as well. I don't understand all the hate Delta 8 gets at all because it's hemp derived and extremely similar to "regular" THC and most people I think just misunderstand it.
That's understandable. I prefer vaping over a joint though simply due to the fact that it uses lower temperatures and so you get more of the THC.
Yeah, I used to do the dry herb vapes. They were nice, but cleaning them was a chore. Never could afford a Volcano when I was still a regular smoker, but I inherited a dry herb pen vape from a buddy who upgraded. 10/10 would recommend (despite the cleaning required)
Definitely the first person I've personally seen say that, that's a long term weed user. I don't doubt there's plenty that would agree with you, I just haven't run into them.
I tried some cbd oil the my arthritis and such, and it worked okay without any weirdness (I can't smoke weed, it majorly screws me up in a bad way), so I've been thinking about trying D8 to see if it can add to the pain relief factor without messing with me. I'm just gunshy lol. A two hour descent into hell is not something I enjoy, and if the D8 hits me the same as regular weed does, I'd not be happy.
It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC does, just not as strong/intense and doesn't last as long. For me, that's the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it's a common complaint.
If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I'll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.
I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).
Please don't take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.
Hey I appreciate the tips, thank you!
