Delta 8 THC Pre rolls: How They Work in the Body?

Pre rolls or blunts are usually the first way many of us experience cannabis and THC. Whether you’ve been smoking for a while or are brand new to cannabis, you may be curious about Delta 8 THC pre rolls and how they differ from a traditional pre roll. This blog will explain what Delta 8 THC is in detail, and talk about the differences between a Delta 8 pre roll and a traditional pre roll.

What is Delta 8 THC?

D8 THC is one of many cannabinoids present in cannabis and hemp flower. You’re probably more familiar with Delta 9 THC, which is the most common and well understood cannabinoid. D9 THC is the chemical component in cannabis that gives you the high everyone associates with cannabis.

Will Delta 8 THC get me high?

Yes, Delta 8 THC will get you high. Delta 8 THC is similar to Delta 9 THC, so you can expect a similar, but less intense high.

Is Delta 8 THC Legal?

Legality of Delta 8 THC varies by state but most states do recognize Delta 8 THC as legal. Many of the states that allow Delta 8 THC do not allow Delta 9 THC or full cannabis products, meaning Delta 8 THC is the only choice if you’re looking to experience cannabis or cannabinoids.

What are Delta 8 THC Pre rolls?

If you’re unfamiliar with pre rolls, they are essentially blunts that are rolled for you. Producers like us will take cannabis flower or hemp (in this instance, D8 flower), pack it into rolling paper, seal it, and put it in a scent locking tube or other packaging to prevent the aroma and flavors from seeping through. Pre rolls are the simplest way of enjoying cannabis or cannabinoids.

How do you light a Delta 8 Pre roll?

To light your pre roll, you just need a lighter or match. Get a flame going and hold it up to the fat end(not the part with the filter). Rotate as needed to make sure that the entire tip of the pre roll is lit evenly.

Are Delta 8 Pre rolls different from regular pre rolls?

For all intents and purposes, Delta 8 pre rolls are packed and rolled the exact same way as a regular pre roll. The actual effects of Delta 8 flower and D8 THC are different from D9 THC or regular cannabis flower, but in terms of lighting the pre roll and smoking it, you can follow the same process you normally would.

What Happens When You Smoke Weed?

Whether you’re smoking a D8 pre roll or a blunt packed with regular flower, you will feel the effects almost immediately after inhaling. When you smoke weed, the cannabinoids carried by the smoke get into your body’s system and give you the experience usually referred to as a “high”.

Are There Different Strains of Delta 8?

You can buy D8 flower infused with different terpenes to have the same taste and similar effects you would expect when smoking a d9 equivalent of the same strain.

Indica Vs Sativa Vs Hybrid Carts: What You Need To Know.

Whether you’re a vape enthusiast looking to dip your toes into THC vapes, or a regular THC user trying out carts for the first time, THC carts can get confusing. Only in the past few years has the language about the different kinds of vape carts gotten more consistent and uniform across the industry. This blog will break down what Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid mean and explain what the difference is between indica carts, sativa carts, and hybrid carts.

About the names: Indica Vs Sativa Vs Hybrid

The classification of Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid comes from cannabis and different strains. Most people think Indica and Sativa refer to the effects you can expect when using them, but the names are actually used to differentiate the physical attributes of these plants. The physical differences in these plants usually do contribute to the difference in effects. As we’ll explain later, Indica and Sativa have pretty consistent effects but sometimes a strain of Sativa will impact your body in similar ways to an Indica. While this is true for traditional flower, most vapes use the Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid labels the same way consumers think of them.

Indica Carts : Effects And Expectations

With the introduction of cannabinoids like Delta 8 THC, carts made with cannabinoids derived from hemp contain a concentrated amount of Delta 8 THC and terpenes from various strains. The inclusion of Delta 8 THC provides a high similar to that of D9 thc, but not as strong. Indica strains are associated with full-body highs and heavy relaxation. People usually smoke indica towards the end of their day to unwind.

Characteristics:

  • Provides a body high.
  • Promotes relaxation and calmness.

Sativa Carts: Effects and Expectations

Sativa carts are in many ways the opposite of indica carts. Sativa cartridges like the Amnesia Sativa Cartridge are tailored for those seeking a boost in mood, creativity, or concentration. These can be used at any time of day, but they are most commonly used towards the start of the day and mid-day. If you’re looking for the giddy cannabis experience depicted in movies and tv shows, you’re looking for a sativa cart.

Characteristics:

  • Stimulates the mind, offering a cerebral high.
  • Boosts energy and elevates mood.
  • Ideal for combating fatigue and enhancing focus.

Hybrid Cartridges: The Balanced Experience

Hybrid carts provide a balanced high somewhere between the experiences of sativa and indica. As an example, our Girl Scout Cookies Hybrid Cartridge mixes some relaxing indica characteristics with the creativity and upliftedness of sativa. Hybrids are a great way for people new to cannabis to get started as sometimes the extreme slant towards calm or giddy can be unpleasant.

Characteristics:

  • Combines traits of both Indica and Sativa.
  • Can be either Indica or Sativa dominant.
  • Offers a balanced experience, tailored to user preferences.

Sativa vs Indica vs Hybrid – What is right for you?

Simply put, this depends on your needs and what you’re looking to get out of the experience. If you’re looking for an uplifting high, you’ll want a sativa cart. If you just want to chill and unwind, your best bet is an indica. If you want a level high that you can experience at any time of day, try a hybrid. Regardless of what you choose, make sure you’re checking the COAs to identify the levels of THC and CBD in the carts, and look into the strains mentioned on the carts to see what their specific effects are. Look out for specific mood descriptors like “uplifting” or “dreamy” – these will give you a good idea of what to expect when using the vapes.

Is Delta 8 THC Legal? A Guide to Delta 8 THC and Delta 8 THC Carts

A Brief History on Cannabinoids and Delta 8 THC

The cannabis market has changed significantly in the past few years. Back in 2018, the US farm bill included provisions making it federally legal to sell cannabinoid products derived from hemp, as long as they contained less than .3% Delta 9 THC. One of the biggest winners of this legislation was Delta 8 THC. Delta 8 THC is a softer version of Delta 9 THC. It is still psychoactive, meaning you will still feel the head high associated with cannabis and D9 products, but it isn’t as harsh. 

Is Delta 8 THC Still Legal? 

Most states still allow the purchase and sale of Delta 8 THC products including D8 THC carts. Some states that recently legalized recreational cannabis use also implemented bans on hemp derived cannabinoids like D8 THC. 

What are Delta 8 THC Carts and how do you use them?

THC carts are vape carts with THC in them, D8 carts in particular are carts that have Delta 8 THC derived from hemp and less than .3% Delta 9 THC. These carts are made by combining Delta 8 THC from hemp with terpenes derived from cannabis. These terpenes don’t have THC but they do carry the flavors you associate with the cannabis plant. 

What is the difference between Delta 8 THC Carts and D8 Disposables?

Delta 8 THC Disposables are single use vape devices that you can throw away once you’ve used all of the juice inside of them. You can recharge the battery on disposables, but you can’t replace the vape carts with the Delta 8 THC inside of the disposables. D8 Carts are just the cart without a battery. Most carts use universal 510 threading, which is the standard thread size for vapes. You can use vape carts like these with almost any vape device including pens and full sized packs. Once you’ve used all the juice in the cart, you can throw the cart out and replace it with a fresh one. 

What is Better – D8 Carts or D8 Disposables?

It’s up to personal preference – D8 disposables are more convenient for first time vapers that might not have their own vape pen or rig, but they are usually a little more expensive than the carts themselves. If you vape consistently, you’ll get a better deal buying carts instead of disposables. Disposables are also worse for the environment since they come with batteries and more packaging than a disposable. In terms of vape quality, the juice inside of disposables and carts is usually identical. If you have your own pen, you may have additional heat settings or other controls that aren’t available with a disposable, but outside of that your experience will be the same. 

How Do You Know If A D8 Cart Is Legit?

D8 has been around for a few years but there are still some questions about safety and legitimacy. To verify that the D8 cart or disposable you’re buying is legitimate and has real d8 thc in it, check the lab report included on the website you’re buying from. Lab reports, sometimes called certificates of analysis or COAs, tell you how much of each cannabinoid is within a product. This is useful for knowing if a product really has D8 THC in it, as well as verifying that it has less than .3% Delta 9 THC in it for legal purposes. If you don’t see a COA posted on a website you are buying from, that is one indicator that the seller may not be selling real D8.  If you’re buying D8 vapes in person, some products have QR codes you can scan with your phone to check the COA. 

Is vaping better than smoking?

Vaping and smoking have their own strengths and weaknesses. One thing vaping does have over smoking is the effect on your lungs. Smoke is significantly harsher on your lungs than vapor. If you’ve never smoked before or have tried it and know that it is too harsh for you, you may have a more enjoyable experience trying to vape. In terms of THC delivery, smoking and vaping are both effective. One of the most common ways of smoking is by using a bong. Our friends at Olofly have a great informational piece on bong usage statistics and tons of information on bongs and how they interact with cannabis and cannabinoids.

Which D8 Carts Are The Best?

This is also up to personal preference – if you have tried cannabis and are familiar with strains, you can likely find D8 carts with terpenes from your favorite strains. D8 carts in different strains will affect your body differently. Check product descriptions, reviews, and strain information for specific products to see what kind of effects you can expect. Some D8 carts will give you a burst of creativity and energy while others might relax you and make it easier to get to bed.
