Dope CBD review 2022

Dope CBD deals in CBD vape cartridges, capsules, edibles, and topicals, offering them in full- and broad-spectrum formulations. Although the original brand under which Dope CBD was formed came into existence in 2007, the latter only came into being later and became a standalone brand in June 2021. It offers CBD products with 20- 600 mg CBD concentrations and cost $2.49- $60, posing an average price point of $0.08 per mg CBD, much lower than the market average. Edible products in the company’s inventory offer tastes and flavors and come in fruity varieties. The company uses the clean CO2 extraction method to isolate CBD oil from its US-sourced high-quality hemp and formulates them with MCT oil for increased bioavailability. The respective product pages provide sufficient information about the CBD items and have links to 3rd party lab tests for purity against standard contaminants like heavy metals, solvents, microbials, residues, and mycotoxins, and THC & CBD potency. Here is the full 2022 review for the brand, which helps one establish whether the brand measures up to deserve your pence.

About the Company

According to the website, Dope CBD aims to offer people a revolutionary CBD experience by bringing consumers ethically sourced high-quality hemp, employing high-quality extraction systems and methods, and incorporating modern counter-culture influences.

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Despite Dope CBD having many pros, we identified the following cons with it;

  • It does not deal in isolates, and all its products feature broad- and full-spectrum CBD formulations
  • The company mainly offer low-concentration CBD products, offering nothing for veteran CBD enthusiasts who might want highly-concentrated products
  • The $50 free shipping threshold may be too high for the low-income household consumers to afford
  • The website lacks a centralized hub for posting lab results

Our Verdict

Dope CBD is an American CBD brand specializing in vape cartridges, topicals, capsules, and edibles with 20- 600 mg CBD concentrations and that cost $2.49- $60. We appreciated many things about the company, including its using non-GMO, organic hemp, and the clean CO2 extraction method to manufacture CBD products in a cGMP-compliant facility. Besides, it has an average price point of $0.08 per mg CBD which is below the market average, offers free shipping for orders worth $50 and above and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and diligently liaises with modern 3rd party labs to conduct lab tests, after which it posts the results on the respective product pages. Nonetheless, it has a few areas to improve to perform better in the hemp space, including the $50 free shipping threshold, which happens to be a bit expensive, and it lacks a centralized hub for posting all lab reports for easy viewership. Besides, it lacks isolate-based products and only limits itself to a few product lines, with the highest CBD concentration being 600 mg. Improving these areas will help the brand see higher heights in the hemp space.

Cannabidiol life CBD review

Cannabidiol Life is an outstanding brand based on how they present their information. The company’s website contains relevant information, making it easy for first-time customers to understand its efforts for quality control. The company offers directives on using the products and their effectiveness which is important to new users. Also, they have proved to be good ambassadors of CBD products since they have partnered with other non-CBD brands to sensitive people on hemp-based products. The company manufactures quality products and tests them for purity and potency to ensure they are safe for consumption. Also, despite offering quality products, their prices are relatively lower compared to its potential competitors. Cannabidiol Life CBD stresses on quality from the seed level until the goods are delivered to customers. However, they have not been clear on where they source their hemp, causing a lot of uncertainties since quality hemp is considered to come from Colorado and Oregon.

About the company

Even before the company was established, it had already begun championing hemp-based products since it found them effective in improving people’s health and wellness. Eleven months later, they established their brand to offer quality CBD products. Before founding the company, they researched the effectiveness of hemp on human health. Their research helped people understand the health benefits of hemp-based products and why they are better than other products. The research has been availed on their website, among other educational tutorials, and can be downloaded. They officially launched their brand in 2017 and have sold over 50,000 products within USA borders, CBD Gummy Bear being their best-selling product with over 10,000 positive reviews.

Their products are manufactured using a vertically integrated system to ensure quality. The quality check begins from the seed level until the hemp is harvested. After harvesting, the hemp is tested for purity levels by their in-house lab to ensure its 100% organic. Also, they have manufacturing and marketing experts who ensure their products are delivered quickly and that customers’ concerns are addressed promptly. Buying products from Cannabidiol Life CBD is straightforward since their product catalog is divided according to the line of products, that is, ingest, inhales, topicals, pet products, and samples. Depending on the concerns to be addressed, you can choose the products you find easy to use.

The company offers product descriptions to enhance customers’ buying experience. Although the product description is not offered on the product catalog, you can access it by clicking on various products. The company has included the formulation (full spectrum), ingredients, lab results, how to administer it, and its purpose. If you are satisfied with the description and find the product relevant, you can add it to your shopping cart. After adding all the required products, check your cart to ensure you don’t have excess or unwanted products. If you find surplus or undesired products, click on “remove to cart,” and it will be off your shopping list in one go. After approving payments, you will receive an email confirming your order and a tracking number to help you locate your products until they are delivered.

Our products were delivered discreetly packed on the third day of approving the order. Although the products were safe, we had to return to their refund and return policies to address customers whose products had been damaged. According to the website, the company accepts the exchange of damaged goods within 48 hours. On the other hand, since they believe in the quality of their products, they offer 60 days full refund to customers who find their products ineffective.

Since reputation and customer satisfaction are among their top priorities, they allow their customers to give feedback about the effectiveness of their products, their customer support team, and the buying experience. Also, the company has an Instagram and Facebook page to allow active interaction of its customers. Customers can reach the support team through the social media platforms or the contact details provided on the “Contact Us” page. On their contact page, they have provided their physical address, phone number (1-833-YAY-HEMP), email address ([email protected]), live chat, and message box. We reached out to its support team via email, asking for more information regarding their farming practices and where they got their hemp from. One of their support staff responded within two hours. The response was precise and satisfactory.

Manufacturing Process

The company has acquired FDA certification as an organic hemp-based manufacturer. To attain quality products, they have employed a professional team to help them manufacture and oversee all operations from the seed level. Also, they have marketers who oversee the performance of their products in the market and guide the company where adjustments are necessary. Despite highly relying on organic hemp, they also use other ingredients to maximize effectiveness. Before any ingredient is used, a team of researchers identifies the effective organic elements.

Since the company is determined to offer quality products, they use the CO2 extraction method to extract useful cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. After extraction, the extracts undergo filtration to remove any harmful particles such as heavy metals before and after processing. Before any products are sold, they are tested for purity and potency. According to their website, the company uses an independent third-party lab to obtain accurate lab reports, unlike public labs frequently linked to offering inaccurate results. The lab ensures CBD variance doesn’t exceed 10% and the THC levels are below the 0.3% standard limit. Lastly, they have to ensure all the products occur organically. The lab conducts contaminant tests and ensures no harmful substance or chemical exists in the products.

Range of products

According to their website, all products are formulated in full-spectrum using organic CO2 hemp plant extracts alongside other natural elements to enhance effectiveness. The company’s products include tinctures, capsules, topicals, gummies and inhales, and pet products. They are also manufactured in a wide range of potency to meet the needs of veterans and beginners.

Cannabidiol Life CBD Ingest

Their ingest products include capsules, CBD oils, isolates, CBG, and CBN. The company focuses on the ingest since they are directly consumed and can instantly affect consumers if manufactured using poisonous chemicals. Out of all their products, customers find their gummies more preferable. The company has among the best gummies in the market, manufactured in full-spectrum and in various flavors to make them irresistible and enhance the chewing experience. In addition, CBD gummies are preferred because they are discreet and easy to move around with. The company manufactures its gummies in a potency range of 300 mg to 1500 mg and recommends them for oral use only.

Cannabidiol Life CBD Inhales

Inhales are produced by very few CBD companies. Cannabidiol Life CBD manufactures vapes, wax, dabbing, among others. Theirs inhales are manufactured using organic CO2 hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil to maximize effectiveness and quality. After manufacturing, they are tested for potency and purity to ensure they contain THC levels below 0.3%. According to the positive customer reviews, they are the second-best products.

Cannabidiol Life apply products

If you do not like the natural taste of the hemp plant, Cannabidiol Life CBD offers topical products with a similar function as the inhales or ingests. The company also offers beauty creams to keep skin glowing and prevent early aging. Their skin products are plant-based and lack any trace of chemicals that might be harmful. Besides hemp plant and MCT oil, various oil-rich herbs have been considered for smooth application and rapid effectiveness. The company’s products include roll-ons, bath bombs, and body creams, all recommended for topical use only.

Cannabidiol Life CBD pet products

The company has a team of veterinary doctors controlling the manufacturing of its pet products to ensure quality is attained. They are given similar attention to human products and are accurately assessed by their lab for safety and quality. These pet products are crafted using organic hemp extracts with MCT oil to help pets adapt to new environments, reduce stress, and improve their general health. Notably, the company offers a prescription to avoid overdosing.

What we like about the company

The company has proved to be outstanding even in its priorities. According to their website, consumers come first. They provide adequate information and offer various contact teams to clarify any concerns from its customers. Cannabidiol Life has set the pace for upcoming and existing companies in the way they handle their priorities and by being good ambassadors of CBD. They go around the 50 states educating people on the importance of using CBD products. The company is committed to enlightening people on the significance of using hemp-based products and helping them understand more about CBD.

What we don’t like about the company

Although Cannabidiol Life CBD has successfully handled key areas, few need adjustments. The company has not stated where they obtain their hemp, leaving many questions about its quality even though they insist on using organic farming methods. Most companies prefer hemp from Colorado or Oregon since they are the best hemp producers. Also, they need to consider offering free shipping on all purchases to cope with market trends.

Overall Verdict

In our review, we considered every significant factor about the company and its products. We highly recommend its products since they are of high quality, their potency variance is below 10%, have no traceable levels of THC, and are void of contaminants. Also, if you wish to get a wide line of products within one company for safety measures, Cannabidiol Life is the place to buy your products. They have various products with different potency levels. However, although their performance in the market is excellent, the company needs to address its weaknesses.

Best CBD bath bombs to try in 2021

If soaking in a warm bath is your favorite way to end the day, CBD bath bombs are something you must try. A CBD bath can help you relax, ease sore muscles, and prepare you for a good night’s sleep. In fact, it can have an important role in keeping your body, soul, and mind at ease. To help you understand the benefits of bath bombs and discover the best bath bombs to try now, we’ve prepared an extensive guide and a product roundup.

What Is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is found in cannabis plants — hemp and marijuana. The hemp-derived CBD doesn’t contain psychoactive components, which means it won’t produce a high feeling. Instead, CBD has multiple health benefits, and it naturally supports the ESC, thus promoting endocannabinoid production. Also, it helps optimize the system’s functions, affecting how much cortisol the body builds, how the body responds to stress, and how rapidly it recovers from it.

What Are CBD Bath Bombs?

CBD bath bombs have become very popular in the past few years. These bombs are dry balls containing sodium bicarbonate, CBD, citric acid, Epsom salt, some essential oils, and pleasant scents depending on the intended use. The sodium bicarbonate causes these balls to dissolve when put in the water. As a result, the essential oils are released, providing a spa-like experience.

How do CBD Bath Bombs Work?

A hot bath opens the pores, allowing the CBD to be absorbed quickly. This makes bath bombs fast-acting products with increased pain-relief and calming effects. They are ideal if you’re looking to treat body aches and inflammation linked to arthritis. Another frequent use of CBD bath bombs is treating skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Beth bombs will take the relaxation to the next, helping lower anxiety and improve the sleep cycle. Of course, the effectiveness of the CBD bath bomb will depend on the CBD concentration and quality of the product.

Top CBD Bath Bombs Benefits and Effects

Below, find the most common benefits associated with the use of CBD bath bombs.

Relaxation

A warm bath enriched with a CBD bath bomb will help you feel relaxed. The tension will fade away, and your sore muscles will be relieved. Cannabinoids interact with the Endocannabinoid system responsible for regulating movement, pain-sensation, mood, inducing stress relief. If intending to use CBD bath bombs for relaxation, consider ingredients like lavender and eucalyptus to make the bath more beneficial.

Skin Detox

The combination of CBD and Epsom salt prompts magnesium absorption through the skin, drawing out harmful body toxins. This will make you feel more lightweight and promote overall health improvement.

Skin Care

The hot water opens the pores and increases the blood flow. The Epsom salt draws out the harmful toxins from the body, while CBD and essential oils penetrate through the skin. This process nourishes the skin, leaving it soft, elastic, and glowy. What is more, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, bath bombs can help you reduce redness and irritation. What is more, CBD regulates sebum production, allowing the body to manage moisture and prevent acne breakout.

Mental Clarity

Beyond relaxation helps you clear your mind and be more focused. This is because CBD affects the Endocannabinoid system, which regulates emotions and mood. CBD boosts serotonin levels in the body and interacts with other neural systems.

Pain Relief

A warm bath infused with CBD and essential oils of lavender, rosemary, or eucalyptus will help you manage pain and relieve muscle ache. It acts on the whole body at once, and the effects typically last longer. It’s especially good if you’re having back and shoulder ache.

Are CBD Bath Bombs Safe?

CBD bath bombs are unlikely to produce any unwanted effects. However, as with any new product, you should test it before use. This is especially important for people with sensitive skin. Before submerging the whole body, dilute a small amount and apply it to a small area of your skin to see if you’ll have any reaction.

The Best CBD Bath Products to Try

During the trial period, we’ve received dozens of products to test. However, only a few of them have met our criteria and made this list.

Manufacturing Process

The company has been certified by the United States Federal government as legal growers of the hemp plant and manufacturers of hemp-based products. The company relies on hemp from Kentucky, where sustainable organic farming practices are upheld. Besides, Able CBD uses its team of researchers to ensure that other significant elements such as MCT oil are used to maximize effectiveness and quality. The research team must ensure all ingredients are effective, beneficial, and safe for use. What’s more, the company’s manufacturing facility and methods have been assessed by FDA and approved as safe.

To obtain only significant elements of the hemp plant, the company uses the CO2 extraction method. This method is preferred since it only extracts useful cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant. Also, compared to other extraction methods, it is eco-friendly. The company has minimized the chemicals used during processing to reduce contamination risks.

Each batch of products is tested for purity and potency levels to ensure they have the correct amount of CBD for safety. Since sleep tablets were among the products we ordered, we used them to affirm their accuracy. Although we noted some variance (9.6 more than the stated amount), it was below the allowed 10% limit. The potency and contaminant results are posted online for pre-purchase verification. Notably, all its products have a THC level below 0.3%, which is the optimum legal level.

Range of Products

The company offers quality tinctures produced using CO2 hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oil for easy absorption. The tinctures are manufactured in different potency ranges including; 500 mg ($39.95), 1000 mg ($69.95) and 2000 mg ($99.95). According to the company, besides administering them orally or sublingually, they can be added to beverages or foods. Each serving comes with accurately marked droppers for customers to administer the correct dosage of 1ml per day.

Able CBD Capsules

CBD capsules have become famous due to their convenience. Administering capsules is done with ease at one go, with water of your favorite beverage. The company recommends they should be administered orally only, one capsule a day. These capsules are manufactured using CO2 organic hemp plant extracts, each having 25 mg of CBD. They are designed to enhance sleep and relieve the body from any pain.

Able CBD Topicals

The company gives similar attention to topical products as the one offered to oral products to ensure they are safe for application and yield the intended effectiveness of muscle relaxation and cooling the body. Various ingredients such as MCT oil, vitamin, and other significant oils are blended in CO2 hemp plant extracts for smooth application and absorption by the skin. Unlike other products, they are for topical use only. Currently, the company only offers Cooling Cream in 500 mg of CBD extracts at $59.95.

Able CBD Tri-Tongue Strips

Unlike other products, the tri-tongue strips are manufactured uniquely to meet the highest standards of discretion. They are manufactured using CO2 hemp plant extracts recommended for only sublingual or oral use. The strips dissolve quickly, yielding raid effectiveness.

What We Like About the Company

Able CBD offers excellent variance accuracy for its CBD products, making them safe for consumers. Also, compared to other companies offering similar quality, their prices are lower than average. Although BBB and USDA have not approved the company, their products are organic and non-GMO. Lastly, navigating its website is easy since it is well-designed and simple to understand.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Although the company offers quality products, a few concerns ought to be addressed to make it better. First, it should consider extending its line of products to cater to all customers’ needs. Also, the company should offer free shipping to attract more customers. Lastly, they should introduce a FAQ page to respond to common concerns and reduce traffic on its support team.

Overall Verdict

We highly recommend Able CBD’s products since they have been manufactured by a team of experts using a vertically integrated system for enhanced quality. In addition, before any batch is released to the market, the company tests the potency and purity levels for safety precaution. Although it is among the recently established brands, its premium products keep gaining fame over some established companies. However, the company must address the few shortcomings stated in this review to ensure it remains valid within the market.

10 best CBD capsules for 2022

CBD or cannabidiol has become a popular health and wellness option over the past several years, with CBD products ranging from CBD gummies, tinctures, creams, and many more. Among these formulations, CBD capsules or pills are the most preferred since they offer many ways to improve our health. They are also easy to consume since they provide almost accurate CBD dosage and the needed privacy.

With all the good news about CBD capsules, however, comes the question of choosing the right one for your hemp needs. Undoubtedly, the hemp market is welcoming new companies every year; hence, new users are likely to be confused when buying CBD capsules for the first time. Also, since CBD capsules have high cannabinoid concentrations found in the hemp plant, using them requires a lot of keenness to avoid substance use disorder. Therefore, if you want to incorporate the popular cannabinoid into your wellness routine, here are the 10 best CBD capsule brands to consider.

What Are CBD Capsules?

CBD capsules, pills, or soft gels are cylindrical or round-shaped supplements containing CBD and other cannabinoids taken orally. They contain a pre-determined CBD dose and well-explained instructions. They are typically packaged as soft gels made with gelatin, unlike other ordinary vitamins and supplements found in the kitchen.

CBD capsules also contain essential oils and ingredients that boost the body’s immune system. Each pill contains an exact amount of cannabidiol hence, taking each pill allows one to manage the CBD dosage with precision. Just like CBD oils, CBD capsules include beneficial ingredients like melatonin, vitamin complexes, terpenes, olive oil, coconut oil, and hemp seed oil. They also have a carrier oil that enhances CBD bioavailability and particularly the absorption of the CBD capsules.

Types of CBD Capsules

Most companies make CBD capsules in three main categories, namely;

  • Full-spectrum CBD capsules.
  • Broad-spectrum CBD capsules.
  • CBD isolate capsules.

CBD isolate capsules contain only CBD or hemp oil, unlike full- or broad-spectrum CBD capsules. These capsules are ideal for people who only want to reap the benefits of CBD without worrying about the effects caused by other cannabinoids and hemp extracts. However, they are most time and resource-consuming to manufacture since they want advanced technologies to filter out other compounds.

Full-spectrum CBD capsules contain all hemp extracts, including cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, and essential oils. They contain hemp oil rich in nutrients and have more potential health benefits, making many people prefer them over other formulations. On the other hand, broad-spectrum CBD capsules contain all hemp extract except THC. They have almost the same therapeutic capabilities but lack the euphoric high effect caused by THC.

Are CBD Capsules Better Unlike CBD Oils?

CBD oils and CBD capsules are two distinct forms with different consumption methods. Though both forms contain CBD which interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which regulates sleep, anxiety, mood, memory, and appetite.

CBD capsules and CBD oils are and have different absorption methods in the delivery system. Many people enjoy capsules for they are convenient and easy to take. If you are traveling, it’s easier to tuck a few capsules into the pocket for later use unlike using a CBD dropper. They also maximize the absorption of CBD. You can take the capsules with a high-fat meal to increase their bioavailability. However, do not need to take the capsules on an empty stomach.

CBD capsules have a slow flow of effects when taken, unlike CBD tinctures. This makes the user easily adapt to the body changes. Also, CBD capsules are tasteless: thus, they offer a high CBD concentration.

Tips for Choosing CBD Capsules

You should select CBD capsules with caution; hence, remember the following factor if you decide CBD capsules are right for you:

Choose the Right CBD Type

Buy full-spectrum CBD capsules if want effective hemp-derived products since they contain over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plants. However, if you want to avoid the “high” effect caused by the THC content, you can opt for CBD isolate or broad-spectrum CBD capsules.

Look At the Ingredients Used

Full-spectrum CBD capsules contain terpenes, flavonoids, and other essential ingredients. Terpenes give the plant its color and scent, and when combined with cannabinoids, they create an entourage effect that enhances CBD benefits, unlike isolated cannabinoids. Moreover, when buying CBD pills, check all other ingredients used to ensure they are healthy. Avoid buying products made with artificial ingredients.

Verify The Quality of CBD Capsules with Lab Results

Always choose high-quality CBD capsule products and value companies with transparency. Every CBD capsule product comes with third-party lab results. Lab results verify the amount of CBD in the capsules. It is advisable to verify these results to be sure what’s on the label and in the product match. Cannabinoid and terpene profiles guarantees that the CBD product is pure, suggesting that CBD capsules are free from mycotoxins, microbes, and solvents.

Benefits of CBD Capsules?

CBD pills contain cannabinoids that can alleviate a wide range of ailments and disorders. Below are just a few of the many uses of CBD capsules.

CBD Reduces Pain and Inflammation

There are receptors known as vanilloids in the human brain. These vanilloid receptors regulate pain and inflammation in the human body. When you take CBD capsules, the CBD triggers the vanilloid receptors, which reduces pain and inflammation. This makes CBD capsules effective against disorders like fibromyalgia.

CBD Compounds Boost Body and Mind Functioning

CBD compounds contain powerful antioxidants that protect the human body and the brain. Harmful molecules or free radicals harm the human body and brain. They contribute to degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, the antioxidant properties of CBD capsules work on these degenerative effects. CBD compounds also counteract the human brain thus, debilitating brain disorders.

CBD Stimulates Appetite and Can Suppress Nausea

CBD compounds act as digestive aids since they stimulate appetite in a person. They make it easier for people to continue taking calories to stay healthy. Secondly, they suppress nausea making calories stay where they need to be in the human body. Further, cancer patients with decreased appetite and increased nausea are recommended to take CBD capsules. That is because CBD in the pills works on these effects leading to increased appetite and decreased nausea. As a result, it makes the cancer patients heal faster.

CBD Combats Depression and Anxiety

Activities of adenosine and serotonin receptors in the brain invoke anxiety and depression. CBD in CBD capsules activates these adenosine receptors, making them work properly. CBD also lessens the paranoia and anxious feelings common with anxiety disorder. Contrary, an antidepressant effect occurs when CBD acts upon serotonin receptors, making CBD pills a better supplement for mental disorders.

CBD Inhibits Growth of Cancer Cells

CBD prevents cancer cells from spreading. A 2019 study shows that CBD encourages cancer cell death and makes glioblastoma cells more sensitive to radiation. The anticancer effect of CBD compounds seems to be selective for cancer cells since it does not affect the normal cell lines. The best CBD pills for cancer patients, therefore, would be the hemp-based full-spectrum capsules.

CBD Treats Psychotic Disorders

Psychotic disorders are difficult to treat, though an increase in serum anandamide levels in the brain works best in treating brain ailments. Alternatively, you can treat disorders like schizophrenia by increasing the anandamide levels. CBD increases the serum anandamide levels; thus, creating significant effects on these disorders. CBD also alters brain changes while weakening the brain disorder effects.

CBD Can Disseminate Seizure Activities

Seizures are brain disruptions that lead to loss of body control. Electrical activities caused by seizures make the body violently shake; thus, losing stamina. Brain disorders and seizures are extremely difficult to treat. However, CBD pills stabilize brain electrical impulses making them not run. For instance, if a person experiences seizure attacks more than 10 times in a month, CBD is said to lower that frequency to 2 times in a month.

How long do delta- 8 edibles last?

How long delta- 8 edibles last in the system depends on many factors, including the potency of the edible and its concentration, the user’s metabolism and body composition, and his frequency of taking delta- 8 products. Generally, edibles can last active for 1- 3 hours, varying from one person to another.

One of the many questions people ask as they incorporate delta- 8 edibles into their regime is how long the products can remain active in the system. This is important since it determines when to take the delta- 8 edibles, especially if one needs them to address particular conditions. It is worth noting that cannabis research is limited and what is known about delta- 8 products is less than what is unknown. How long delta- 8 edibles last in the body depends on many factors, some touching on the edible product and others limited to the user’s intake. Here is everything you want to know about delta- 8 THC edibles.

What Are Delta- 8 Edibles

Before looking at how long delta- 8 edibles remain effective, it is essential to understand what delta 8 THC is. According to Akpunonu et al. (2021), delta- 8 THC is the psychoactive and intoxicating compound in cannabis plants, specifically hemp and marijuana. THC is the psychoactive compound in hemp and other cannabis plants, and according to Schlienz et al. (2018), it is known for the ‘high’ effect. It comes in two variants; delta- 9, known for the steady ‘high’ effect, and delta- 8, which is mild in action but still intoxicating and psychoactive.

Delta- 8 edibles are one of the deliverable methods for delta- 8. This psychoactive but mild compound is not readily absorbed into the body as it is. It is no wonder that delta- 8 brands infuse the cannabinoids into a form or a product that is readily absorbed into the body. Delta- 8 edibles are ingestible items that deliver delta- 8 to the body through the mouth. They include anything from delta- 8 THC chocolates, gummies, crisps, and honey sticks.

Other Delta- 8 Deliverable Methods

It is worth noting that there are many other ways of delivering delta- 8 to the body other than through the delta- 8 edibles. To understand this, you need to grasp how the cannabinoid comes from or how the items are featured. You can have delta- 8 delivered to the body through;

Sublingual Administration

Delta- 8 can be sublingually administered to the body through delta- 8 tinctures and oils. They allow for increased bioavailability and faster absorption but may feature the earthy taste of the cannabinoids in delta- 8.

Topical Application

If you don’t want delta- 8 to interact with the bloodstream but still want the body to benefit from it, you may opt for delta- 8 topical products, including creams, serums, lotions, and massage oils. While they may be good for the external parts, their bioavailability is significantly reduced.

Ingestion

Delta- 8 edibles like chocolates, gummies, and treats are ingestible products taken through the mouth. Most are flavored to mask the earthiness in delta- 8 products.

Inhalation

You may want to take delta- 8 THC through inhalation as this ensures the cannabinoid is delivered to the body fast. This allows for faster absorption and increased effectiveness. Delta- 8 vapes, as in vape cartridges, pens, and tanks, and delta- 8 cannabis flowers are administered through inhalation for faster results.

How Long Do Delta- 8 Edibles Last?

You should know how long the products last in the system if you are new to or anticipate starting a delta- 8 edible regime. This is critical since it helps you know when to take the edibles and plan yourself to carry them on the go. You can expect the edibles to remain effective for 1- 3 hours, but Kruger & Kruger (2022) acknowledged a great knowledge gap in the delta- 8 field, and much remains unknown about the cannabinoid. This means that there is no exact time delta- 8 edibles remain effective for all users. Still, many other factors come to play in determining how long the ‘high’ effect lasts, as explained below.

The Potency of the Delta- 8 Edibles Matter

In the cannabis industry, potency denotes the concentration of a cannabinoid per unit volume, that is, per ml. It is calculated by finding the quotient of the entire cannabinoid concentration by the total volume. For instance, a 1000 mg delta- 8 tincture in a 40 ml bottle is 25 mg/ml potent. The potency of delta- 8 determines how long it lasts in the system. More potent products remain active in the body for longer, and the reverse is also true.

How Much Delta- 8 You Take Matters

Other than potency, the total dosage of delta- 8 also influences how long the effects last. For instance, if you take 50 mg delta- 8, the effect might last longer than 20 or 10 mg of the edibles, especially when the potency remains the same. Therefore, if you enjoy delta- 8 edibles but do not want the effects to last longer, cut down how many edibles you take.

Body Factors and Tolerance Come to Play

Body factors and tolerance also affect how long CBD stays active in the system. People with high metabolic rates have the delta- 8 in the edibles get to the system fast, and the effects may not last long. Contrastingly, low metabolic rates mean you need time for the body to metabolize the cannabinoid, and the effects may last longer when they finally surface. How tolerant your system is to delta- 8 products also determine how much of the cannabinoid you can take, further impacting the effects.

Conclusion

Delta- 8 edibles are many people’s favorite picks in the delta- 8 industry since they are great for masking the earthiness in cannabis extracts. How long the edibles stay effective in the system helps one anticipate when next to take them. However, there is no exact time they remain effective for every delta- 8 THC user. It depends on many factors, including the potency and the dosage of the edibles and a person’s body factors.

Microdosing with delta 8 gummies

Delta 8 gummies are one of the popular dosing methods of delta 8 THC. Herein is how to microdose with delta 8 gummies, including factors affecting microdosing, how to do it, and the benefits.

Normally, gummies come with a pre-measured dose, reducing the standard dosing challenges. Does this mean microdosing with delta 8 gummies is also easy? How can you microdose with this new technique of enjoying cannabis? This article addresses these concerns.

Delta 8 gummies are traditional-style edibles. These edibles are mostly chewed and then swallowed. While in the system, they undergo digestion like normal food. Digestion results in the creation of a powerful form of delta 8 THC-11-hydroxy-THC. According to Klumpers et al (2019), unlike in smoking or vaping, most delta 8 THC ingested is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC, explaining why you are more likely to feel an intense psychoactive high. Digestion also slows the onset and duration of the psychoactive high. Those who have used delta 8 gummies can testify that this delta 8 dosing method provides effects after 45 minutes to 2 hours of consumption. Due to the slow release of the most powerful form of delta 8 THC into the gut, these effects can last for 4 to 6 hours.

What About Sublingual Style Edibles?

Sublingual-style edibles are not as popular as traditional-style edibles. However, they give users a stellar cannabis experience. Sublingual-style edibles mostly include candies, tablets, and chews. They are placed in the mouth, where they dissolve and are absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane. Although most sublinguals are absorbed in the mouth, there is also a probability of swallowing them. This explains why there is unending debate on whether the effects of sublingual edibles are short-lived or long-lasting. Miller et al (2017) suggested that, if all delta 8 is absorbed in the mouth, the psychoactive effects show up almost immediately, and they can last for 2 to 4 hours. However, if a portion of delta 8 makes it to the digestive system, the effects may delay and last for about 6 hours.

Understanding Microdosing

Microdosing refers to taking a more precise dosage of a substance. The term was popularized in the world of psychedelics but slowly found its way to the cannabis industry. People have been hopping into the cannabis microdosing train for a good reason. According to MacCallum & Russo (2018), microdosing delta 8 denies people the psychoactive high effect. People mostly take this approach because it allows them to enjoy other mental and physical effects without getting high. Anything beyond the threshold dose comes with a psychoactive high, affecting your functionality. This is bad news for people who always have a lot on their plates.

How to Microdose with Delta 8 Gummies

Since you know it is possible to microdose delta 8, it is time to understand how to microdose with delta 8 gummies, one of the most popular delta 8 THC dosing methods. Delta 8 gummies come with pre-measured doses, reducing the struggle of finding the dosage that satisfies your needs accordingly. The labels mostly indicate the amount of Delta 8 THC in each gummy. Break or cut the gummy into pieces if you want a more precise dose.

What Factors Affect Microdosing with Delta 8 Gummies?

Kwiatkowski & Tylor (2021) suggested that microdosing with gummies depends on your tolerance to THC, body weight, personal needs, and sex. Most new users and those with low tolerance levels should start with 5 mg of delta 8 THC or lower. This microdose quantity delivers a gentle start. If this amount does not deliver the desired results, you can gradually increase your dose.

No Psychoactive High, What Now?

You can get tons of benefits from microdosing with delta 8 gummies other than getting high. From having the ability to drive and operate machinery to achieving bodily relief, the benefits are endless. Taking the microdose approach can help you stay focused while commemorating the famous marijuana holiday, 4/20.

How Does Microdosing with Delta 8 Gummies Compare with Other Dosing Styles?

If you buy a pack of gummies, each having 25 mg of delta 8 THC, you can cut each gummy into five pieces. This means you will enjoy 5 mg of delta 8 THC in each piece. This is different from vaping or smoking delta 8 THC. Most delta 8 THC vapes do not come with a pre-measured dose. You may need to be keen on how you puff. Delta 8 consultants advise going with small puffs if you want to microdose with delta-8 vapes. Small puffs can help you gauge the effects and work things out until you get the desired results.

How Can You Make Microdosing with Delta 8 Gummies Easier?

Microdosing starts with how you store your delta 8 gummies. Since one gummy is more likely to last the entire day, you will need to keep the rest of the pack safe. Storing your delta 8 gummies in a refrigerator prevents them from melting. Gummies in good shape make dosing precise. What’s more, cutting them into pieces when looking for a more precise dose becomes easier.

The Bottom Line

Delta 8 gummies are one of the easiest ways to microdose. These traditional edibles come with a pre-measured dose, ensuring you do not struggle to measure the dose after receiving your package. Cut or break a gummy into five pieces if you want to take things further. A gummy with 25 mg of Delta 8 THC will give you pieces with 5mg of delta 8 THC. This is a microdose quantity, but it may work for some people and fail for others. The reason behind this is the difference in people’s body chemistry. Some will experience their desired effects with this amount, while others may need more to get substantial effects. Although microdosing with delta 8 THC gummies is important to your general well-being, you may want to avoid it if you have drug tests soon, whether at work or in sports. In addition, the microdosing approach may not be a wonderful idea if you operate heavy machinery daily.

Microdosing with delta 8 edibles

Microdosing cannabis is one of the most searched topics on Google. While the internet is exploding, books and articles on the subject pop up left, right, and center. This has left the masses too interested in taking the microdose approach. Since it is clear microdosing is no longer a thing for the psychedelics alone, you will learn how to do it on delta 8 edibles below.

Delta 8 is gaining traction in the cannabis community. As one of the popular analogs of THC, delta 8 has been used for centuries for holistic and recreational purposes. According to Helander et al (2022), Delta 8 harbors psychoactive properties that enhance the “high” feeling. Above delta 8 in psychoactive properties is Delta 9. This analog of THC has higher potency compared to its siblings, meaning it can go to the extreme. Delta 8 comes in various forms, including capsules, flowers, gummies, vapes, and tinctures. Since all these forms induce the psychoactive buzz, what works best will depend on your needs and preferences.

What is the Difference Between Delta 8 and CBD?

Delta 8 and CBD (cannabidiol) have a fair market share in the hemp industry. For this reason, you may not miss CBD, where delta 8 is mentioned. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, mostly used for holistic purposes. Being non-psychoactive means CBD does not make you high. Like delta 8, CBD comes in various forms, including oils and tinctures, gummies, capsules, and topicals.

Understanding a Microdose

According to Polito & Stevenson (2019), a microdose is a smaller amount of a psychoactive substance. The act of taking a microdose is called microdosing. More people are taking the microdose approach because it delivers desirable effects without getting them high. Normally, smaller dosing of delta 8 works best for people who want to stay productive throughout the day.

How To Microdose with Delta 8 edibles

Microdosing with delta 8 edibles is easy because most come with a pre-measured dose. Normally, each piece of an edible harbors 25 mg of Delta 8. To microdose, cut the piece into 4 or 5 pieces, ensuring the delta 8 is evenly distributed in your pieces. It is important to note the effects of edibles take longer to kick in. For this reason, do not go beyond the threshold dose if the desired effects fail to show in time. A threshold dose is a point where psychoactive effects kick in.

Other Products for Microdosing Delta 8

Everyone has preferences in microdosing delta 8. While some might see edibles as the best microdosing technique, others will want to try other options. Therefore, it is important to know various products for microdosing delta 8. Having more than one way of microdosing the cannabinoid at your disposal helps you satisfy your cannabis longing accordingly.

Delta 8 Tinctures

Delta 8 tinctures can be taken sublingually or mixed with foods or drinks. Grant et al. (2012) noted that the former delivers the effects of delta 8 faster than the latter, which requires the cannabinoid to pass through the digestive system before being absorbed into the bloodstream. Microdosing with delta 8 tinctures is easy because most manufacturers indicate the amount of delta 8 per ml of the tincture. If not indicated, you can get the microdose quantity by dividing the delta 8 amount by the volume of the tincture. For instance, if the 30ml bottle harbors 1200 mg of delta 8, the tincture potency is 40mg/ml. Since this amount is not ideal for a microdose, find the delta 8 amount each drop of the tincture can carry. Odds are you will use a 1ml dropper that releases 30 drops to serve yourself.

For this reason, you will divide the tincture’s potency (40mg/ml) by 30 to get the delta 8 amount per one drop of the tincture. Diving the tincture’s potency by 30 (amount of drops your dropper releases) will give you 1.3 mg delta 8 per drop of the tincture. This shows one or two drops of the tincture can work best for beginners and those with low tolerance to the cannabinoid. Experiences folks and those with a higher tolerance to delta 8 can try microdosing with three or four drops of the tincture.

Delta 8 Vapes

Microdosing with delta 8 vapes is the most imprecise method on the list. Most manufacturers do not indicate the pre-measured dose per puff, leaving the dosing part to the final consumer. Since vapes give you control over the dosage, microdosing will depend on the volume of the delta 8-infused juice you inhale and how you vape. As a rule of thumb, novices and those with low tolerance levels to delta 8 should work with small puffs. Experience folks and those with a higher tolerance should go with a regular draw.

Delta 8 Flower

Delta 8 flower provides instantaneous effects. To enjoy a microdose quantity of this product, you will need dry-herb vaporizing equipment or a one-hitter.

Microdosing and Drug Tests

Microdosing, whether with vapes, tinctures or edibles, can make you fail drug tests. Normally, drug tests detect even smaller traces of substances in your body, which can cause you problems at work or in sports. For this reason, it is best to avoid delta 8 if your drug tests are coming soon.

Should You Microdose Delta 8?

Microdosing delta 8 mostly depends on what you want to achieve. According to Boggs & Douglas (2018), a standard dose of delta 8 THC is more likely to get you high, disrupting how you function. This means you will be lazy almost the entire day. If you have a lot to achieve during the day, microdosing can be the best path to take.

The Bottom Line

Microdosing delta 8 is a great way to enjoy the benefits of the cannabinoid without experiencing the psychoactive high. The microdose approach attracts masses because it allows you to be productive throughout the day. Luckily, there are various products to microdose with. The choice is endless, from delta tinctures to vapes and edibles to flowers. This blog discusses how to microdose with all these forms of delta 8, allowing you to choose what works best for you. Enjoy your microdosing routine!

Is delta-8 a CBD?

If you are new to the cannabis world, you might be wondering what delta 8 THC is. You might also wonder how this compound compares to CBD. This article highlights the differences between CBD and Delta 8 THC. Herein, you will also learn about these compounds’ benefits and side effects.

The cannabis industry is fast-growing, and more consumers are turning to cannabis products for recreational and therapeutic purposes. Cannabis plants, including hemp and marijuana, contain various chemical compounds called cannabinoids. THC is one of the major cannabinoids known for its intoxicating effects. This means that THC products can get their consumers’ high.’ CBD is also another major cannabinoid. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating. Learn more about these cannabinoids below.

What Is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a THC variant similar to the main form of THC known as Delta 9 THC. Although these two isomers are similar, they differ slightly because of their chemical structure, making delta 8 less powerful than delta9.

Benefits of Delta 8

Smoother Psychoactive Boost

Most people who use cannabis for fun rarely consume CBD since it cannot give them a ‘high effect. Also, some people do not like consuming delta 9 THC since its effects may come with anxiety feelings when taken in high amounts.

If you do not like an intense high that leads to anxiety or paranoia, you should try using delta 8 THC instead of delta 9 THC. The strength of delta 8 THC has been proven to be around fifty percent of that of delta 9. Most consumers claim that the former enables them to stay relaxed and focused.

Appetite Boost

Unlike delta 9, which results in intense cognitive effects, Livne et al. (2022) noted that delta 8 could boost appetite. This is because this compound interacts with the endocannabinoid system, ECS, to regulate various functions, including sleep, mood, appetite, and pain,

Neuroprotection

Scientists have started exploring the benefits that delta 8 THC has on its users’ brains. Maroon & Bost (2018) stated that delta 8 THC contains neuroprotective properties, meaning that it can control the potassium and calcium levels in the CNS. This may lead to a healthier brain. Singhal et al. (2012) noted that delta 8 also increases choline and acetylcholine levels. This may lead to treating Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. What’s more, Delta 8 improves cognitive functioning since it makes new neurons.

Better Sleep

As noted, Delta 8 gives its users a less intense high than delta 9. Although their effects are similar, delta 8 is less powerful. Dietrich & McDaniel (2004) noted that some of these effects include relief of stress, sedation, and a feeling of euphoria. If you have insomnia, these effects may be helpful to you.

Digestive Support

May & Glode (2016) advised that if you frequently experience nausea, delta 8 can aid you. Since it contains antiemetic properties, it can help you whenever you feel like vomiting. It is preferred to delta 9 since it does not cause anxiety feelings.

Pain Relief

Azcarate et al. (2020) showed that when cannabinoids like delta 8 are applied topically, they can relieve their user form of chronic pain. If you suffer from inflammation, delta 8 is an anti-inflammatory agent that can reduce inflammation levels. This is made possible since it controls the neurons responsible for transmitting pain in the body.

What is CBD?

CBD, also referred to as cannabidiol, is also one of the cannabinoids in the hemp plant. Woelfl et al. (2020) suggested that the difference between THC and CBD is that the former gives its users a high effect while the latter provides its users with a calming effect.

CBD is available in three forms, full-spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD, and pure CBD. Full-spectrum CBD contains all compounds present in the hemp plant. CBD isolate only has the CBD compound, while broad-spectrum CBD contains all the compounds except THC.

Benefits of CBD

Like delta 8, THC CBD also has health benefits. Some of its benefits include:

Pain Relief

Burstein (2015) concluded that CBD has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help relieve pain, just like delta 8 THC.

Relieving Anxiety and Depression

Due to its calming properties, CBD can relieve anxiety. This is why many pharmaceutical products are infused with CBD oil.

Treat Opioid Addiction

Hurd et al. (2015) confirmed that using CBD could help treat people who depend on opioids. The study showed that CBD reduced the cravings felt by heroin users. It also helped in calming their anxieties. CBD has also reduced symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety in patients addicted to substance abuse.

Is Delta 8 a CBD

Although both are cannabinoids that have similar health benefits, Delta 8 differs from CBD. Unlike delta 8, which gives its users a psychoactive effect, CBD provides its users with a calming effect and does not get its users high.

Conclusion

Before purchasing cannabis plant products, you should always consult your doctor since they may give you a negative reaction. You should also be careful about where you purchase your product since some brands deal in low-quality products that may have a negative effect on the user. Go through the COA report and assess the lab test results. Ensure that the potency and THC levels are within the specified limit. Also, ensure the product is free from contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides. In addition, buy from reputable brands only. You can identify such brands by checking for customer reviews. Most reliable brands also offer a money-back guarantee to consumers who find their products ineffective. This will ensure you purchase safe cannabis products and avoid adverse side effects. From the article, you have now realized the difference between delta 8 THC and CBD and found that they are not similar. It may be a bit confusing since they almost provide the same benefits. However, this does not make them similar.

How does a fake cart feel?

Buying fake products has become common, especially in the online market. Although you can gamble with your money by going for accommodating prices, you shouldn’t do the same with your health. Herein is how to determine a fake cart, including checking the licensing, the ingredients used, the COA’s report, and the packaging.

A fake Delta-8 cart can be harmful to your health. Most are manufactured using shortcuts to minimize expenditure, exposing users to greater risks. The main aim of hemp-based products is to provide organic hemp products that will improve your health rather than harm it. This article highlights tips to help you differentiate between fake and original carts.

What is Delta-8 Cart

Various researchers have tagged the hemp plant as useful for improving your general health and wellness. Bischoff et al. (2014) noted that has various elements believed to regulate hormone production and prevent bacterial infections. These elements include terpenes, flavonoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabidiol (CBD). According to Kumarasamyraja et al. (2012), terpenes and flavonoids are also found in other plants. They have been used in numerous therapeutic trials because of their anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal infection.

THC is the main element found in the Delta-8 cart. Unlike CBD, it has been noted to have psychoactive side effects making it unfriendly, as suggested by Fattore, Liana & Walter (2011). According to the research, this compound can cause dizziness, poor memory, dry lips, or red eyes, which are the signs of getting “high.” Various researchers differ in opinion regarding the effectiveness of THC. According to Gallily, Yekhtin & Lumir (2018), tetrahydrocannabinol has anti-inflammatory properties that make it suitable for improving pain, stress, and lack of sleep when taken considerably. Notably, the health benefits are yet to be approved.

How Do You Determine a Fake Cart?

Without understanding tips on differentiating between a good and a fake cart, you will always be exposing yourself to risks. Here are some of the best ways to identify a fake cart:

Check the Licensing

Where you buy your cart determines whether it is fake or good. A cartridge bought at a non-licensed dispensary puts you at a greater risk because it is likely to be fake. Although the prices might be quite enticing, the additives can have dire effects, especially when heated or combined with other ingredients.

In contrast, licensed stores are likely to provide quality cartridges. Such stores sell cartridges assessed for quality using independent labs, ensuring the product is free from chemical solvents and heavy metals. Notably, whether you are buying it online or from the nearest store, the law demands that the THC cartridge have a license number on its packaging. The number assures users that the cartridges are safe, legal, and tested. Therefore, if any of your products don’t have a licensing number, avoid consuming them.

Also, avoid brands that don’t publicize their lab results online. Such brands might not be fully transparent about the safety of their products, and some still don’t offer upon requesting their COA’s report. It is fake if the lab result information does not accompany the cart.

Packaging

It is important to scan for some important information on the packaging of your CBD vape cartridge. A legit or legal THC cartridge should have the following on its packaging;

  • Batch number
  • Date of Packaging
  • Manufacturing Date
  • Lot Number

The packaging icon is significant and cannot be ignored. These icons are essential and must be printed unless the cart is fake. The best THC cartridge manufacturers provide QR codes on their packaging for further quality affirmation by customers. The QR codes are important for proving legality, safety, and legitimacy, especially with the current technology promoting counterfeit products. QR codes also help in verifying the information on the packaging. Confirm the serial number on the packing is similar to the one online; if they are not the same, it is a fake.

Ingredients

The ingredients play a significant role in determining the safety of your cart. A fake cart is likely to have ingredients not assessed for consumer safety. A vitamin E thickener is a suitable example of an ingredient used in fake products because it provides consistent results. This element is cheap and provides convenience for manufacturers to make a profit. Consider THC cartridges with organic ingredients since they are safe for consumption and pose fewer threats than artificial ones.

The COA’s Report

The best Delta-8 manufacturers assess the quality of their vape juice at every processing stage. If you have doubts about the quality of the cart you bought, assess the COA reports. The testing should be conducted at a licensed or approved facility. This helps you determine the purity levels of your cart and confirm it is void of heavy metals and chemical solvents that will put you at a greater risk. As noted earlier, don’t use any cartridge without COA’s report. Also, confirm the actual potency levels to avoid overdosing unknowingly. If the posted and actual potency levels differ with a margin exceeding 5%, then the cart is not safe.

Conclusion

The market for cartridges keeps expounding as more hemp-based manufacturers come into play. This causes a fall in prices due to the high competition. The question is, will you still get quality? Low prices are attractive, but they put you in danger of landing on fake products. The standard procedure for processing Delta-8 carts is expensive. The more money is invested in the manufacturing process, the higher the prices. However, the price might vary depending on factors such as potency levels.
