Delta-8 THC products? Maybe you need a premium Delta-8 oil tincture but aren’t sure where to look. Well, you're in luck: Hometown Hero currently has three Delta-8 tincture products available online for purchase!
Using tinctures via sublingual absorption is one of the easiest and quickest ways to feel the effects of a cannabinoid, but Delta-8, in particular, stands out for its relaxing, mildly euphoric effects. Read on to learn all about using tinctures, the effects of Delta-8 THC, and why our premium Delta-8 THC oil tinctures are the best!
What is Delta-8?
Delta-8 THC is a
minor cannabinoid- a naturally occurring compound found in
small amounts in cannabis plants (hemp and marijuana).
Of course, our Delta-8 THC tinctures and other Delta-8 THC products use Delta-8 THC derived from hemp and are therefore federally legal according to the 2018 Farm Bill. Effects of Delta-8
Delta-8 offers mild psychoactive effects, as it exhibits lower potency than Delta-9. This means Delta-8 does produce a high, but it is less intense than the one that Delta-9 THC (the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis) produces.
How Does A Delta-8 Tincture Work?
Delta-8 tinctures have a faster onset of effects than the average edible. This is because the lipid-rich oil base boosts your body's bioavailability, or absorption of cannabinoids. Plus, with sublingual application, the tissue under the tongue absorbs the Delta-8, leading into the bloodstream quicker than it would with edibles, which have to pass through the digestive system.
But generally speaking, Delta-8 tinctures "work" like any other cannabinoid product: by interacting with the body's CB receptors.
You see, t
he human body has a vast network of chemical messengers and receptors called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The purpose of this system is to maintain stable internal conditions by regulating various bodily functions, including appetite, pain perception, memory, and reward processes. To do this, the ECS sends signals using internal compounds called “endocannabinoids."
Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, and CBD are all "phytocannabinoids," where "phyto" means they come from the cannabis plant. These phytocannabinoids are similar enough to the endocannabinoids your body naturally produces that they're able to interact with the ECS. So when you smoke flower, eat an edible, or use a tincture, the interactions between the phytocannabinoids and your ECS bring about pleasurable effects like relief and euphoria, among others.
THC in particular is chemically similar to an endocannabinoid called “anandamide.” Thus it interacts especially with the CB1 receptors in your central nervous system to produce psychoactive effects. However, Delta-8 THC has a lower binding affinity for this receptor than Delta-9 THC, so the psychoactive effects are there, just less intense.
How to Use Delta-8 THC Tincture Oil?
Delta-8 tincture oil can be taken sublingually (by placing droplets underneath the tongue) or mixed into a food item or a beverage.
There are plenty of creative recipes for edibles or drinks incorporating flavored or unflavored Delta-8 tinctures. For example, a minty THC-infused milkshake or
creamy Delta-8 ice cream.
Since Delta-8 oil is already in an easy-to-use liquid format (versus, say, Delta-8 flower), you don't have to decarb the cannabis bud beforehand or do any prep work. This makes Delta-8 tinctures some of the easiest cannabis products you can use for recipes and homemade edibles. Why Use Delta-8 Tinctures?
People use D8 tinctures (sometimes called Delta-8 hemp oil or Delta-8 THC oil) for a variety of reasons. As mentioned, Delta-8 THC tinctures offer a faster onset of effects than edibles, and the fact they're oil-based means you can enjoy a better THC absorption rate. So when you want to experience the pleasant effects of Delta-8 fast, a tincture may be the perfect product for you.
But generally, people enjoy Delta-8 tinctures for anything from relaxation and relief to casual enjoyment and leisure.
How Long Does it Take For the Effects of Delta-8 Tinctures to "Kick In?"
The onset of the effects of Delta-8 THC will vary from person to person, and depend on the method of consumption. The effects of Delta-8 tinctures will be faster than Delta-8 edibles when taken sublingually. But if you add a few drops of Delta-8 tincture to a food item, it becomes an edible, and thus the onset of effects (how long it takes to kick in) will be in the same range.
One thing to consider is that Delta-8 tinctures are more than just oil with THC. The different ingredients (for example, MCT oil from organic coconuts) will also play a role.
How to Store Delta-8 Tinctures
Most manufacturers use amber-toned glass for their Delta-8 tinctures. This type of glass protects the product from light and deterioration. But you will still want to store your Delta-8 tinctures in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Are Delta-8 Tinctures Safe?
Delta-8 tinctures are generally considered safe, but any products containing THC are only meant for responsible use by adults 21 and older.
Delta-8 THC Tincture Side Effects
You might feel "overwhelmed" if you consume too much of a Delta-8 tincture at once, but there is a low threat of physical danger. Please consult your doctor if you are considering any hemp-derived product and always follow the recommended use instructions.
Do not drive or operate machinery after you have consumed oil from a Delta-8 tincture. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant should best avoid Delta-8 tinctures or any product with cannabinoids.
There is no such thing as "childproof packaging" for any product, including Delta-8. Child-resistant packaging exists, but again, nothing is "childproof." We cannot overstate that Delta-8, or any products containing cannabinoids, need to be left out of the reach of children.
How Many Drops of a Delta-8 Tincture Should I Use?
With cannabis products, you should determine serving size, AKA "dosage," based on your own experience level or tolerance. Our tinctures come with a 1-milliliter dropper, with the cannabinoid content ranging from 20 milligrams of Delta-8 per drop in our 600mg Tincture or 40 milligrams of Delta-8 per drop in our 1200mg Tincture. If you rarely consume Delta-8 or any other cannabis product, we recommend starting small and adjusting as you see fit.
Remember, a little goes a long way, so be patient and wait for the results to kick in before reaching for more.
How Does a Delta-8 Tincture Make You Feel?
Whether it be tinctures or any other hemp product, each customer has their own unique experience, and how you feel may be different. If you have enjoyed hemp-derived edibles in the past, your session with tinctures may be similar (depending on how you use it), but there are no guarantees.
How Long Will Delta-8 Stay in Your System?
As much as we would love to give you a straight answer, there isn't one. There is no accurate way to determine how long Delta-8 will stay in your system with many factors to consider, such as lifestyle, physiology, and frequency of use. However, if you are concerned about an upcoming drug test, do not use any products containing cannabinoids.
Can You Take Too Much of a Delta-8 Tincture?
Delta-8 tinctures or “Delta-8 oils” are generally safe. If you think that you took too much, you may feel "overwhelmed" or have intense sensations, but there is little risk of physical danger beyond that. The best course of action for those who have consumed more than they can handle is to relax with a movie or take a nap until the effects have worn off.
What Are the Benefits of Delta-8 Tinctures?
The main benefit of Delta-8 tinctures is versatility: it's like getting two products in one! You can enjoy a tincture sublingually, or you can turn just about any food item into an edible with just a few drops.
On top of that, you have Farm Bill compliance. Delta-8 comes from hemp, which is federally legal. Because of hemp’s legal status, you can buy a Delta-8 tincture online with a credit card, ship it across state lines, and even
take it on a plane (as long as it's legal in your state).
Are Delta-8 Tinctures Stronger Than Edibles?
Delta 8 tinctures and edibles can incite an array of effects, but the consumption method does not determine the product's strength—the cannabinoid content does.
When considering cannabis products, the amount of Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC in milligrams will indicate the product's strength. To ensure that you don't overindulge, look at the THC content and adjust the amount you take accordingly.
What is the Strongest Delta-8 Tincture?
In terms of the "strongest Delta-8 tincture,” the answer depends on the cannabinoid content you are looking for. Broad-spectrum CBD will feature a variety of hemp-derived cannabinoids, except THC. But if you would like to experience a tincture with more noticeable effects, our Delta-8 THC tinctures will meet those expectations.
How to Choose the Best Delta-8 Tincture
Choosing the best Delta-8 tincture, including if you’re looking for Delta-8 THC tinctures for sale online, comes down to several factors. The first thing to consider before you buy “Delta-8 oil” is customer reviews. Reviews can provide you with insights into the overall quality of a product and the trustworthiness of a manufacturer.
The second is the cannabinoid content. At Hometown Hero, our tinctures come in 600mg or 1200mg varieties. If you are new to Delta-8, it is always better to start with the lower milligram tincture and then figure out your preferences from there. The next factor you're going to want to consider is flavor. Our tinctures come in natural, berry, and mint flavors.
There’s a lot to consider when picking out the best Delta-8 tincture beyond the cost of a THC tincture.
