Delta-8 THC has been making waves in interstellar (cannabis-driven) travel, quickly gaining popularity as an alternative to Delta-9 THC, and operating as the keystone blend in most microdosers or casual THC users' favorite gummies.
Today, we'll take a bit of a deep dive into what makes Delta-8 THC a fantastic experience to start with, stick with, and safely use THC with when you find the perfect blend for your interstellar adventure.
What is Delta-8 THC, and Why Do We Use It in Blends at Galaxy Treats?
To start off, delta-8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp plants, albeit in small amounts. It shares a similar chemical structure to Delta-9 THC, the compound responsible for those intergalactic effects you'll find on the ISS Galaxy ship's main lineup, but with some key differences that affect its potency and impact on your cruising altitude (highs!).
At Galaxy Treats, we blend a range of different potencies of delta-8 THC gummies to complete Delta-9 THC's counterpart. Depending on the high you're looking for, each gummy can offer a different kind of THC experience.
Delta-8 THC vs. Delta-9 THC: Key Differences
While Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC are both psychoactive cannabinoids, Delta-8 THC is often described by our customers at Galaxy Treats as a milder, more manageable high. Delta-9 THC is known for its potent effects, which can sometimes lead to anxiety and paranoia, especially in high doses. In contrast, Delta-8 offers a smoother experience with low intensity, making it appealing to users who want the benefits of THC without feeling overwhelmed.
Why is Delta-8 THC Becoming So Popular?
Several factors have contributed to the rising popularity of Delta-8 THC, and Galaxy Treats has made it our mission to offer them in a complete lineup:
- Milder Effects: Users who find traditional cannabis too intense often prefer Delta-8 for its smoother, more relaxing high. It also acts as a GREAT introduction into the space overall.
- Smoother Taste: You like gummies? Chances are, you'll like sweet THC treats, too. That's where Delta-8 can really make for a tasty THC experience without overwhelming you with that earthy, weed-like flavor you might be familiar with. However, this varies a great deal depending on the provider. See our reviews on Delta-8 THC gummies for trusted, delicious flavors.
- Longer Impact: While the effects may be lower in intensity, they can extend beyond the average THC experience length of high. Depending on if you go for a smaller potency or a stronger one, we have a suite of gummies, sour belts, and more for you to try.
Potential Benefits of Delta-8 THC
While we aren't medical professionals at Galaxy Treats, we have secure lab testing performed on all our products, and are familiar with all the ins and outs of what Delta-8 THC offers. While research on Delta-8 THC is still in its early stages, users and studies suggest it may offer several potential benefits, including:
- Reduced Anxiety: Many customers (with Galaxy Treats particularly) have reported a calming effect without the paranoia sometimes associated with Delta-9 THC.
- Pain Relief: Relieve all that soreness and fatigue overnight. Like other cannabinoids, Delta-8 may help with inflammation and pain management.
- Improved Appetite: Someone say munchies? Studies indicate that Delta-8 THC may stimulate appetite similarly to Delta-9 but with fewer side effects.
- Nausea Reduction: You WON'T have to deal with the motion sickness of space travel, don't worry. Delta-8 has been found to help with nausea and vomiting, particularly in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
