Does Delta-8 Make You Happier?

Delta-8 THC is a known mood booster for mellow euphoria that isn't as intense or potentially stress-inducing as using Delta-9 might be. While both are intended for enjoyable, recreational use, they can induce very different experiences, depending on:

  • User's tolerance
  • Quality of the gummy
  • Potency
  • Dietary choices
  • Frequency of exercise

Together, each of these elements will be a variable in the effects of Delta-8 THC, especially when it comes to gummies at Galaxy Treats. Let's take a deep dive into what makes Delta-8 THC stand out as a blend of intended effects, the potential supported benefits they offer, and the variability of quality in the industry.

What is Delta-8 THC, and How Do We Use It at Galaxy Treats?

Delta-8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis, but it is distinct from the more commonly known Delta-9 THC, which is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Delta-8 is chemically similar to Delta-9 but has a slightly different molecular structure, which results in a more subtle, less intense high. While Delta-9 is known for causing significant psychoactive effects, Delta-8 typically produces a milder experience, making it a popular choice for those who want to avoid the anxiety or paranoia sometimes associated with stronger THC strains.

We offer different pairings of each to create fun, enjoyable, and predictable experiences. Instead of guessing on your next high, you can start with a microdose, a medium dose, or more powerful potency with each of our different gummy blends. The trick is to finding your tolerance, desirable effects, and knowing how each of these will affect you (cognitively, in particular).

How Does Delta-8 THC Affect the Brain?

Delta-8 works by binding to the body’s endocannabinoid receptors, primarily the CB1 receptors in the brain. These receptors play a key role in regulating your mood, stress, appetite, and how you feel pain. By interacting with these receptors, Delta-8 can influence neurotransmitter release, which offers a more soothing sensation across the board with stress and pain, as well as an increase in appetite.

While Delta-8’s effects are less intense than Delta-9’s, they still have the potential to uplift your mood. Many cadets on our ship report feeling relaxed, euphoric, and mentally clear, without the overwhelming feeling of being "too high." This makes Delta-8 an appealing option for those who seek a mood boost without the potential for paranoia or heavy sedation that can come with stronger cannabis strains.

Now, the real question: Does it make you happier?

Can Delta-8 Make You Happier?

The short answer is yes—Delta-8 can make you feel happier, at least temporarily. Here’s how:

  • Reduced Stress and Anxiety
    • Feeling a little overwhelmed with work or your life at home? One of the primary benefits of Delta-8 is its ability to ease anxiety and stress. Many cadets have reported to us at Galaxy Treats a sensation of feeling calm and relaxed after using Delta-8 in our gummies, which can help alleviate the pressures of daily tasks and responsibilities. This sense of calm can contribute to a happier state of mind, especially for those who experience chronic stress or anxiety.
  • Mood Enhancement
    • Sick of getting down? Like other cannabinoids, Delta-8 has the potential to increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that are closely linked to mood regulation and feelings of pleasure. By promoting the release of these "feel-good" chemicals, Delta-8 may enhance feelings of happiness and contentment.
  • Improved Sleep
    • Getting good sleep is essential for mental and emotional well-being, and Delta-8 in gummies like our Starberry or Blue Razz flavors may improve sleep quality by helping users relax and unwind. A better night’s sleep often translates to better mood and more energy during the day, which can make you feel happier overall.
  • Mild Euphoria
    • Delta-8 provides a mild euphoria that can brighten your mood without making you feel disoriented or anxious. This gentle high allows users to enjoy a sense of well-being and lightheartedness, which can lead to an uplifted mood.

Considerations and Side Effects When Using Delta-8 THC

While Delta-8 may offer mood-boosting benefits, it’s important to remember that everyone’s body reacts differently to cannabinoids. For some, Delta-8 may cause mild side effects like dry mouth, red eyes, or slight dizziness. These effects are generally short-lived, but it’s always important to start with a low dose to gauge your individual tolerance.

Luckily, we use industry-leading quality THC and offer some of the best blends in the Galaxy. This makes for getting to that perfect level of euphoria with none of the paranoia or anxiety. Now let's find you a flavor.
