Edibles
Edibles are pieces of food, usually gummies, infused with Delta 8. They’re quick and easy to take, and even if a whole gummy is too strong for your tastes, you can cut them into smaller pieces with a knife.
One of the biggest benefits of edibles is flavor.
Straight Delta 8 tends to have a bitter taste. However, mixing it with gummies, gum, or other options masks the flavor. This means you can get your Delta 8 dose fast and without having to worry about an unpleasant experience.
You’ll have to wait at least an hour for the benefits to take effect, though.
After eating an edible, your liver breaks it down and spreads the Delta 8 through your bloodstream, which takes longer than other methods. However, once the Delta 8 starts working, it will last much longer than other options.
Recipes
If you enjoy cooking, you can mix Delta 8 oil into your favorite foods. This gives you a fun and creative way to get your dose, and you can keep trying new recipes if you don’t like one.
This also gives you a good way to share your Delta 8 with friends or family members if they also want to try it. You can make a large batch of cookies and all get a fair share.
Like edibles, it will also take some time to notice the effects if you cook your Delta 8 into recipes. The benefits will be long-lasting, though, so a Delta 8-infused meal can give you pain relief for the whole night.
Vaping
When you vape Delta 8, the benefits take effect almost right away. If you’re working on a project and want a clear mind a strong focus, vaping might be the best option for you.
However, the effects won’t last nearly as long as edibles. It’s better to try vaping if you want to reduce anxiety or improve your concentration. If you looking for pain relief, another one of the options on this list may give you better results.
Delta 8 Flower
Delta 8 flowers are flowers of the cannabis plant infused with the Delta 8 cannabinoid. You can use this flower in a variety of ways, including smoking, vaping, and cooking. The benefits will have a similar speed to that of vaping or adding it to recipes, depending on how you use it.
This type of flower tends to be more potent than other Delta 8 products, so make sure you adjust your dose accordingly.
Oral Tinctures
This is one of the most popular ways to take Delta 8. Simply take some Delta 8 infused oil, pour a few drops underneath your tongue, and let it absorb through your sublingual cells.
Tinctures spread through your body at a fast speed, much like vaping, but they benefit your body similarly to edibles. Because of this, the effects will last longer than smoking, which gives you the best of both worlds.
The problem with tinctures is the taste.
If you aren’t a fan of the bitter flavor, you might not enjoy this method. Washing out your mouth with water when you’re done or eating one of your favorite foods might help. You can also find flavored oil, which can make the process more bearable, but you may want to stick with a different option.
Topicals
Are you experiencing pain in a single joint? Do you want it to go away but don’t want to experience a high, even a small one?
Buy a Delta 8 topical.
You can rub this product directly on your skin or problem area, and the pain relief will start to kick in after a few minutes. You can find topicals in the form of creams, lotions, salves, and even lip balms.
The effects of this type of Delta 8 product won’t impact your entire body, though. While you’ll get pain relief in the necessary area, it won’t do much for the clarity of your mind or anxiety. Because of this, topicals aren’t the right choice for everyone.
