This is How Long Delta-8 THC Stays In Your System

Looking for a milder, less potent, still pleasant way to get your “high?” Delta-8 THC could be it. A lot of people opt for Delta-8, aka Diet Delta-9, for its smoother, less intense effects. Given that Delta-8 THC is known as Delta-9 light, some people may think that it stays in the body for less time than Delta-9. We’re here to give you all the information you need to know about how long Delta-8 THC stays in your system so you can make the best decisions about how and when to use these products.

An Overview of Delta-8 THC in the Body

If you’re looking for a hard and fast answer about how long Delta-8 THC stays in the body, we’re sorry to tell you that we cannot provide you with that. As with all substances, a variety of factors impact how long Delta-8 remains in the system. On average, Delta-8 can stay in the system for between 2 to 30 days. That’s a huge stretch of time, which leads us to discuss the factors that contribute to its lasting presence.

What Impacts The Length of Time Delta-8 Stays in Your System

How long Delta-8 THC can be detected in the body (via a drug test or other means) may depend on factors including:

  • Consumption Method of Delta-8 THC: Inhaling any substance (be it Delta-8, Delta-9, CBD, or CBG) will result in it remaining in the body for the longest period of time. That means smoking Delta-8 and using Delta-8 vapes will result in it staying in your body for longer than if you take edibles, use oils, or apply it topically.
  • Body Metabolism: Everyone’s body processes the things they consume differently. Your individual metabolism will impact how quickly Delta-8 THC stays in your body.
  • Dose of Delta-THC used: As you might expect, a higher dosage of Delta-8 THC will take longer to clear from your system than just a small amount.
  • Age of the User: Older individuals tend to metabolize Delta-8 THC at a slower rate than those who are younger, which means it will likely stay in their system longer.
  • Frequency of Use: The more frequently you use Delta-8 THC, the longer it will remain in your system. Habitual users may have detectable levels of Delta-8 for up to 30 days or more, while people for whom it was their first time will probably see it clear their systems faster..

Will Delta-8 THC Show up On a Drug Test?

Delta-8 THC will show up on a drug test, so it is highly advisable to refrain from using it if you know you have one coming up. While Delta-8 is not the same as Delta-9, the two are indistinguishable on urine drug tests. Keep this in mind as it relates to the frequency of your use, but don’t let it stop you from enjoying it! Just about everything can be enjoyed in the right circumstances.

A Beginner's Guide to Delta-8 THC Gummies

Welcome to the world of Black Tie CBD, where new and exciting CBD products are being released every day. Delta-8 THC gained mainstream clout in recent years for being D9’s lighter, more subtle THC friend. Since its introduction to the market, Delta-8 has exploded in popularity. It comes in various forms, including Delta-8 infused hemp flower, Delta8 Vapes, and of course Delta-8 THC gummies.

Never experimented with Delta-8 THC gummies before? You’ve come to the right place. We’ll break down everything you need to know about these tasty edibles so you can fully enjoy them.

What to Know About Delta-8 THC

It’s always good to do a quick overview of any topic at hand, so while we’re at it, let’s give a recap of what there is to know about Delta-8 THC. Delta 8 products come from the Cannabis sativa plant. As the only cannabinoid that contains all six Delta 8 phytocannabinoids in one compound, Delta-8 still offers psychoactive properties, but typically less so than its Delta-9 THC counterpart. It is because of this milder, smoother experience that many people refer to Delta-8 as “Delta-9 Lite.” This makes it perfect for beginners who may be inexperienced with THC products and are just looking to dip their toes into the cannabis waters.

Tips for First Timers

If it’s your first time using Delta-8 THC gummies, or edibles/gummies in general, we have a few tips to steer you in the right direction.

First, always remember to start slow. Taking ½ a gummy will be more than enough when you’re not accustomed to the substance. Some people even prefer to start with ¼ of a gummy. We just advise not to take the whole thing at once, as it could make for an experience that’s a bit too strong for your first go.

Secondly, know that you will likely feel some sense of a “high” or euphoria. This differs from CBD gummies and other CBD products. While the “high” won’t be as strong as if you took a Delta-9 THC gummy, it’s still important to know what to expect so you’re not caught off guard. Anticipate feeling more relaxed and a little giddy.

Third, when you’re ready to up your dosage, do so after you’ve waited about 90 minutes. Gummies take a bit of time to kick in, so you won’t know how they’ll affect you fully until after a period of time.

Choosing Delta-8 THC Gummies

There are tons of different flavors, consistencies, and types of Delta-8 THC gummies out there. With so many options, how can you know which ones are the best? The first thing to always do when evaluating any product (be it Delta-8, Delta-9, CBD, CBG, or others) is to make sure that its effects are lab-tested.

At Black Tie CBD, all of our products are analyzed by 3rd party labs. This adds a necessary layer of trust to our customers purchasing our products and verifies that all of our claims are legitimate.

Not sure where to start? We recommend our Relaxation Delta-8 THC Gummies (50 mg each)- Pineapple. Ease yourself into a Pineapple-flavored sense of relaxation with our blend of indica terpenes. All-natural, vegan, and gluten-free, these Delta-8 THC gummies have Myrcene and Linalool terpenes, which are known for their sedative and stress-reducing properties.

THC Vs. THCa: What is the Difference Between the Two?

If you know about cannabis, chances are you know about THC. Officially known as Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis that results in people feeling that their mind has been “enhanced,” altered, or that they’ve gotten “high.” THC and THCa may sound similar. After all, all that’s different is the addition of one letter, right? Wrong. These two share similar chemical compositions but their effects yield different results.

Understanding THC: Tetrahydrocannabinol

THC is typically the most important factor people consider when choosing certain cannabis strains and products. They evaluate the amount of THC content in a product and use that to help them decide how much of an effect they want to receive.

While there are lots of other cannabinoids in cannabis itself, THC is seen as king amongst those seeking its psychoactive properties. So what happens when you introduce another letter into the equation? You guessed it: we’re talking about THCa.

Understanding THCa: Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid

The “a” in THCA stands for acid but there’s more to understanding THCa than just that. While THCa and THC are both derivatives of the same cannabinoid, the slight alterations in their chemical makeups mean that they deliver different effects to the people consuming them.

By definition, THCa is an inactive cannabinoid that can be found in the trichomes of freshly-harvested, live cannabis plants. This differs from THC, which cannot be found in fresh cannabis plants.

THC vs. THCa: How the Two Differ

Knowing that one comes from freshly-harvested cannabis and one does not is good information, but that doesn’t tell us everything we need to know about how THC and THCa are different. The two share similar chemical compositions except for the fact that THCa has an additional carboxyl group. This matters because of the way it impacts the endocannabinoid system.

Whereas THC binds with the endocannabinoid system’s CB1 and CB2 receptors, THCa does not. THC is able to deliver the euphoric “high” that so many people seek because it  fits into a CB1 receptor but THCa does not. This is why THC will give you a certain psychoactive effect while THCa won’t.

THC vs. THCa: When Two Become One

The interesting thing about understanding the differences between THC vs. THCa really comes when you dive into converting one into the other. THCa is essentially the precursor to THC in its pre-decarboxylation stage. Decarbing THCa removes one carboxyl group (the extra carboxylic acid), which converts it to THC. This simple change in chemical structure is all that’s needed to go from low to “high.”

If you’re not sure which one is right for you, the place to experiment is Black Tie CBD. Our products are all third-party tested and approved. We make all our lab analyses available to our customers so they can make educated decisions about their THC vs. THCa purchases. We offer a wide variety of THC and THCa products, including smokables, edibles, tinctures, and more. To get started with THCa, we recommend exploring:

The 3 Most Popular Methods for Using CBD Tinctures

Lots of people have heard of CBD tinctures but not everyone knows how to use them. That’s where we come in. Black Tie CBD is here to educate the masses on CBD tincture use. In this post, we’ll break down the 3 most popular ways to use CBD tinctures so you get the most out of your cannabis.

1.  Taking CBD Tinctures Sublingually (Under the Tongue)

It is widely-agreed upon that the under-the-tongue method of taking CBD tinctures is inarguably the most effective way to reap the maximum amount of benefits. Ingesting CBD tinctures sublingually allows the cannabidiol to get absorbed into the bloodstream through the thin mucous membrane that lies underneath the tongue. Holding a dropper or half-dropper amount of CBD tincture under your tongue for about 30- 60 seconds before swallowing gives the membranes in your mouth enough time to transport the tincture’s contents into the blood vessels within the body. This method largely bypasses the digestive tract for the most fast-acting CBD tincture use effects.

2.   Adding CBD Tinctures To Your Food/Drink (DIY CBD Edibles)

If you’re looking for a fun and innovative way to incorporate CBD tincture use into your everyday life, adding them to your foods and/or beverages could be the way to go. People have various reasons for making CBD tincture use a part of their culinary concoctions. Some want the benefits of CBD but don’t like the taste, so they blend flavor-free versions of it into their favorite foods. Other people are really invested in making CBD tinctures part of their food and drink. For these people, the more experimental they get, the better. CBD tinctures go great in soups, sauces, dressings, and teas. If you’re planning on adding CBD to your food or drink, just be sure to exercise caution. A few things to consider regarding CBD tincture use and food are:

  • CBD in drinks like tea and coffee can be fine when following a predetermined recipe. This is important, especially given the mixture of caffeine with CBD.
  • It may be a good idea to avoid mixing CBD with alcoholic beverages.
  • Always take the necessary precautions when serving CBD-infused treats around children, toddlers, and pets.

3.   Applying CBD Tinctures Topically (To the Skin)

Another popular method of CBD tincture use is to start from the outside and let it work its way in! CBD tinctures work well even when applied topically, to the surface of the skin. Some people like making their own CBD tincture-infused massage oils and body butters, as they find that these products tend to offer better healing benefits and pain management remedies than alternatives. Some spas even offer special CBD massages that incorporate CBD-infused massage oils and lotions as part of the package. Whether for all-over use or spot-treatment, CBD tinctures applied to the skin may be beneficial for a mild yet effective way to help with muscle soreness, aches, and relaxation.

However you choose to use your CBD tincture, the key is to make sure you purchase from a reputable, reliable source. Black Tie CBD is the trusted name in CBD. All of our CBD tinctures, as well as the rest of our products, are third-party tested and verified for safety, efficacy, and potency.

Rosin Vs. Resin: How are the Concentrates Different and Which One is Better?

Are you familiar with cannabis concentrates? If not, let us introduce them to you! As the premier online retailer of CBD products, Black Tie CBD knows how important it is to get acquainted with all the different types of cannabis products out there. We’ll share a bit of insight about two of the most popular cannabis concentrates, rosin and resin, so you can stay as informed as possible.

What are Cannabis Concentrates?

Before we dive into whether rosin vs. resin is the better option, it’s important to have at least some basic understanding of what cannabis concentrates are in the first place. Cannabis concentrates are potent, concentrated versions of the cannabis plant. Also known as extracts, concentrates are most often consumed by dabbing, a process that involves heating the concentrate in a nail/banger (quartz chamber). Once the substance is sufficiently heated, vapor gets emitted into the air, which can then be inhaled.

While there are many different types of cannabis concentrates, the two most popular, most flavorful, most aromatic, and impactful are rosin and resin.

Many people turn to cannabis concentrates like rosin and resin because they are significantly more potent than cannabis flower. This means the user has a pretty good chance of getting a stronger high with less product.

Consuming Cannabis Concentrates

For a fast-acting way to consume cannabis concentrates, the fool-proof way to go has to be dabbing. People like dabbing for its fast-acting properties, and because some feel that it is safer to inhale vapor than smoke – the jury is still out on that one.

Dabbing is arguably the most popular way to consume cannabis concentrates, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only way. In fact, rosin and resin can easily be incorporated into live resin blunts, edibles, and tinctures. Just take these rosin products from Black Tie CBD as an example:

  • Wild Rosin Honey: Full-spectrum Hemp Rosin blended with 100% raw wildflower honey provides a rich, complex, and sweet array of flavors in an edible cannabis concentrate.
  • Live Rosin Delta 9 THC Gummies: Sativa-Infused Blue Raspberry flavor Delta9 THC + Live Rosin gummies deliver a solventless cannabis concentrate in edible form.

Now that you have a solid understanding of these cannabis concentrates, it’s time to dig deeper into what resin vs. rosin are, how they differ, how they’re similar, and which is better.

What is Resin?

Resin, most commonly referred to in the cannabis world as live resin, is a concentrated version of cannabis that is extracted by flash-freezing live cannabis plant matter before it goes through the hydrocarbon extraction process. Its strong flavor comes from the fact that the terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids in the product are still alive rather than having been dried out and cured.

What is Rosin?

Although similar to resin, live rosin is seen by some as the better of the two concentrates because it is extracted with a solvent-free method. Just like resin, producing rosin uses live plant matter instead of matter from the cannabis plant that has been curd. Once it is harvested, the plant gets put into an ice bath to further refine, filter, and isolate the THC trichomes. The material that remains then gets dried out and turned into bubble hash which is then mechanically compressed via heat and pressure to produce the concentrate we know as rosin.

Which is Better: Live Resin or Live Rosin?

Many regard live rosin as the superior concentrate because of the more complicated process that is required to acquire it. Additionally, its solventless extraction method yields a cleaner product overall. That said, the more complex extraction method also makes it more expensive, which doesn’t sit well with everyone’s wants, needs, and price points.

Both live resin and live rosin will deliver a high quality cannabis product above traditional cannabis flower. What is better for you depends on your budget, lifestyle, and preferences. Some people will be fine paying a premium for a cleaner, solventless product whereas others are willing to compromise for something a bit less expensive.

Pre-Rolled Hemp Joints

If you take a moment to stop and think about how we operate throughout most of our daily lives, a common theme that comes up is efficiency. We live in an age where efficiency is everything. Whether it’s ordering food online or paying our bills with the click of a button, we like the ease and convenience of streamlined processes. The same goes for pre-rolled hemp joints.

While there are reasons in every aspect of life to go back to basics and do each step yourself, there are certain situations that are actually made better by having someone else do the prep work for you. This is often the case with pre-rolls. Easy, convenient, and enjoyable, pre-rolled hemp joints make it easier to feel the way you want faster.

What are Pre-Rolls?

Pre-rolled hemp joints are just what they sound like: hemp joints that have been professionally rolled prior to purchase. Pre-rolls take the guesswork and extra effort out of rolling hemp joints yourself. They eliminate the hassle, mess, and confusion that sometimes accompanies smoking hemp to make the entire experience easier and more enjoyable.

While some people are sticklers for keeping everything original and going back to basics, others appreciate pre-rolls for the fact that they do the hard work for you. There are lots of reasons it’s worth it to buy pre-rolled hemp joints. We’ve laid out a few just to get you started.

Reasons to Buy Pre-Rolled Hemp Joints

1.    Pre-Rolls Mean Less Mess

What if you found out there was an easier, simpler way to smoke hemp? It turns out there is! Pre-rolled hemp joints are a less messy way to enjoy the same cannabis you know and love. While there’s a certain charm to rolling your own joints, the reality is that doing so often results in some of the cannabis getting wasted and some of the rolling papers getting ruined. There’s no risk of that happening with pre-rolls.

2.    A More Convenient Way to Smoke

What could be more convenient than joints that are pre-rolled for you? There’s no need to go through all the behind-the-scenes work of rolling joints yourself. Buying pre-rolls means you don’t have to go through all the hassle and grunt-work of rolling the joints yourself. Plus, because they’re pre-rolled, they’re also portable. Smoke them at home or put them in a little travel bag and take your pre-rolls with you to smoke at a friend’s place.

3.    Pre-Rolls are Perfect for Beginners

One of the things that sometimes holds people back from smoking joints is their fear of doing it wrong. If you’re new to hemp joints, it can be hard to know how much is too much and what’s not enough. While there’s something to be said for trial and error, not everyone is up for that and that’s quite alright. Pre-rolls take the guesswork out of the equation. You’ll know exactly how much you’re smoking with each joint, which could do wonders for putting those who are a little nervous at ease.

4.    Pre-Rolled Joints Come in Many Varieties

From size to strains, there are tons of varieties available in pre-rolled hemp joints. The one-size-fits all approach rarely works well; plus, we at Black Tie CBD know just as well as anyone that variety is the spice of life. That’s why we offer so many different types of pre-rolls. Just take these two, for example:

  • 1 Gram Delta8 Infused Purple Haze Pre-Rolls: These Sativa-dominant pre-rolls come 1.1-1.25 grams to a joint. The Delta8 Infused hemp flower is finely ground and expertly rolled into a joint for your enjoyment.
  • Harlequin (Indoor) Blast Pre-Rolls. This strain of pre-rolled hemp joints is perfect for just before bedtime. Indulge in the smooth pine taste followed by a mild, sweet orange/citrus undertone.

5.    High-Quality Joints

A major benefit of buying pre-rolled hemp joints is that there’s less room for mystery. You can be sure you’re getting high-quality pre-rolls when you purchase from a reputable retailer like Black Tie CBD. Our products are all third-party tested and we make our lab results available online. This means there’s no need to worry about fillers or less-than-quality products. Everything you get is verified safe and smoke-ready!
