Tried Kraydo delta8 gummies, updated first post. Updated again.

Apparently now you can legally buy Delta 9 gummies made from hemp.
I ordered some from spensary - they kicked my butt. I'll definitely be cutting them in half the next time.

You have been able to since 2018 as long as it's still under 0.3%. I think they make these gummies big so they can fit in a reasonable dose. The ones I've gotten from the dispensary are so tiny.

The curtain is closing on Delta 8 in TX. I've spent a bundle on stocking up -some vendors are still shipping. It doesn't look good.

D8 doesn’t seem to agree with me. I tried different varieties. It seems to make my eyes really dry and water heavily the next day and feel really worn out and hungover. Does anyone else get that?

As far as effects, I am highly sensitive to it. After only 10mg I would not feel much till about 2 hours, and then it comes on strong and just keeps building up to the point of anxiety and paranoia. The overall effect is not very pleasant, except maybe on occasion early on and more of a dark, ominous feeling with auditory hallucinations and dreamy thought distortions. I read that d8 is not a cannabinoid the plant naturally creates but rather a byproduct of d9 when it degrades, and unfortunately it does sorta feel like a dirty, inferior version of it to me.

D8 doesn’t seem to agree with me ... The overall effect is not very pleasant,

Just got some D-8 gummies from Delta Alternatives. 25 mg per gummy. I'm sensitive to THC (from smoking tons of weed in my youth!), but figured OK - took 1 on empty stomach, half hour before my usual Kratom serving.

Felt like... too much Indica! I got so bombed, stoned out... , it brought on a type of depression: Anhedonia, fatigue and low mood. Blah. This is what MOST "strains" of weed are doing these days - since everything's a hybrid - They (the Cannabis people) pretty much admit that now... All weed has been cross pollenated & you almost can't get real Cannabis Sativa anymore. Yes... they've ruined Cannabis, IMO. Great for laying on the couch "zonked".

I'll try again, next time around HALF a gummy, 12 mg - I also got a syringe of "Happy Honey" it's honey with some MCT oil infused w/ D-8 distillate.

I sometimes get this from D8, but most of the time I find it quite uplifting, similar to D9 THC, but without the stoned/paranoia feeling. Sometimes I think it has to do with how hydrated and/or tired I am.
I reckon with any kind of edible, it's good to start off with a half dose. Edibles hit hard.

Most of the time I use a vape pen for D8 (Delta Farms make the best carts, IMO). One puff and I'm feeling very good. I think D8 enhances listening to music even more than D9.
I find its good for tolerance breaks from kratom. I'm a fan of d8, I like it much more than pot. And I love that I can buy it online (for now, at least, some online vendors are still shipping to TX).

Lately I've also been liking the "Energy & Focus" D8 gummies from spensary: THCV + CBC + Delta 8. Lots of energy and euphoria.

I've bought a shit ton of d8 distillate because of the TX ban - distillate is by FAR the most bang for your buck. I'm gonna have to learn how to make my own gummies or sublingual oil I guess.

This is false, D8 IS a natural cannabinoid: WebMD: What is Delta 8? Delta-8 THC (or Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring chemical compound called a cannabinoid that’s found in small traces in hemp and cannabis (marijuana) plants.

I don't begrudge your experience with d8, people can have different reactions to it, just as people have different reactions to kratom. People may have different reactions, but misinformation about d8 sucks - just as misinformation about kratom sucks.

What is the source of your delta 8? There are a lot of sellers now. Kinda like gas-station kratom, some might not be so good.

Yes, I understand. I don’t believe that part is misinformation. I didn’t mean it’s not naturally occurring, but that the plant does not synthesize it like d9 or cbd but instead d8 being a by-product of d9 when it degrades. I’ve tried a few gummies, one was from canna-aid and can’t remember the rest but were supposed to be good quality.

Yeah I know what you mean. I got a similar feeling. I don’t like all the fancy weed either. I’d rather just have the “mids” from back in the day tbh.

???

D9 degrades into CBN, not d8.

The plant absolutely does produce natural d8, it is not a byproduct of degradation, unless you are talking about degradation from CBG which is also the case with d9

There is really nothing natural about high d9 THC levels anyway. With the OG landrace strains you only saw like 2-5%. They were much higher in CBD than today's strains

Back in the highschool days before everything was indicaized, we'd have so much fun just laughing and enjoying ourselves, cruising with the cerebral high with a touch of the munchies. Is there true sativa left?

I got some full spectrum cbd oil which made me pretty unpleasantly stoned. Alliant sent me a second bottle, this time cbd isolate, which is nice and relaxing.

100% this! I used to LOVE smoking weed in my teens/early 20s (i.e., back in the 80's), but I can't smoke today's uber-potent weed, even small amounts make me feel anxious and overall uncomfortable. Thankfully I've found a source for THC edibles that's consistent in terms of their dosing, so each gummy or piece of chocolate is the same. I don't know why, but for some reason edibles don't give me the anxious feeling that smoking gives me. But I'm going to spend time researching different Delta-8 suppliers, seems like way more "bang for your buck".

With regards to everyone's concerns about the government cracking down on the Delta-8 community, it seems like there are more stores and websites than ever, is the consensus still that it's only a matter of time before things get shut down, or has the pendulum swung in the other direction now?

I DO THINK IT SWUNG IN OTHER DIRECTION. Think about it, so many CBD stores open , all states almost on every corner, you seriously think they wont have a huge push back??? 3chi is sold almost all CBD stores, and if want just sativa mode, 3chi has a upper 100% hemp-derived HCC. Just look for HCC ON PACKAGE. somethin like https://www.3chi.com/product/hhc-mini-pack-gummies/ . 2 edible samples to see if you like it. just have some food ready in your fridge, once you wake the monster up, there is nothing to stop it. If got no food, you will munch on all the cookies and junk food you can find. you have been warned,
