I just want to add this comment because it's being discussed, but Delta 8 is much stronger than advertised. I used to smoke everyday and got into dabs for awhile. I stopped cold turkey for years and bought a delta 8 gummy on a whim online because everyone said if you have bad experiences with weed then Delta 8 is the way to go. Let me tell you that shit fucked me up badly.

I was in for a relaxing night just chilling with my girl and watching some foreign horror movie. I had such a strong reaction to Delta 8 that I tried to just lay down and close my eyes. I could feel every word that was spoken in the movie in my chest and fingertips. It was one of the worst weed experiences I've ever had. It's so much stronger than advertised and I only ate half the gummy too. I didn't have to upload my ID or anything to get it. I'm 100% in favor of full legalization of basically everything and letting adults do whatever the fuck kind of drug they want to do so this isn't a post to sway anyone against weed or Delta 8. I just wanted to share my experience with it.

Oh yeah it's not something I'd mess about with if you're sensitive to cannabis in the first place, although it does have a lower potency than the traditional Delta-9-THC, it can still get you stoned. Especially if you have little to no THC tolerance. Experienced users tend not to get much out of it.

Weird, I need to eat like 3 gummies to even feel anything.

That's what I've heard from others too. I've had mixed experiences with CBD tincture also. They all say there's barely any THC in them, yet I do catch a buzz every once in awhile.
