Delta-8 THC is not “diet weed.” It is intoxicating. It can hit softer than delta-9 for some people, but it is still THC in the driver’s seat.
347–352°F
175–178°C • commonly cited boiling point range for delta-8 THC
What delta-8 THC is
Delta-8 THC is an isomer of delta-9 THC. Same general family, slightly different double-bond placement, different feel for many users. The key point for your customers. It is intoxicating.
Delta-8 vs delta-9: what people notice
- Perceived intensity: many users report delta-8 feels milder than delta-9, but this varies by dose and tolerance.
- Clear-headed vibe: some people describe less anxiety than delta-9, others feel no difference.
- Edibles can ambush you: delta-8 edibles can still be long-lasting and strong. Start low.
Why delta-8 became everywhere
Delta-8 exists naturally in cannabis in very small amounts. Most commercial delta-8 products are produced at scale via conversion from other cannabinoids. That is why quality control matters. That is also why regulation is messy.
Safety: the part people skip, then regret
What to look for in lab results
- Potency: delta-8 content plus delta-9 content clearly listed
- Residual solvents: pass/fail with numbers
- Heavy metals: pass/fail with numbers
- Pesticides: pass/fail with numbers
- Unknowns: look for a profile that does not scream “unidentified peaks”
Vaporizing temperature: how to actually run it
If you are vaping delta-8 distillate or oil, your device and hardware matter more than the chart. If you are vaping flower, you are not targeting one molecule. You are extracting a spectrum.
Practical temperature strategy for dry herb vaporizers
- Warm-up and flavor:
365–375°F - Main extraction zone:
385–400°F - Finish only if needed:
405–410°F(stop well before combustion territory)
Legality basics
Delta-8 legality varies by state and can change quickly. It also depends on how a product is produced and how your jurisdiction interprets “hemp-derived” intoxicants. If you sell, verify your state rules and keep compliance documentation tight.
