Is Delta-8 Good for Anxiety?

The world of THC derivatives expands more and more each day, and VaporFi is here to help you navigate it. If you’re familiar with this growing scene, then you’ve probably heard plenty about Delta-8 Tetrahydrocannabinol– simply “Delta-8,” for short. With nicknames like “diet weed,” “legal leaf,” and “weed lite,” it’s easy to understand how this weaker offshoot of marijuana has quickly gained a reputation for being an easier, breezier buzz for smokers who prefer a more relaxing herb experience.

The big question is, does it actually help anxiety? Those who deal with anxiety in different increments throughout the day may be looking for an alternative to curbing their nerves– for many, Delta-8 could help! In this VaporFi guide, we’ll go over both Delta-8 and anxiety, their relationship with each other, and some of our favorite delta goods of our own that may help.

How Delta-8 Affects Different People

First and foremost, we have to address the reality of how cannabis affects people. The truth is, everyone’s anxiety is expressed and dealt with differently; moreover, cannabis is processed in everyone’s brains differently, too. For this reason, we’re unable to give a clear, direct answer about which product is guaranteed to completely rid every user of anxiety. However, there are tons and tons of customer testimonies that speak to the power of Delta-8.

For many, run-of-the-mill cannabis can be too strong, and can actually cause more anxiety, producing a counterintuitive experience and more stress overall. This is where Delta-8 comes into play for many nowadays. With Delta-8, users can choose how to ingest the product– whether they want to smoke, eat, vape, or dab it– and experience a lighter, less-intense high capable of being much more comfortable than the “spaciness” and stone of regular cannabis. While it’s still possible to take enough Delta-8 to experience an uncomfortable buzz, it typically requires much more, and its effects last a lot shorter.

If you enjoy smoking weed but are tired of getting too “out there” for your comfort level, trying Delta-8 can deliver a similar experience without the head rush of a strong strain. Being just one cannabinoid selected from many found in THC, Delta-8 is less capable of delivering the wide range of effects that cannabis is sometimes known for. If you find that you get more anxious no matter how much or how little you smoke, we advise taking a break from smoking before your next session.

Using CBD vs. Delta-8 for Anxiety

Many may prefer to use CBD to treat their anxiety, or may use a combination of CBD and Delta-8 to create a hybrid of relaxing effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) does not contain THC– rather, it’s an active ingredient in THC itself– and therefore is much less psychoactive than smoking cannabis. CBD has risen in popularity for its extremely mellow, near-undetectable effects, instead producing a mild body high that only lasts for 30-45 minutes. Combining the low-stakes effects of CBD with Delta-8 typically creates an even more relaxing experience for users, and is a preferred method for feeling a little buzz without too heady of an experience. 

The Best Delta-8 Gummies for Anxiety

Luckily, if gummies are more your thing, VaporFi has plenty to offer, and at plenty of dosage amounts. In our collection of Delta-8 goods, you’ll find brands like Just Delta who prefer to stick to the basics– a jar of 20 gummies at a humble dosage of 250mg, making each gummy a very mellow 12.5mg each. We recommend these for people who want a chill, leveled experience in flavors like Watermelon Supernova and Exotic Peaches. For a little extra kick but with a similar lean toward chill, the Moonwlkr Delta 8 Gummies jar is here: this jar comes packed with 25 gummies at 25mg each, bringing the total to an impressive 625mg. However, most agree that edibles below 30-50mg are still in relaxing territory, and won’t take you too far out in space. One of these 25mg gummies is good for a couple hours’ worth of vegging out, and with flavors like Hyperion and Miranda available, you’re bound to have a breezy time. Third and most chill of all is the Dazed8 Gummy Nerds 6-pack, which delivers an ultra-easy 10mg in each gummy, providing a smooth journey for any hopeful traveler.

We encourage all of our customers and Delta enthusiasts to explore the full collection of our Delta-8 products. Check out some reviews, explore deals, and choose the gummies that feel right for you.

What's The Conclusion VaporFi Can Provide?

So, does Delta-8 help or cure anxiety? It’s hard to give a clear answer, but signs are pointing to yes for many. If you’re a longtime smoker looking to take it down a notch, Delta-8 may be just the thing for you. If you’re new to smoking and want to go into it with an easier approach, using “diet weed” like Delta-8 and other THC derivatives can also be a good strategy. The fact of the matter is that everyone’s a little different, so Delta-8 is bound to affect them differently, too. But at VaporFi, our curated list of brands and products is sure to help you find what works. If you’re curious about other THC derivatives, we offer other types as well!
