You may have heard of hemp and marijuana being different in that marijuana has Delta-9 THC, but what about Delta-8? If marijuana contains Delta-9, and hemp contains CBD, which plant contains Delta-8? Well, the short answer is, a little bit of both! In this article, we want to break down Delta-8 in flower form and roll it up into a way that you can fully understand.
Delta-8 THC Hemp and Marijuana
Believe it or not, Delta-8 is found in both hemp and marijuana plants. However, like CBN, Delta-8 is found in low amounts. As it stands, Delta-8 THC naturally found in cannabis is typically below one percent. It is incredibly rare to find a plant that has a greater amount than one percent Delta-8 THC. That being said, companies are still selling “Delta-8 THC Cannabis” that are infused with Delta-8 THC distillate oil to increase the Delta-8 THC potency. Both hemp and marijuana are infused with Delta-8 oil in order to create Delta-8 THC flower. Sadly, we have not found nor has anyone created a naturally growing highly potent Delta-8 THC cannabis strain. We will be sure to be on the lookout and let you know when we find it!
How to Make Delta 8 Cannabis
As previously mentioned, Delta-8 THC cannabis isn’t grown, it’s made. Delta 8 cannabis starts with hemp or marijuana. In most cases, it is made with industrial hemp. Once the hemp is dried and cured, it is coated in Delta-8 distillate oil through various methods. The most common way, is by spraying the flower with the Delta 8 oil. If you didn’t already know, this Delta-8 distillate is the same oil we use as the base for our products such as our Delta-8 MCT oil and pods. To find out how Delta-8 THC oil is made, check out or other articles that discuss how we create our products.
Once the hemp is coated with Delta-8 oil, it is dried once more before it is packed and labeled. Knowing this, you can imagine smoking Delta 8 flower can be a sticky situation.
Have you Ever Tried Delta 8 Flower?
Now you know how Delta-8 THC cannabis is made. Have you ever tried it? How was your experience? Many consumers report that the high from Delta 8 flower is not as long lasting as edibles and vapes. Additionally, users also note that vaping and eating Delta-8 THC products are more enjoyable than smoking Delta 8 cannabis. Is this the same case for you? If the different products were ranked by how long the high from Delta 8 lasts, we would place edibles in first, and Delta 8 flower last, with vapes being in the middle.
Delta 8 Flower Vs Concentrates
If you have tried Delta 8 flower, you may be wondering why isn’t it at Mints. At Mints, we believe that the best quality high from Delta-8 is through edibles, or our concentrated pods. When compared to Delta 8 flower, our Delta 8 pods come in several flavors and all have distinctive highs. Lastly, Delta 8 flower is difficult to ration. If you are new to Delta-8 THC, or prefer to know exactly how much you are consuming, our pods are the best choice to taking in controlled amounts of Delta 8. All of these reasons are more than enough as to why the pods and Delta 8 oil at Mints is the best way to consume Delta-8 THC.
