How long does a delta 8 disposable high last?

Share This Post

Hemp-based products have attracted attention due to their claimed health benefits. Delta 8 disposables, one of such products, is known for its intoxicating effects. Herein is everything you need to know about the factors determining how long a delta 8 disposable high lasts, including concentration, body chemistry, and foods consumed.

The main elements of the hemp plant are terpenes, flavonoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabidiol. Consumers purport that these elements have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, suitable for improving people’s and animals’ health and wellness. Delta-8 pens comprise organic THC as the dominant element. However, unlike other elements, THC has received much attention from researchers regarding its impact on users’ health. Some suggest that it can get you high and others that it can improve your health if taken considerably. How long do the high effects of delta 8 disposables last? Learn more below.

Is THC Safe?

The safety of THC remains unresolved, despite numerous speculations on its impact. THC used for manufacturing Delta-8 vape juice is obtained from organic hemp plants. The hemp plant’s THC levels are below 0.3% and are considered insignificant to get you high. According to Fattore, Liana & Walter (2011), THC has intoxicating effects that can make you feel “high” effects such as experiencing dizziness, poor memory, anxiety, and red eyes, especially when taken in higher concentrations.

A contradictory opinion suggests that THC can improve your general health. According to Gallily, Yekhtin & Lumir (2018), THC has anti-inflammatory properties important for regulating hormone production. As a result, it improves conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, and pain. Boehnke, Hauser & Fizcharies (2022) noted that full-spectrum containing THC showed promising results in lowering anxiety. However, only considerable amounts of THC were involved. Vaping Delta-8 THC can either improve your health or get you high, depending on the amounts you use. Notably, neither of the benefits of THC has been approved.

How Long Doe Delta-8 Stays In Your System

Various factors determine the duration the THC in delta-8 vapes would take in your system. Some of the factors include;

The Concentration

Like any other dose, THC’s impact and duration in staying in an individual’s body increase with the rise in doses. Taking excessive amounts of delta-8 results in its accumulation in the body, making it hard for the liver to process it. Although the liver can handle too much, it also takes longer to work on it. Contrastingly, lower potency levels are processed faster out of the system. Therefore, it is important to take low potency levels to speed up processing in the body, shortening the time you will have to feel high with Delta-8 THC.

The Experience

Your body might have already gotten used to THC if you are a veteran. This lowers the high effect and the time THC needs to be processed. However, THC is accumulated in veterans’ bodies, which might take longer to clear. On the contrary, although Delta-8 THC might have a larger impact on beginners even with low potency levels, it is likely to be flushed out faster. Low doses might easily get you high as a new element is introduced into your body. Therefore, Delta-8 THC stays longer in veterans’ bodies since the body gets comfortable with it, unlike first-time users.

Your Body Chemistry

People with a strong immunity fight out Delta-8 THC from their systems faster than those with weak body resistance. If the body gets overwhelmed by THC, it takes time to flush it out since it controls various receptors in your systems, including B1 and B2. On the contrary, strong immunity fights THC faster, making you high for a shorter time. However, this can only happen if you are hitting it once or twice weekly and the body is yet to adapt.

Foods You Eat

Are you a beverage or a solid food person? This determines how long you experience Delta-8’s effects. People who take a lot of healthy beverages are likely to have a faster metabolism. Water or fluids speed metabolism, improving the rate of digestion. This flushes out Delta-8 faster. In contrast, if you are fond of solid foods, your digestion might be slower, reducing the time Delta-8 is to clear from your systems. Although not guaranteed, you can use the same theory if you wish to clear the high effect faster.

Other Elements

The elements blended in your Delta-8 vape juice help speed up the time you have to be high. According to Delta & Legal (2022), MCT or coconut oil is one of the most effective organic elements widely used in hemp-based products. MCT oil has bioavailability properties that speed up the absorption rate. Notably, the faster the absorption rate, the faster it clears from your system freeing you from the high effect.

Why Do I Always Get High Every time I Use Delta-8?

Although THC is a psychoactive element, the amounts found in hemp are low. However, this is not a guarantee that you won’t get high. One of the main reasons behind getting “high” with low potency levels of Delta-8 is that you are a beginner. Gold (2013) noted that novices are likely to get high even with low potency levels of under 5 mg per ml because they are reacting to a new element. Another reason is taking marijuana-based Delta-8 THC. Marijuana THC levels are concentrated enough to get you high with minimum usage. Lastly, cross-contamination. Avoid medications or drugs with psychoactive side effects because they increase the intoxicating effects of Delta-8, making you “high” easily.

Conclusion

The duration THC from Delta 8 stays in your body is based on various factors, including potency levels, your experience, your body chemistry, and the foods you eat. THC might still test positive in your body about three months after you have stopped using. This is especially the case if you are an addict. Clearing out Delta-8 THC from your systems is also possible. Consider taking a lot of water to speed up metabolism, clearing it out. There are various reasons you are probably getting high with Delta-8 THC, including cross-contamination and secondary exposure to too much THC from marijuana.
