Delta 8 THC, also referred to as Delta-8, is “almost” THC. Technically, what we know as “THC” is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, a cousin of today’s star: delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol. We will talk more about the difference between them later.

Delta-8 is a cannabis compound found in small amounts in cannabis and hemp plants. Though not an easy compound to extract directly from the plant (in fact, it needs more processing than extracting CBD), it is more and more demanded due to its remarkable similarity to what we commonly know as THC, with the big difference of being legal in many states across the US – 38 to be precise.

Delta 8 THC is commercialized through Delta 8 THC flower. There is no such thing as an actual Delta 8 flower, though, but what they are is a regular hemp flower, infused with Delta 8 THC concentrate, creating an “altered” flower that you can consume legally in some places.

Similar from a chemical perspective, since they both have a double bond in their structures, Delta-8 and delta-9 (regular THC) bind to our endocannabinoid system, giving us the feeling of being high due to the intoxicating effects of said double bond.

What makes them chemically different is that Delta-9 THC has the double bond on the ninth carbon atom of its chain, while Delta-8 THC has it on the eighth one (hence their names).

This is thought to be the reason why Delta-8 THC is less potent – that is, it doesn’t give you such a high – than Delta-9 THC. It will get you high, though, but not as much. This can be positive for those who want a smoother ride, but mainly for those who want to consume weed legally.

Most of the effects that Delta-8 THC produces are the same as regular THC. Happiness, relief, sleepiness, you name it. Again, all the same, but less potent than your average Delta-9.

Side effects are also comparable to regular THC, like bloodshot eyes, paranoia, dryness in your mouth, etc. At the time of this article, Delta-8 has not been studied enough, but so far, it seems to be about the same as regular THC.

Since not many studies have yet been made on Delta 8, finding the most reliable sources for buying Delta 8 THC flower is essential. All trustworthy producers have a website or a source of information, including the origin and processing of the hemp plant.

I highly suggest reading through this data to make sure you are purchasing high-quality material. If you know of a provider who does not even have a place to go to and read about their product, I would say stay away.

Once you have the necessary information at hand, make sure you get the specifics on the following two details:

• THC Content: Delta 8 flower will have traces of Delta 9 THC, and that’s ok as long as you are aware of how much and what its effect can be on you. Ideally, the provider will include laboratory results or a Certificate of Analysis to tell you exactly what their products contain. Check them out and make sure everything is safe for you.
• Manufacturing Process: As previously mentioned, to get a clean dose of Delta 8 THC, you need a very long and scrupulous process, and all manufacturers should be transparent about this, informing consumers about every step of the job. The methods used can vary, but they should always follow high standards and perform high quality to ensure you are getting a pure and clean product.

I also like to check if the manufacturers offer various strains since it is nice to taste different herbs from one provider once you know it’s the one you are comfortable purchasing from.

This said the next section would walk you through some of the highest-ranked Delta 8 THC flower brands out there.

This brand is unique for its craftsmanship and has an exciting way of infusing the hemp flower to get the Delta 8 THC in them. 

Instead of spraying the distillate on the flower in liquid form, they freeze the Delta 8 concentrate and then crush it once it’s solid, turning the distillate into a powder that infuses the flower more evenly and avoids harshness and sticky textures on the bud.

Their Delta-8 Strawberry Banana Kush is a truly potent Sativa that comes with 14% Delta-8 THC and 9.6% CBD in addition to terpenes and flavonoids. This flavorful and powerful flower is a great option if you are looking for something pleasant and smooth to consume at any time of the day.

The Kush Kolectiv team gives us the 4G Flower collection. These flowers come from CBD-rich strains that the team cover in Delta 8 THC distillate. This way, smoking a 4G Flower produces potent physical and mental effects due to the combination of CBD and Delta 8 THC.

Both worlds come together in every session to provide you with a complete state of well-being. The effects of cannabinoids and top-quality terpenes profiles indulge your senses with a flavorful and intense sensorial moment.

Every variety of the 4G Flowers has a different experience waiting for you. Whether you seek a flower to smoke during the evening, a nice wake-and-bake, or a blanched hybrid to smoke during a chill moment, you will find it here:

• Tarzan (Balance Hybrid)
• Mario Cart (Balanced Hybrid)
• Sticky Finger (Balanced Hybrid)
• Storm Chaser (Balanced Hybrid)
• Death Star (Indica)
• Jungle Jane (Sativa)

I highly recommend checking out Delta Extrax’s website to understand what I mean by thoroughly communicating all the necessary information to choose your flower well. They are not only certified in different, critical fields, but they also include information about their lab tests and have a very cute “Learning Center” devoted to giving you the information you need about Delta 8 per se.

They also sell Bubba OG Kush, but the Sour Diesel Delta 8 THC Flower is the house specialty, a bit intense when you smell it for the first time. Still, you start loving it immediately after you try it, especially if you need concentration and creativity in your mind with one same joint.

Here’s our full brand review for more!

What sets Delta 8 Resellers apart from the competition is their commitment to building strong relationships with the top hemp brands on the market.

Delta-8 flower is relatively new to the market, so we recommend going with a trustworthy brand like Crescent Canna.

We love their Lunar Lander Delta-8 Indica Flower, which is sourced from an organic farm in Oregon. This indica-dominant hybrid is visually striking, with a delicious earthy aroma. 

Its powerfully soothing effects are great for unwinding and letting stress melt away. You’ll feel this potent flower’s effects in just a few tokes.

Primarily focused on CBD, the Plain Jane Delta 8 Legendary Hemp Flower produces a soothing effect that is ideal for relieving pain and helping with sleep.

Since the popularization of Delta 8 around the United States, people have been searching for the perfect flower. But is there only one answer to that? Plain Jane might be the answer to that question.

For those who are regular consumers of weed, the huge number of different flowers around the world makes it difficult to choose just one as your favorite. Maybe you want some relaxing effect, or you want to keep being productive, etc.

With Delta 8, something similar happens, with the difference that because it is relatively new, there has not been too much research in comparison to “regular” weed. The options for Delta-8 flowers are not that wide, but still, there are enough options to please consumers.

Fortunately, brands like Plain Jane can help a lot in finding the best Delta 8 to buy.

This American company offers a huge variety of products, including pre-rolls, edibles, oils, and blunts. Everything you can think of can be found here. In addition to all the options for getting high, they have a catalog of top-quality flowers that can easily fight for the title of the best flower.

I cannot insist enough on checking on the background of the companies when you’re buying any weed product online. Being a unique product, it is essential that you don’t get sold anything and that all the rights tests and certifications are there.

The brands shown here are all well known in the cannabis space, and you can safely buy from them. The internet is a tricky place, even more, when it comes to cannabis. So avoid shady websites or brands and go with any of the above-mentioned.

On a final note, the legal status of Delta 8 products is currently changing a lot. Despite it being legal almost all over the country, we suggest you check your local policies before purchasing any D8 product online.
