Will Delta 9 THC Get You High?

 

Delta 9 THC can get you high, or a little “buzzed” depending on the amount of THC consumed. THC binds with the cannabinoid receptors that exist in your brain, leading to the psychoactive effects that follow it. Most users report psychoactive effects of relaxation, laughter, euphoria, and ease.

 

How Much Delta 9 THC Does it Take to Get High?

 

Different people react differently to Delta 9. Determining how much of a dosage it takes for someone to get high depends on a person’s age, weight, diet, and past experiences with Delta 9 THC. It’s important to consume a product with a specified dosage content to ensure you have a way to measure as you consume. Your Delta 9 edibles, dried flower, and other tinctures should clearly express what ratios of THC are inside.

 

Taking a smaller dosage, somewhere between 1 and 5 mg, can get you high if you don’t have much experience with Delta 9. Others with a higher tolerance to Delta 9 could take a higher dose between 10 to 20 milligrams, before feeling high.

 

How Long Does Delta 9 THC Take to Kick In?

 

How long it takes to feel the effects of Delta 9 THC depends on the type of consumption. There are several ways to consume Delta 9 THC, including inhalation, oral ingestion, sublingual and topical.  Each method has unique characteristics that influence the speed at which the effects are felt. Let’s look at each:

 

  • Inhalation: this includes vaping and smoking. Typically, the effects of Delta 9 THC when vaping or smoking are felt within minutes.
  • Oral Ingestion: oral ingestion typically includes edibles, pills and capsules. Oral ingestion can be felt within 20-30 minutes if they are fast acting edibles such as nama’s fast acting Delta 9 THC gummies or up to two hours for pills, capsules, and regular edibles.
  • Sublingual: sublingual THC often includes sprays, tabs, and tinctures. It’s a relatively easy process and takes little time to take effect, about 15 minutes.
  • Topical: this includes ointments and lotions. Topical products don’t get you “high” but you can feel slight tingling on the skin and some of the pain-relieving effects within 10-15 minutes.

 

It’s important to remember that each person is different and the amount of time it takes to feel the effects of Delta 9 can vary slightly from person to person.  

 

How Long Does a Delta 9 THC High Last?

 

Taking Delta 9 products can last a while due to its psychoactive properties, between 8-9 hours. If you are going to consume or inhale a product with THC without microdosing, you should get clear on your atmosphere and goals before using.

 

Does Delta 9 Keep You Awake?

 

A Delta 9 experience can lead you to feel drowsy and relaxed and might make you feel sleepy, but that depends on you, how much you’re using, and which strains you choose. There are many CBD products with THC on the market meant for better sleep, if that’s what you’re looking for, like CBD plus THC gummies. However, there are products developed like energy Delta 9 THC gummies with a unique blend that will keep you up and moving throughout the day.

What are the Benefits of Delta 9 THC?

 

Most people looking for the psychoactive elements of cannabis are looking for Delta 9, but users do react differently. According to the National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health, consuming Delta 9 THC products has been proven to ease certain symptoms of other health issues, such as nausea associated with chemotherapy, loss of appetite associated with HIV/AIDS, as well as chronic pain. The effects of Delta 9 have also been associated with reducing stress, anxiety and pain and inflammation.

 

Consuming Delta 9 THC will lead to the typical effects associated with being high, such as:

  • Increased appetite
  • Euphoric feelings
  • Decreased anxiety
  • Sleepiness
  • Boosted creativity
  • Feeling relaxed, laid-back
  • Improved sensory perception

 

The risks of Delta 9 THC include possible paranoia, confusion, and other impairments if too much is consumed. Do not operate machinery, cook, or drive a car under these conditions. Use discretion when this happens and be sure to pay attention to the signs in your body that may be telling you something’s not right or you overconsumed.

 

Is Delta 9 THC Stronger than Delta 8 THC?

 

Many experts have found that Delta 9 THC is stronger than delta 8 THC. In fact, users in a study by the University of Buffalo consider delta 8 to be Delta 9’s “nice younger sibling.” However, it can still get you high. Delta 8 has a much lower affinity to bind with a person’s cannabinoid receptors resulting in a potency that is estimated at being about a third of Delta 9.

Can Delta 9 THC Lead to a Negative Drug Test?

 

Yes. While you may not be “high” the next day or after 8-9 hours, Delta 9 will remain in your system for a few days. Because of this, Delta 9 THC can be detected on a drug test long after the effects have worn off. While the product might not actually be marijuana, it still contains a cannabinoid. It is crucial to keep this in mind before consuming any product with any sort of THC, including delta 8, 9, and 10.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Consuming cannabis products can be a stress-free experience. However, knowing the risks and benefits associated with Delta 9 can make the decision of how much to use or whether to use it at all easier. It may take some time to find the right fit for you, so be patient and attentive along the journey. You are your body’s greatest advocate.
