How Long Do Delta 9 Edibles Last?

Delta 9 edibles are a type of cannabis-infused food available in a variety of forms, including gummies, candies, chocolates, caramels, and brownies. Delta 9 edibles are made by infusing THC into an edible carrier, such as butter, oil, or flour.

If you’re looking for powerful cannabis effects that last for several hours, our THC gummies are all-natural, lab-tested, and derived from hemp grown in the USA. They are an ideal way to get your daily low dose of cannabis.

Types of Delta 9 Edibles

There are many different types of Delta 9 edibles, each with its own unique set of benefits and drawbacks.

Delta 9 caramels and candies are a popular choice for those who want a tasty treat that delivers a powerful punch.

If you're looking for a mellow THC product, gummies fit the bill. They come in a variety of fruit flavors, making them a delicious way to enjoy your Delta 9. Often, they contain other, more rare cannabinoids like CBN, CBG, and THCV—all of which contain unique medicinal and recreational benefits.

A very popular type of Delta 9 edible is the brownie, which is known for its rich chocolate flavor and potent effects. However, brownies can be difficult to make at home, and the high-fat content can cause stomach upset in some people.

Another popular type of Delta 9 edible is the cookie, which is easier to make and can be stored for longer periods of time. Cookies also tend to be less potent than brownies, making them a good choice for those who want to enjoy the benefits of Delta 9 without experiencing overwhelming effects.

No matter what your preference is, there's an edible option that's perfect for you. namaCBD offers delicious, hemp derived vegan edibles that use a Delta 9 extract derived from American hemp. All our products derived from hemp, including our gummies for sleep and our vegan CBD gummies, go through rigorous third-lab lab testing for quality and potency.

The Effects of Delta 9 Edibles

The effects of Delta 9 edibles can be felt within 30 minutes to two hours, and they can last for four to six hours. The effects vary depending on THC concentration, as well as on the individual.

Tolerance is a major factor in how strong the effects of Delta 9 edibles will be. If you frequently consume cannabis, you will have a higher tolerance for THC and Delta 9 edibles will not affect you as strongly.

Those with more body mass tend to feel the effects of Delta 9 edibles for a shorter period of time than those with less body mass.

An empty stomach is generally best for experiencing the full effect of Delta 9 edibles. If someone has just eaten a lot of fatty foods, for example the effects of Delta 9 will be delayed and weakened. THC is fat-soluble and needs to be broken down by the digestive system before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Those with faster metabolisms will burn off the effects of THC sooner than individuals with slower metabolisms.

Whether you are new to cannabis or an experienced consumer, it is important to be aware of these factors so that you can use Delta 9 edibles safely and effectively. Check our guide to the relative benefits of drinks vs edibles to compare which form of Delta 9 THC consumption might be right for you.

The shelf life of an edible will depend on its ingredients. On the topic of spoilage, we can divide edibles into two categories:

1. Those that contain an ingredient, such as milk, that can spoil
2. Those that don’t contain ingredients prone to spoilage (ours)

Edibles can go bad simply because their ingredients have expired—if they belong to the first category. For example, if an edible contains dairy, it will have a shorter shelf life than an edible that doesn't. Simply said, when those ingredients start to go bad, so does the edible.

Spoilage vs Potency Loss

Like any food out there, cannabis edibles have an expiration date.

Depending on how they were made, processed, and whether or not they contain preservatives, the freshness of edibles will vary from as little as a few days to as long as two years.

The THC in all cannabis edibles will lose potency over time, starting after a couple years on the shelf. Edibles stored in warm or humid conditions—or exposed to too much light—are more likely to lose potency.

While our edibles won't go bad in the traditional sense, they are best consumed within two years for maximum effect.

When it comes to choosing a cannabis product with a long shelf life, our edibles are a great option. Our Delta 9 gummies, in particular, tend to be very stable.

The Connection Between a Good Cannabis Extract and The Quality of The Delta 9 Edible

The shelf life of an edible product is also affected by the quality of the cannabis extract and the way it is introduced into the product.

Some cannabis extracts are not very stable. Special extraction techniques—such as we use to create our THC and CBD extracts—result in much more stable and durable edibles.

If you're looking for high-quality, federally legal Delta 9 THC products, we recommend checking out our wide spectrum of THC gummies, sleep gummies, CBD gummies that contain ashwagandha, and full spectrum CBD products that contain Delta 9.

Our Delta 9 THC gummies are vegan and made from high-quality American hemp. Choose the perfect edible for you from an array of flavors and potencies we offer. No matter which gummy you get, it is made from natural ingredients and is Federally legal in the US.

How Can You Tell If a Delta 9 Edible Has Lost Its Potency or Spoiled?

When it comes to edibles, there are a few key indicators that can help you tell if they've lost potency or spoiled.

• Look at the color. If your edibles have lost their bright color, or have started to fade, it's likely time to toss them out.
• Check for mold. Even a small amount of mold can make edibles unsafe to consume, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
• Smell your edibles. If your edibles have developed an off odor or smell different than usual, it's probably time to get rid of them.
• Look for signs of dryness, or roughness. This can also indicate that your edibles are no longer fresh.
• Check the package.If you detect any condensation droplets, it indicates your edibles are no longer airtight and have likely passed their expiration date.
• Read the ingredients. If your edibles contain ingredients that can spoil (ours don’t) and they’re past their expiration date, don’t trust them.

If you’re unsure, it's best to throw out your edibles and order new ones.

Delta 9 vs Delta 8 Edibles—What are the Differences?

Delta 9 and Delta 8 are both tetrahydrocannabinol compounds derived from hemp flowers or other parts of the cannabis plant.

The only chemical difference between Delta 9 vs Delta 8 THC is the placement of one particular carbon double bond. Delta 9 has the carbon bond on the 9th carbon atom, while Delta 8’s double bond is on the 8th carbon atom. Due to this small difference in their chemical composition, Delta 9 and Delta 8 have different effects.

How long do Delta-8 effects last?

There are many factors that will play into how long a person's Delta 8 effects will last. The amount of Delta 8 taken, the person's tolerance, and how the Delta 8 is ingested will all affect the duration of the high. In general, however, the effects of Delta 8 THC can last from 3 to 10 hours.

The exact amount of time will depend on the person taking Delta 8. Some people may find that their high wears off after a few hours, while others may find that they are still feeling the effects 10 hours later.

Do Delta 9 gummies have side effects?

• Low doses of THC help some migraine sufferers
• THC microdosing seems to help dementia symptoms
• THC micro doses can improve sleep for some users

An ultra-low dose of cannabis is considered anything less than a milligram of THC; the most common low-dose products, such as our Energy Gummies, contain 2.5 mg of THC per serving.

There are many benefits of microdosing THC from improving focus and concentration to promoting relaxation. In addition, THC microdoses can help to reduce anxiety and nausea. Therefore, it is important to find the dose that works best for you and stick with it. Start low and go slow, and you'll be sure to find the perfect dose of Delta 9 for your needs.

Check out our guide on how to microdose cannabis for info on the best microdosing methods. Hint: it’s edibles.

Is Delta 9 more potent than CBD?

Delta 9 is more potent than CBD in terms of felt effects. It interacts strongly with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically the CB1 and CB2 receptors. CBD, in contrast, interacts weakly if at all with CB1 and CB2.

CBD products (such as CBD oils, CBD gummies, CBD capsules, and CBD tinctures) won't cause a high, but will likely have a mild anxiolytic effect.

Delta 9 THC can induce a high at sufficient dosages (much higher than those found in our edibles).

Both compounds have different effects on the body, and each is beneficial in its own way. Together, THC and CBD produce an entourage effect, so it's highly beneficial to take them together. The best way to do so is with full spectrum CBD products, as they contain low doses of THC in addition to CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

If you can't decide whether to take CBD or Delta 9, try our Euphoria gummies that combine the benefits of both compounds. We wrote a guide on the differences between CBD and THC, so give that a read.

Are HHC disposables stronger than Delta 9 THC edibles?

Some users describe HHC as a lighter version of THC, and HHC disposables are said to have less potent psychoactive effects than Delta 9 THC. However, our THC edibles contain low doses, so comparing HHC disposables to Delta 9 edibles is hardly apples to apples. It really depends on what dosage you’re getting from your HHC disposable.
