Delta 8

Our Delta 8 shop carries hemp-derived Delta 8 THC (delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol) in gummies, carts, tinctures and drinks, all available to ship from our Charlotte dispensary. Delta 8 is the cannabinoid people reach for when they want the euphoria and relaxation of THC at a gentler volume, and this collection covers every common way to take it.

So what is Delta 8? It's one of more than a hundred cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. The plant only makes trace amounts of it, so producers convert it from hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) in a lab, then test the result. You can compare product details and available lab results before you buy, and the brands here are ones we actually like: 3Chi, Urb, Mellow Fellow and Asheville Dispensary.

Pick a format by how fast you want to feel it and how long you want it to last. Delta 8 gummies are the easy starting point: a measured dose with a slow build that lasts. Delta 8 carts screw onto a standard 510-thread battery and come on within minutes. A Delta 8 tincture sits under the tongue for about a minute (or goes into your coffee, we won't judge), and Delta 8 drinks are the crowd-friendly pick when you'd rather sip than smoke. Flavor, format, ingredients and strength all have a part to play, so there's more to this than picking the highest number on the label.

Here in North Carolina, hemp-derived Delta 8 is currently legal to sell, and you'll find the same selection in person at our Charlotte and Matthews shops, where you can see the products up close. Some other states have restricted it, so checkout shows whether we can ship to your address. Have a question first? Our team answers Delta 8 questions all day, in the shop and over email.

FAQs

What is the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9?

The two molecules are nearly identical. One double bond sits in a different position, and that small shift means Delta 8 doesn't bind to the body's CB1 receptors as tightly as Delta 9 THC does. The result is a milder, clearer psychoactive effect that most people describe as noticeably less intense than Delta 9. It still surprises us how much one double bond changes the experience. Comparing the two as edibles? Our Delta 9 gummies guide covers dosage, effects and legality.

Does Delta 8 produce psychoactive effects?

Yes. Expect a mellow euphoria and a relaxed body feel, dialed back from what a comparable Delta 9 dose would do. How strongly it lands depends on your tolerance, your dose and what you ate that day, so start low and go slow, especially with gummies and drinks.

How long does Delta 8 stay in your system?

It depends on how often you use it, how you take it and your own metabolism. As a rough guide, Delta 8 can show up in blood for about 48 hours and in saliva for one to two days. In urine, it's about a week for occasional users and up to 30 days for heavy users, and hair can hold it for up to 90 days. A standard THC screening doesn't tell Delta 8 apart from Delta 9.

Which Delta 8 format works fastest?

Carts. Most people feel inhaled Delta 8 within a few minutes, and it fades within a couple of hours. A tincture held under the tongue is next quickest, typically 15 to 45 minutes. Gummies and drinks take the longest to come on, often 30 to 90 minutes, but they also last the longest, which is why a lot of our regulars prefer them for an evening in.

Is Delta 8 legal in North Carolina?

Delta 8 made from hemp with 0.3% or less Delta 9 THC falls under the 2018 Farm Bill, and North Carolina has not restricted it. That's why we carry it at both of our dispensary locations and ship it from here. Other states have set their own rules, and checkout will tell you whether we can ship a given product to your address.

Finding your favorite starts with a good Buddy. Pick a format, choose a strength that suits you, and shop the full collection to see what fits.
