Delta 8 THC Flower

Delta 8 Flower is a combination of hemp flower and Delta 8 THC. They’re separate because Delta-8 THC is a naturally derived minor cannabinoid derived from hemp. However, it is present in all cannabis plants in trace amounts. The extraction process allows delta 8 distillate to come to life.

Concerning Delta 9 THC, Delta-8 THC is 60 percent as potent. It is one of the 140 cannabinoids that interact with the endocannabinoid system (or ECS). This still-mysterious system is a highway of receptors that have a hand in our bodies’ vital systems.

Delta-8 THC Flower is a hemp flower with Delta-8 THC infused. CBD is present in hemp flower in large amounts, so most Delta 8 flower will have a measurable ratio of CBD to THC. ATLRx sources premium indoor-grown hemp rather than outdoor-grown industrial-grade hemp. The close-knit and mass breeding of hemp takes a toll on its quality. Industrial hemp is grown in large quantities, close together, and does not receive adequate care. The process ultimately hurts the quality of the flower. It’s the race to quantity over quality. ATLRx’s premium Delta-8 THC flower lets you see and smell the time and love put into the crop. ATLRx works with only premium farms in Colorado, Oregon, and Northern California.

ATLRx uses the purest form of Delta-8 THC distillate, which is extracted using the CO2 and ethanol methods. Distillate is the same thick liquid that you’d find in a cartridge. The distillate is frozen using dry ice and then ground into a powder. The powdered distillate blankets the hemp flowers; from there, it is rolled or sifted into Delta-8 THC-infused kief. Kief is the leftover resin from the cannabis plant’s trichomes that often falls off during trimming. This process is repeated to create the beautiful nuggets you see on the market today.

Yes, testing Delta 8 THC flower for THC will result in a positive test for THC.

Generally, a strong flower is between 15% and 25% Delta-8 THC. Pushing the potency higher usually results in visual disturbances with the bud—it begins to look “wet.” Moon rocks are a different type of Delta-8 THC flower that challenges these limits, whereby many layers of distillate and kief are used to build up a thick coating on the outside of a bud, which distorts the appearance of the bud from what you’re used to seeing to usually a round or irregularly shaped mass with a nug in the center. Moon Rocks can sometimes contain up to 50% Delta 8 THC.

No, Delta 8 Hemp Flower is made through a multi-step process in which premium hemp flower is coated multiple times in Delta 8 distillate oil and Delta 8-infused kief. You cannot grow hemp that produces large amounts of Delta-8 THC; it is made using an infusion method.

Since Delta-8 THC Flower is just hemp flower infused with Delta-8 THC, Delta-8 Flower contains the same terpene profile as the starting strain provides. These terpenes vary from strain to strain but are responsible for the smell of these flowers. Sometimes terpenes are infused into the bud along with Delta-8 THC to enhance the aroma of the flower.

All Delta 8 flowers start as hemp flowers. To get the final product, we start with high-quality, indoor-grown CBD flowers. The base flower is taken and becomes coated in Delta-8 distillate. ATLRx tests for and rejects products with pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents. To apply the distillate to the flower, we freeze and powderize it. Once powdered, the distillate gets used to coat the buds. After thoroughly coating it, the hemp flower must return to room temperature before it is rolled or sifted with a layer of kief.

Yes, but you probably shouldn’t. This is one of those “proceed at your own risk” things. While Delta-8 THC is federally legal, and flying to and from Georgia with hemp flowers is permitted, we do not recommend flying with open containers or bags of hemp flowers as they can be easily mistaken for marijuana. If you choose to fly with hemp, always be able to explain the difference between hemp and marijuana, and have access to the lab report associated with the product in question. The laws on Delta 8 THC vary from state to state, so please check the state laws in your local area. You may not break any laws when you take off, but you might when you land, depending on where you are going. We also do not recommend leaving the country with Delta-8 Flower, as the Federal Farm Bill only applies to the United States and its territories.

No, unlike marijuana, Delta-8 flowers do not require a decarboxylase. Due to the application process used to make Delta 8 flower, decarboxylation and heating the flower will hurt the THC content, not enhance it. Decarb is another word for decarboxylation, the method of heating cannabis flowers to convert THCa to THC. Since the distillate process already activates the THC, there is no need to decarb the Delta-8 THC flower.

Delta 8 is made from the CBD naturally occurring in hemp flowers. Our Delta 8 distillate is tested from the start for heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents, so there is nothing funny about the end product. Delta 8 is considered a naturally occurring isomer. However, all of the Delta-8 THC you see on the market is lab-derived from CBD, which is naturally extracted from the plant. The word synthetic implies something man-made from man-made ingredients. Delta-8 THC, while made in a lab, is derived, not synthesized, from naturally occurring compounds.

Yes, Delta 8 flowers can be shipped. In the United States, it is federally legal and can be sent to most states. The laws vary depending on the state, so please check your local restrictions. Delta 8 flowers are available on our website and in person at one of our retail locations. Vape products cannot be shipped due to the PACT Act.

Yes, ATLRx flowers are tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents; we cannot speak for the other guys. All our flowers are tested to show the precise CBD and Delta-8 THC amounts in each strain. This makes it easy for you, the customer, to know what you are getting.

Delta 8 flower is mostly illegal in states that have legalized marijuana and a handful of others. Delta 8 flower is taxed like retail sales, whereas marijuana has anywhere from 20–40% extra in taxes, so these state governments simply make more money letting their farmers grow and sell marijuana than hemp. Once state governments figure out how to effectively tax and regulate hemp, we may see some laws change. Please know and follow all local and state laws for your area.

Technically, they’re both hemp flowers. However, Delta-8 hemp flower contains appreciable amounts of THC instead of CBD hemp flower, which does not—both are rich in CBD. One just has Delta-8 THC infused.

Yes, you can! When working with Delta 8 hemp flower, there will always be a percentage of CBD within it. That is because the starting material is hemp flower, which is CBD-rich. Making Delta 8 flowers is based on applying Delta 8 distillate and infused kief to pre-existing hemp flowers. Depending on your chosen strain, CBD and Delta-8 THC will have varying percentages. We have strains that have up to twice as much Delta 8 as CBD and twice as much CBD as Delta 8.

No! Keep all THC products away from pets.

Yes, that’s the short answer. As it is a psychoactive substance similar to delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC can cause a high in the body, no matter the delivery method. However, if you’re new to this cannabinoid, it’s important to point out that the high caused by delta-8 THC will be as potent as that produced by our standard delta-9 THC.

Delta-8 THC is a great alternative for those looking to try the effects of cannabis without being concerned about an extremely powerful high.

No, unlike CBD, a psychoactive effect will be produced in the body by delta-8-THC. These effects are similar to those of delta-9-THC, the popular chemical compound found in cannabis, but they will be more subtle. Delta-8-THC is the isomer of delta-9-THC.

There is no regulation regarding the minimum age for purchasing Delta-8-THC products. However, some states have mandated that buyers be at least 18 years old to purchase. All this said, you should be 18 years of age or older to purchase offline and online products in most cases.

Simply put, Delta-8 THC is made by way of a chemical reaction. The unique process is called isomerization and is done by extracting CBD from hemp plants and converting it into Delta-8 THC. 

With any burgeoning industry comes the need to be selective when purchasing quality Delta 8 products. Several products are available on the market, so it’s important to find one that’s not only pure but also lab-tested and trustworthy. Reputable companies can and will provide consumers with all the necessary information and verify their quality and potency.

There are many ways to do it. Some simple ways to smoke delta-8 flowers are to purchase and smoke pre-rolls or grind up delta-8 flower and smoke them in a joint, pipe, or bong.

While Delta-8 THC has a longer shelf life compared to other cannabinoids (up to 2 years), keep in mind that to maintain its potency and freshness, you’ll want to store it properly. We suggest keeping it away from direct sunlight and flammable products in a cool, dark place or container. Failure to properly store Delta 8 flowers may cause cannabinoid degradation, which decreases their flavor, potency, and effectiveness.

All in all, the type of flower grown will determine its overall quality. Before buying delta-8 flowers, we suggest you check to see if the “said company” uses sustainable practices and provides a certificate of analysis for each of their products.

CBD, THC, and Delta-8 THC flower will provide a different experience. Firstly, you should note that CBD is non-psychoactive and different from delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC. When taken, it will not make you high, which is probably why many people seek out the cannabinoid—it’s not commonly used for recreational purposes like delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC. While Delta-8 is a less potent psychoactive cannabinoid than delta-9 THC, consuming the cannabinoid in the form of a flower will cause a subtle high.
