Beginner Mistakes to Avoid When Trying Delta 8 For the First Time

 

When trying anything new, there are bound to be some beginner pitfalls. This is particularly true when experimenting with powerful cannabinoids, where any mistake is often magnified. In the interest of ensuring your first delta 8 experience is a positive one, here are the most common mistakes first time delta 8 users face, and, more importantly, how to avoid them.

 

Starting Too Strong

Whether it be cannabis or delta 8, the most costly beginner mistake is taking too much, too quickly. Nothing will stain an initial experience quite like feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable, both of which will almost certainly happen if you start with too high a dose.

In the interest of avoiding those unpleasant sensations, beginning users should make sure to start with a small amount and wait an appropriate amount of time before taking more. For example, the effects of edibles typically take between 60 and 90 minutes to fully kick in.

Beginners regularly make the mistake of upping their dose during that time, claiming to not feel anything. Suddenly, several hours later, they find themselves fully overwhelmed by the sensations.

Start small, and give your body plenty of time to adjust before adding doses. For beginners, it’s recommended to start with vape cartridges or tinctures, the effects of which will kick in almost immediately. This makes it far easier to accurately judge how you might react to the initial dose, and will allow you to more accurately take more as needed. 

 

Trying Only One Type of Product 

The other most common beginner mistake occurs when a new user tries one type of product and assumes that it covers the entirety of the delta 8 experience. The reality is that the effects of delta 8 vary between product types due to differences in absorption and potency. 

The largest of these gaps exists between edibles and the rest of the products. The experience provided is going to be fundamentally different from vape carts, tinctures, or any other product.

When trying delta 8 for the first couple of times, be sure to try two products at minimum at different times over the course of several sessions. Note that newer users shouldn’t mix products in a session. Rather, you should try one product for one session and another one in the another. Vape carts are an ideal product for new users thanks to their fast-acting and uplifting effects. From there, you should branch to edibles or tinctures, depending on your preferences. This is the only way to truly experience the range of delta 8 effects, and will help you get a much more well-rounded view of the THC.

 

Finding the Right Sources 

Finally, it is vital as a first-time user that you find the right sources. Not all delta 8 products are made equal, and some companies simply do it better. 3CHI is one such company. Not only is 3CHI the most popular supplier of delta 8 products, but it was the first in the country to offer federally legal THC.
