I get a lot of sass from my buddies when we’re hanging out and they’re passing a joint while I pass and prefer my Δ8 vape (or gummies).

I used to be right there with them, often bogarting the hell out of it, but ever since I officially became old, I just don’t enjoy getting “stupid” high anymore; I’m such a lightweight these days I can’t even just take a small puff without it being more than I want. I’d much rather have a light head change and still be mostly clear headed.

I’m not a square, just old and happy with my less intense buzz :)

    Definitely the first person I’ve personally seen say that, that’s a long term weed user. I don’t doubt there’s plenty that would agree with you, I just haven’t run into them.

    I tried some cbd oil the my arthritis and such, and it worked okay without any weirdness (I can’t smoke weed, it majorly screws me up in a bad way), so I’ve been thinking about trying D8 to see if it can add to the pain relief factor without messing with me. I’m just gunshy lol. A two hour descent into hell is not something I enjoy, and if the D8 hits me the same as regular weed does, I’d not be happy.

      It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC does, just not as strong/intense and doesn’t last as long. For me, that’s the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it’s a common complaint.

      If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I’ll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.

      I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).

      Please don’t take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.
