Will Delta 8 THC Give You Energy?

Did you know that delta 8 THC is known for many things, including its mildly psychoactive high, its soothing properties, its ability to ease discomfort, and its impressive neuroprotective effects? But, we never hear about delta8’s effects on energy levels. We know that a lot of cannabinoids out there have the potential to boost energy, including CBD, CBG, and delta 10 THC. But, what about delta 8 then?

What Delta 8 THC May Do for Energy Levels

Essentially, delta 8 THC is actually not a cannabinoid known for boosting energy. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. A lot of people use delta 8 specifically to mellow out after a long day, or to even make bedtime easier. Not to bore you with a history lesson, but this cannabinoid was discovered back in 1965, and since then, there has been a lot of research on its effects, and yet, has there been any discovery that delta-8 can enhance energy levels.

Delta 8 THC’s known properties include the potential to alleviate:

• Nausea
• Physical discomfort
• Inflammation
• Anxiety
• Neurological dysregulation
• Low mood

Also, delta 8 is known for boosting appetite and potentially helping a person sleep.

As you can see, these effects don’t really mention anything that could have to do with our energy levels, and mostly point to the cannabinoid acting as more of a soothing agent for body and mind. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t derive energy-enhancing effects from delta 8 THC.

Finding a More Energizing Delta 8 Product

Again, although delta 8 THC alone is unlikely to give you a boost of energy, certain delta 8 products can. There are all kinds of products on the market that promote different effects based on the other hemp compounds that are in them, as well as other ingredients altogether.

#1: Type of Strain

Delta 8 products come in different strains, based on their terpene profiles. If you want to feel energized, then you don’t want to reach for an indica or an indica-dominant hybrid, which contain high levels of myrcene, a calming agent. Instead, you want a sativa or a sativa-dominant hybrid, which contains high levels of terpenes known for offering an uplifting boost. Some sativas are more energizing than others, and you can research what’s available to see which ones will give you the most powerful results in that department.

#2: Those Other Cannabinoids

Some delta 8 products contain other hemp cannabinoids that have more boosting qualities, which work synergistically with delta 8 to increase the level of energy you feel. Delta 10, for instance, is known as being more sativa-like by motivating a person, increasing their alertness and giving them more concentration abilities. Mixing delta 8 and delta 10 together could potentially increase your energy.

#3: Other Active Ingredients

Some companies put active ingredients in their delta 8 products, like certain herbs and vitamins that can enhance energy. This includes vitamins D3 and B12, both of which can give a person more alertness and motivation during the daytime, as well as herbs like ginseng which stimulate mental activity. Read through the ingredients of a delta 8 product to see what other active ingredients may be in there that can impact your energy levels.

#4: Dosage

Delta8’s effects are very dose-dependent. And, the effects for which you derive from specific doses, can be unique for everyone based on their CB1 receptors found in the cognitive centers of the brain. Some people find that 10mg of delta-8 gives them a boost, and 25mg puts them to bed. Others find that they have the opposite results. Just experiment with different dosage amounts and you could be surprised by the results.

#5: Product Type/Delivery Method

Of course, there are different delta 8 products/methods for how this cannabinoid absorbs into the body to take effect. And, different delivery methods can have different results. Again, this can be totally unique for each user. Some people find that powerful, fast-acting vapes give them a boost, and edibles create a sense of heaviness in the muscles that makes them feel tired. Others find that delta 8 vapes get them sleepy, and edibles help them feel more alert and active. It all comes back to being open to experimentation.

Overall, Delta 8 THC is Simply Noy Known for Its Energy-Boosting Abilities.

Thanks to today’s diverse hemp market, you can still find products that contain delta 8 while having the potential to offer a more stimulating effect. It’s a matter of finding the right strain, dosage amount, product type and formula, and exploring all kinds of products out there since each one can truly affect you differently. At the same time, you can take advantage of the more easing effects of delta 8 at nighttime, when you’re looking for an easy way to mellow out while maintaining a focused and clear-minded high.

Note: Before taking any type of delta 8 product, you should initially have a conversation with your doctor. Especially, if you’re currently on any prescription medications. Your physician has access to your medical records and can therefore, make a proper determination if delta 8 THC is an option for you to have as part of your daily routine.
