Firstly, △8THC (D8) is another type of cannabinoid found in the hemp plant like CBD, CBC, CBG, CBDv, and so on.

• D8 is found in the cannabis plant and has a slightly different “high” effect than Delta-9 THC. 
• The effect that D8 gives is somewhat smaller than the impact of Delta-9 THC.
• Users describe the experience of D8 as a smooth, lucid buzz with no paranoia and a lessening of anxiety.  

The biggest risk of delta-8 THC is that it’s not regulated, which means that safety, purity, and strength can’t be guaranteed.

Then how about the Delta 8 THC Tincture Oil vs. Delta 8 THC vape distillate?

Delta 8 THC and all other cannabinoids are oil soluble. Therefore, to be more effective and more easily absorbed into the bloodstream, the main cannabinoid found in the oil is mixed with a carrier oil. These carrier oils are usually natural and easily digested, such as grape seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, or MCT oil. This type of oil will absorb easily under the tongue and then passes well through the digestive tract once swallowed.

Vape oils are actually not oils at all, and not all vape carts use vape oil. For example, at The Hemp Doctor, we use a D8 distillate with no carrier oil in our vape carts. We believe this provides a cleaner vaping experience and a better taste.

The distillate is a concentrated and purified version of the product — so a Delta 8 distillate is a more pure and potent version of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Distillates are safe to consume in many forms, dab it, vape it, drink it, or wear it. However, creating a D8 distillate is an intense process, which can make the finished product expensive. In addition, when you eat or drink it, because it isn’t bound in a carrier oil, you may not absorb as much of the cannabinoids compared to a tincture.
