Delta-8 gummies are chewy, fruit-flavored candies that contain delta-8 THC, a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-8 THC is similar to delta-9 THC, which is a compound in the cannabis plant that produces a high, but it has a different chemical structure and is usually synthetically made. Delta-8 gummies are becoming more popular among consumers who are seeking relaxation and pain relief with less sedative-like qualities than delta-9 THC. Depending on the brand, each gummy may contain 10 to 50 milligrams of delta-8 THC, but because they are not FDA-regulated, it is safest to start with a low dosage, perhaps a portion of a gummy. Manufacturers are packaging and labeling these products in ways that may appeal to children (gummies, chocolates, cookies, candies, etc.), so it is essential to be very careful with delta-8 gummies and other edibles around children, who can easily mistake them for ordinary treats. Delta-8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects, similar to delta-9 THC, and can cause adverse events such as vomiting, hallucinations, trouble standing, and loss of consciousness.
