Can You Drive After Taking Delta 8?

Posted on Feb 27, 2023 By Walker Wilkerson

Delta 8 THC is a derivative of hemp that has a similar molecular structure to Delta 9 THC. However, it’s less psychoactive and produces a more delicate high, which makes many people wonder if they can drive after consuming it. Despite being milder, Delta 8 can still cause some side effects and have a negative impact on your cognition and behavior. So, can you drive after smoking Delta 8?

What is Delta 8 THC?

As it’s already been mentioned, Delta 8 THC is a type of cannabinoid commonly found in hemp. It’s considered to be a legal form of THC under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Unlike Delta 9 THC, which is the primary psychoactive compound found in marijuana, Delta 8 THC has a lower psychotropic potency and is therefore less likely to produce a strong high. This means that it can provide the benefits of THC without the extremely intense psychoactive effects.

Taking into account the impact the substance has on human bodies, many people are wondering if it’s safe to perform certain activities such as operating a vehicle after taking Delta 8.

So, can you drive after smoking Delta 8? Let’s find out.

Driving after Delta 8 – is it possible?

Are you wondering whether you can drive after taking Delta 8? Well, it depends. Even though this hemp derivative is considered to be less psychoactive than Delta 9 THC, it can still have some impact on your ability to drive. The effects of Delta 8 THC can vary depending on the individual, the dose, and the method of consumption.

Delta 8 THC can affect you in a number of ways, causing various side effects like drowsiness, fatigue, or a decrease in reaction time.

These effects can last for several hours and can potentially impact your ability to drive safely. Consequently, it’s better to avoid such activities after smoking or taking Delta 8 products.

How long after taking Delta 8 can you drive?

Since you already know that driving after taking Delta 8 isn’t the best idea, it’s time to learn how long you’ll have to wait to operate a vehicle safely.

The length of time it takes for the effects of Delta 8 THC to wear off can vary depending on the individual, consumed products, dose and many other elements. However, on average, the effects of Delta 8 THC can last for many hours, so it’s recommended to wait at least 4–6 hours after taking Delta 8 THC before driving.

The takeaway

Can you drive after taking Delta 8? Although this hemp derivative is milder than Delta 9, it can decrease your ability to drive safely. For this reason, it’s better not to drive after taking Delta 8 THC or waiting a few hours until the effects have worn off.

Remember that driving under the influence of any substance that may impair your ability to drive is illegal and can have serious consequences.
