Is Delta 8 Addictive?

Posted on Dec 19, 2022 By Ian Taylor

The recent rise in popularity of Delta 8 has many people wondering if it's addictive. Delta 8 is one of the analogs of THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. As you know, tetrahydrocannabinol creates a sense of euphoria, but can it be addictive? The answer may surprise you. While Delta 8 does have some effects similar to THC, research suggests that it's much less likely to cause addiction or dependence. However, it's important to note that the body can quickly become accustomed to higher doses of Delta 8, so it's crucial to stay cautious when experimenting with this form of THC. So, how addictive is Delta 8?

What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a cannabinoid derived from the hemp plant. It's closely related to Delta 9 THC, which is commonly known for making you feel high. Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive component of cannabis and it can be quite addictive.

Whereas Delta 9 THC is known to produce a sense of euphoria and frequently evokes feelings of paranoia or anxiousness, Delta 8 has more sedating and calming effects. It's also known to help reduce stress. 

Although Delta 8 hasn't been studied as extensively as Delta 9, it's been gaining increasing popularity in the cannabis world.

Potential benefits

One of the main benefits of Delta 8 is that it's less likely to cause addiction or dependence compared to Delta 9 THC. Additionally, it may be useful for managing pain and inflammation, as well as helping with sleep.

In comparison to Delta 9, Delta 8 is believed to be less intoxicating and less likely to cause anxiety or paranoia. 

It's important to note that the effects of Delta 8 can vary from person to person and can depend on the dose.

Potential risks

As every drug, Delta 8 can cause certain side effects such as:

  • hallucinations, 
  • paranoia, 
  • vomiting, 
  • dizziness, 
  • anxiety,
  • confusion

Therefore, it’s crucial to use it wisely. It also needs to be mentioned that the body can quickly get used to higher doses of Delta 8, which may lead to addiction. Moreover, Delta 9 can interact with some medications, so it's important to talk to your doctor before consuming it.

How addictive is Delta 8?

Is Delta 8 addictive? Yes, it can be addictive when abused. Apart from making us feel relaxed, the drug allows us to escape our everyday problems and worries. It makes it easier not to overthink and unwind after a hard day.

However, when you start relying on Delta 8 THC as the only source of relaxation in your daily life, it can become really addictive. For this reason, it’s worth remembering that it won’t solve your problems and it’s only temporary relief.

Does Delta 8 cause withdrawal?

Knowing how addictive Delta 8 is, it’s time to discuss whether it causes withdrawal. What does it mean? Well, if you were to suddenly stop using Delta 8 and experience physical or psychological symptoms, then it’s likely that you’re going through withdrawal.

The withdrawal symptoms associated with Delta 8 may include:

  • anxiety,
  • headaches,
  • depression,
  • insomnia,
  • nausea,
  • irritability.

If you’re addicted and stop using Delta 8 THC, you can experience mild withdrawal symptoms for around 3-4 days. Keep in mind that the severity of these symptoms can vary from person to person.

The takeaway

Is Delta 8 THC addictive? The drug is one of the analogs of THC and it's less likely to cause addiction or dependence compared to Delta 9 THC. That said, it still has the potential to be addictive when abused, and it can cause physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, it's important to stay cautious use it in moderation.
