The Middle Ground Between CBD and Delta 9
Marcus tried Delta 9 gummies once at a friend’s house and spent two hours convinced his couch was judging him. Too intense. CBD oil helped his knee pain but never touched the stress sitting on his chest every evening after work. Then someone handed him a Delta 8 tincture. Within 20 minutes, his shoulders dropped two inches and his brain stopped replaying that awkward work meeting. Clear-headed. Just…better.
This Canna River Delta 8 tincture packs 1000mg in a 15mL bottle with MCT oil base. It’s not CBD. It’s not full-strength Delta 9. Delta 8 sits in between—mild psychoactive effects without the paranoia or couch-lock some people get from regular THC.
The dropper is marked in milliliters. Most start with 0.5mL under the tongue, hold 30 seconds, swallow. Effects show up 15-30 minutes later if you hold it sublingual. Swallow it straight or mix it in coffee and wait 45-60 minutes.
What’s Inside
- 1000mg Delta 8 THC per 15mL bottle
- MCT oil (coconut-derived carrier)
- Natural (unflavored) or Lemon Raspberry flavor
- Less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC (Farm Bill compliant)
- Third-party lab tested (COAs available)
- Graduated dropper for precise dosing
This product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight.
Two Flavor Options
Lemon Raspberry: Tangy lemon hits first, raspberry sweetness follows. Covers the earthy hemp taste completely. Good for people who take tinctures straight and don’t want that weedy aftertaste.
Natural (Unflavored): Light hemp flavor, nothing added. For people who mix it into morning smoothies or evening tea without changing the drink’s taste. Also good if you just don’t trust artificial flavors.
How People Actually Use This
Sarah takes 0.5mL around 6 PM when she gets home from teaching. Holds it under her tongue while scrolling her phone for 30 seconds. By 6:20, the day’s tension stops sitting on her neck. She cooks dinner without snapping at her kids. Clear enough to help with homework. Relaxed enough to not care about the dishes piling up.
James does a full dropper (1mL) before bed. Says it’s the only thing that quiets his brain enough to sleep without waking up at 3 AM running through tomorrow’s to-do list. He tried melatonin—made him groggy. He tried natural sleep solutions—helped some but not enough. Delta 8 tincture actually works.
Effects last 3-6 hours depending on dose and body chemistry. You won’t feel “high” like Delta 9 makes some people feel. More like your brain’s volume knob got turned down from 11 to 7. You can still function. Still drive if needed. Just…calmer.
Delta 8 vs Delta 9 vs CBD
CBD: Zero psychoactive effects. Good for pain relief and inflammation. Doesn’t touch anxiety or stress for everyone.
Delta 9 THC: Full psychoactive effects. Great for some people. Too intense for others. Can trigger paranoia or anxiety in sensitive users.
Delta 8 THC: Milder psychoactive effects. About 50-70% the strength of Delta 9. Clearer headspace. Less likely to cause anxiety. Still federally legal under Farm Bill.
Think of it like this: CBD is decaf coffee. Delta 9 is a triple espresso. Delta 8 is regular coffee—enough to notice, not enough to make you jittery.
Why Canna River Gets It Right
Lab testing is third-party verified. Every batch has a COA proving potency and purity. No heavy metals, no pesticides, no solvents. Just clean Delta 8 extract in MCT oil.
Price point is fair—$30-40 depending on where you shop. That’s 1000mg for less than premium CBD tinctures that don’t even have psychoactive benefits.
Carolina Hemp Hut stocks both flavors because different people want different things. Staff can help figure out dosing if you’re new. They’ve heard every Delta 8 question twice. Check out the DoorDash partnership if you want same-day delivery in Durham or Hillsborough.
Dosing Guide for First-Timers
Start with 0.25mL if you’ve never tried Delta 8 before. Wait an hour. Feel anything? No? Try 0.5mL next time. Yes? Great, you found your dose.
Most regular users land between 0.5mL and 1mL. That’s roughly 33mg to 66mg of Delta 8 per dose. Heavy users who built tolerance might do 1.5mL or 2mL.
Never start with a full dropper on day one. Delta 8 is milder than Delta 9, but too much too fast still makes some people feel dizzy or nauseous. Start low, go slow, find your spot.
Take it with food if you’re mixing it in drinks or swallowing it straight. Fat helps absorption. Empty stomach works faster but hits harder.
Store it somewhere cool and dark. Not the car in summer. Not the windowsill. Cabinet above the coffee maker works fine.
