• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Delta 8

For a noob, what / how much should I do?? Wife is also a high strung woman and tryna get her to veg with me but also still be able to drink a few IPAs and hopefully reverse cowgirl tits in face later.

D8’s don’t give you the head high, which is the rough part of too much normal THC edibles. In a lot of ways I like delta 8 better as it’s just relaxation and no risk of paranoia. It also means you can start out with more. I’d start with 10mgs for you and 5 for her. Need to give it an hour+ to see how it hits.

Ive found things like alcohol or stimulants mask the D8 high moreso than normal THC so if you get an IPA buzz within that hour you’ll probably want to take more.

@Seagulls hit the nail on the head. I would recommend going big
 
I bought the same brand. I’m not a smoker and have never really tried edibles in the past. I started with a half and it worked well for me. My son-in-law which is an occasional user took a whole one. He said they were legit but a little mild. Takes about an hour to get the full effect.

In the end though, just not a fan of the THC. I would prefer an energetic high. Something that frees the mind.
 
I enjoy them a good bit but also a newbie. I take 1/2 of a 25mg then drink a few beers and take the other 1/2 of the gummy about and hour or two later. Feel Reel Güd
 
Delta 8 is no good imo. I developed a bit of a sleeping problem after chiefing on a Delta vape for a few weeks. As soon as I stopped delta it went away and I sleep fine again. Buzz feels unnatural to me as well. My suggestion, if you're willing to take the plunge with delta 8, locate some good indica bud or edible or however you want to ingest and do that.
