Is It Safe To Take Delta Gummies Even On Meds?

Delta-8 THC, also known as Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabinoid, is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in small traces in cannabis (marijuana) and hemp plants. Products made from Delta-8 THC, such as delta gummies, are on the rise. You can find them easily in convenience stores, online stores, and boutique weed dispensaries.

Delta-8 THC is much similar to its well-known cousin, Delta-9 THC—the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana responsible for giving you the high feeling. Delta-8 THC behaves much like Delta-9 THC as it produces the same euphoric, fuzzy feeling. The only difference is that Delta-8 THC causes a milder high—this is why Delta-8 is often referred to as “diet weed” or “marijuana-lite.”

Unlike smoking, taking delta gummies containing Delta-8 THC is safe for a healthy person. But what if you are sick and you are on meds? Can you take Delta gummies? Continue reading to find out if you can Delta gummies while on meds. 

Can I take delta gummies while on meds?

There’s a lack of research and evidence about Delta-8 gummies or Delta-8’s impact on your overall health. However, many people have reported taking Delta-8 products such as Delta gummies along with their prescriptions or medications to help with substance use and depression. 

Many Delta-8 users say that Delta-8 products (Delta Gummies) can:

• Calm nausea

• Ease pain relief 

• Prevent vomiting during cancer treatments

• Boost appetite 

• Boost mental health

Since there’s a lack of research and evidence to back up these claims, many experts consider those benefits as just word of mouth. While some also believe that they are not completely risk-free.

Some of the reported side effects after taking Delta-8 THC products include:

• Confusion 

• Drowsiness 

• Numbness

• Low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Anxiety

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)

• Fast heart rate (tachycardia)

Hence, if you already take Delta gummies without any side effects, then just like other Delta-8 users. In that case, you should be able to take them along with your medications. However, if you don’t take them or are new to Delta Gummies, you can hold until you are off meds before taking them.

Finally, if you take Delta gummies, candies, or any other Delta-8 product and notice any of the side effects mentioned above, tell your doctor immediately. In the case of an emergency, you can head to the nearest hospital or call 911.

Where can I buy delta gummies?

You can buy Delta gummies and other Delta-8 products over the counter at convenience stores, weed and vape shops, gas stations, and online stores (like everydaydelta.com). Asides from Delta gummies, the Delta-8 products you’ll in those stores or shops are often sold as candies, oils, edibles, beverages, vaping pens, tinctures, or joints.

However, one thing you should note while purchasing these products is that no quality control is done on the products and their ingredients lists. 

As a final note, when purchasing Delta-8 products, be careful not to confuse Delta-8 products for CBD products, which don’t give a high feeling.
