Shoppers usually ask the same things: Which product type fits my day. How much should I take. Will it make me feel too high. This guide answers those questions for each child category under THC Products so you can choose faster, dose smarter, and avoid low-quality items.
Fast chooser: onset, duration, and key cautions
| Category (your child pages) | Typical onset | Typical duration | When it fits best | Key cautions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THC-A Exotic Flower | Minutes when smoked or vaped | 1–3 hours | Classic flower experience with high THCA that converts to THC when heated | Legal status varies by state; THCA decarbs to THC with heat; always check COA and state rules. |
| Delta-8 THC Flowers | Minutes | 1–3 hours | Milder vibe vs many delta-9 batches | Many delta-8 flowers are infused hemp; verify COA and reputable manufacturing. |
| Delta-9 THC Edibles | 30–120 min to feel peak ~3 h | 4–12 hours | Long, steady effects, nights in, sleep | Start low to avoid “dose stacking”; wait the full window before redosing. PMC |
| Delta-8 THC Edibles | 30–120 min | 4–8+ hours | Similar to above but often gentler feel | Extra caution with kids and pets; FDA has flagged adverse events from mislabeled delta-8 foods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+1 |
| Delta-8 THC Vapes | Minutes | 1–3 hours | Fast, controllable puffs | Quality of oil and hardware matters; use products with current COAs. PMC |
| Delta-8 THC Tinctures | 15–45 min sublingual | 2–4 hours | Discreet, measurable dosing | Hold under tongue 30–60 s; start around 2.5–5 mg THC equivalent. |
| Delta-9 THC Topicals | Local onset | Local duration (up to ~6 h) | Targeted, non-intoxicating local use | Topicals typically do not get you high; transdermal patches can. |
THCA Exotic Flower: what it is and how to shop
What it is: High-THCA hemp flower that looks like traditional marijuana. When heated, THCA decarboxylates into THC, so effects can feel like delta-9 flower. Laws vary and are evolving, so check state rules and buy only with current lab reports.
Buyer checklist
-
Verify total THC on COA and harvest date
-
Confirm state compliance for THCA products
-
Keep portions small until you know the batch
Delta-8 THC Flowers: know the process
Most “delta-8 flower” is hemp flower infused with delta-8 distillate. Effects are commonly described as milder than many delta-9 batches, but quality varies by infusion method and oil purity. Always shop by COA, ingredients, and brand transparency.
Pro tips
-
Look for even infusion, no dripping or excessive stickiness
-
Avoid products without residual-solvent and heavy-metal tests
Delta-9 THC Edibles: dosing that avoids mistakes
Edibles take time. Peak effects can arrive around 3 hours, and can last 4–12 hours. The most common error is taking more before the first dose peaks. Start low and wait.
Practical ranges (not medical advice)
-
Micro: 1–2.5 mg THC
-
Beginner: 2.5–5 mg
-
Moderate: 5–10 mg
-
Experienced: 10 mg+ only if you know your response
Public health guides and pharmacist explainers align on ~5 mg as a standard research unit and a safe starting point for many adults.
Delta-8 THC Edibles: extra safety notes
Delta-8 edibles follow the same timing pattern as delta-9 but are often described as gentler. That said, kids and pets are at risk if products look like snacks. The FDA has logged hundreds of adverse event reports tied to delta-8 foods. Store securely and buy only from brands with current COAs and plain packaging. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+1
Delta-8 THC Vapes: fast in, easy to titrate
Inhalation delivers cannabinoids quickly, which is why vapes are popular for small, repeatable puffs. Choose brands that publish contaminant testing and use reliable hardware.
Use tips
-
One short puff, then wait a few minutes
-
Keep temperatures modest to protect terpenes
-
If taste is burnt, lower the wattage or replace the cart
Delta-8 THC Tinctures: controlled, discreet dosing
Sublingual use can feel faster than swallowing. Hold under the tongue 30–60 seconds for quicker uptake, then swallow. Many guides suggest 2.5–5 mg to start, then step up slowly.
Label checks
-
mg per drop and per ml
-
carrier oil, flavorings, allergens
-
batch number and date on bottle
Delta-9 THC Topicals: local effect, not a head high
Topicals work on local receptors in the skin and are unlikely to be intoxicating because they generally do not reach the bloodstream. Transdermal patches are the exception and can be psychoactive.
Smart usage
-
Apply to clean, dry skin
-
Reapply as directed, usually every few hours
-
Keep away from eyes and open skin
How to read a COA in 30 seconds
-
Cannabinoids: THC per serving and per package
-
Terpenes: profile and totals listed
-
Contaminants: residual solvents, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins should be “ND” or below limits
-
Match the batch: QR code or batch number on the box should match the PDF
If there is no COA, skip the product. It is the simplest safety filter.
Responsible-use reminders
-
Start with the lowest practical dose, wait the full onset window
-
Keep all THC products locked away from kids and pets
-
Do not combine with alcohol or sedatives
-
Know your state law; policy on intoxicating hemp is changing in several states, and federal agencies continue enforcement on unsafe marketing. U.S. Food and Drug Administration
