2022-08-08 03:39:01 By : Ms. Purongsports Ruan

If you’re like me…

As soon as you heard about delta-8, you went to your local shop and bought a cartridge (or two).

Just a few hours later, you were already vaping it.

But another few hours later… nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Congratulations! You’ve just been scammed :).

So now you’re coming here, with your tail between your legs…

Asking me − someone who got scammed more than once, an expert on the topic − what are the best delta 8 brands?

And since I’m a nice guy (according to my mom) − I’ll tell you all about the best shops that combine the three S’s…

Safety, Selection, and Super-potent. (Yes, you didn’t see that one coming)

[Spoiler Alert: BudPop’s products are the cream of the crop. Why? I’ll show you why in just a few seconds − don’t be impatient.]

Available products: Flowers | Gummies | Oils | Vape cartridges

BudPop is the Apple of weed products − it’s what all Delta 8 THC brands wish they were, but they’re just no match.

Besides being featured in Forbes and in the esteemed Ministry of Hemp for its phenomenal Delta 8 THC products…

Their products are vegan, non-GMO, third-party lab tested, and USA-made.

And if that weren’t enough − BudPop’s delta 8 products are among the most potent in the cannabis industry, so you can get a good, passmethechips high.

In case you missed it, we just said (literally the previous sentence, you skimmer!) that BudPop stands out by having one of the most potent products. 

Well, for one, the brand sets industry-leading standards with its bio-friendly CO2 extraction process − which helps to harvest Delta 8 THC extract in the most concentrated form.

And for two, all of BudPop’s products are tested by third-party labs − not only for safety but also to guarantee purity. (By the way, you can check lab reports on the company’s website − which speaks volumes about their transparency).

But that’s not all.

BudPop has made its way up the cannabis industry ladder by having a huge selection of delta−8 products − including hemp flowers, cartridge vapes, gummies, and oils.

Be it the aromatic flowers or the mouthwatering Strawberry Gelato gummies; you’ll always have different strains and flavors to choose from.

It’s also worth noting that the vapes are made of high-grade silicone and glass hardware, complemented with smooth oils to help you bid farewell to common vape issues like clogging.

For newbies, we particularly like BudPop’s Which Product is Right For You form, which will have them recommend customized products depending on your specific needs.

The icing on the cake − BudPop is one of the very few companies to provide a 30-day money-back guarantee. While many brands claim they make “high-quality” products, BudPop backs it up with more than words.

Honestly, considering the higher quality and potency of their products, I wasn’t at all surprised when I saw hundreds of customers swearing by BudPop’s products.

Apart from the features we’ve already mentioned, most customers rave about the rapid action and soothing effects they get from their wellness products. A good many also lauded how fast they received their orders.

Just like BudPop, the LA-based Exhale is a household name. It not only has thousands of high customer ratings but it has been featured in the Los Angeles Times and Forbes as well.

Besides sourcing organically-grown hemp from farms in Colorado, the reputable brand uses all-natural ingredients to ensure you receive safe products. In fact, some of their products are even made with only organic ingredients.

To top it all off, Exhale sends its products for third-party lab tests to check for potency and heavy metals and ensure you get top-notch quality and safety. And yes, Exhale is transparent enough to let you readily access the comprehensive third-party lab results from its site.

From the onset, you’ll notice that Exhale has a huge variety of Delta 8 products − saying you have the luxury of choice would be an understatement.

What’s more, Exhale Wellness products are made from full-spectrum hemp − which simply means that they should be more potent and give more potential therapeutic effects.

While experienced users may know where their Delta 8 THC tolerance lies, newer users might not. 

If you don’t want to fly to the moon and never come back…

Then Exhale’s personalized dosage feature will come in handy. Taking into account your age, weight, sex, and Delta 8 goal − you’ll be able to safely enjoy your products without worrying about crossing your tolerance level.

But what we truly love about Exhale… are their delta-8 bundles.

If you can’t decide on a specific strain or flavor, getting a nice 30% off along with a variety of products (such as flowers, pre-rolls, and cigarettes) is a great way to experiment and see what works best for you.

We also like that Exhale gives you more ways to save. Like BudPop, Exhale has free shipping and welcomes you with a 20% discount on your first order.

And as a gauge of quality, the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee − so that you may try their products with your eyes shut.

I knew customer reviews on Exhale were going to be positive, but I didn’t expect That…

You know how sometimes you look for a company you love on Trustpilot, and they have a terrible 2 or 3-star rating?

Well, that’s definitely not the case with Exhale. With its mind-blowing 4.4/5 TrustScore, it has to be one of the best-rated brands in Trustpilot’s history.

Among things that stand out in customer reviews are the effectiveness of their Delta-8 THC products, as well as the reactive and helpful customer support.

Available products: Bundles | Carts | Flowers | Edibles | Concentrates | Disposable vapes | Tinctures

Delta Extrax is praised as one of the most trusted Delta 8 THC companies, and we can see why.

Apart from being featured in Forbes like Exhale and BudPop…

Delta Extrax’s products have also snatched the 1st and 3rd places in the 2022 High Times Hemp Cup − which is basically a contest comparing the top hemp products on the market.

And of course, like other leading brands, Delta Extrax conducts third-party lab testing on all its products.

Like Exhale, Delta Extrax has an extensive range of products − and they offer bundles that can help you save up to 15%.

While the edible catalog isn’t the widest, the company goes all out to see you enjoy the classic OG smoking experience.

Delta Extrax’s flowers and carts come in a medley of flavors, and their Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains should be more than enough to find something that floats your boat.

For new users, Delta Extrax has a comprehensive Delta 8 learning center that you could take advantage of to make informed decisions and avoid purchasing a product that’s not for you.

Again, the online store grants you a 15% discount on your first purchase. And if that weren’t enough, you can also use our coupon code Paradise15 to get an extra 15% off.

And finally, Delta Extrax has speedy shipping times − you should receive your products in as fast as 3 business days and at most 7 days.

You may have noticed we’ve only included the most reputable brands so far, but Delta Extrax is the exception that proves the rule.

With only 6,800+ certified reviews, Delta Extrax is… oh, wait. It looks like it’s not an exception after all :).

Jokes aside, what stands out from customer reviews − apart from the immediate buzz and long-lasting mellow feeling afterward − are the amazing flavors of their edibles and vapes.

Unlike our other picks, Diamond CBD is more of an online store than an actual brand.

On their website, you’ll find tons of popular delta-8 brands such as Chill Plus, 10X, and Alibi.

But what makes them stand out is their frequent sales and discounts, which we’ll talk about in detail below.

Nothing sums Diamond CBD better than one simple (but powerful) word − variety.

Whatever Delta 8 product you can think of, this shop probably has it. Better yet, each product is available in different strengths, sizes, strains, and flavors… so I’d be amazed if you couldn’t find the right product for your needs.

And while you may think “huge product selection = huge headache”…

This reputable brand has done a great job of making the site user-friendly with handy filters.

Among these filters, the one that stands out is definitely the shop by mood one. With it, you can filter products for your desired goal like calm, focus, recovery, buzz, and sleep − and you’ll get a straightforward selection of products that help with that.

For beginners, I’d say it’s hard to find a more convenient feature.

Of course, there are other “common” shopping filters like strength, brand, and price − again, to make finding the right products as easy as possible. And most importantly… to make sure your head doesn’t explode.

And if that weren’t enough, Diamond CBD frequently offers the most affordable price on CBD and hemp products with their deals that can give you up to 70% off.

Continuing this list of the most trusted delta 8 THC brands, you won’t be impressed this time when I tell you Diamond CBD has over 10,000 5-star reviews. After all, that’s the kind of brand you expect from us at this point.

The things that reviewers seem to like most about this brand are the health benefits they have received, such as relaxation, better sleep, anxiety relief, and better mood − just to name a few.

Available products: Edibles | Gummies | Concentrates | Tinctures | Vapes | Focused Blends | Drinks | Oil

3Chi was the first brand to legally sell Delta 8 THC, and the fact they’ve remained at the top of their game ever since is an astounding feat on its own.

In fact, if you check Reddit threads, you’ll notice most people recommend 3Chi to newbies for all things delta-8 − so I’d say their reputation is one of the best in the hemp industry.

Aside from that, 3Chi obviously has its products undergo third-party lab testing.

3Chi’s custom blends have to be its best innovation yet.

Combining other cannabinoids like CBN and THCv, the brand comes up with greatly potent products to give you both the recreational and medicinal rewards of hemp.

I must mention that these products can be very powerful, so you need to play within the recommended dosage to avoid a strong stoned feeling.

Apart from potency, these focused blends are tailored to specific potential benefits like happiness, soothing, focus, calm, and more.

Equally important, the brand tries to make its products very comprehensive. So, like Exhale, 3Chi’s Delta 8 offerings are produced from full-spectrum hemp − which in case you forgot, is supposed to give you stronger effects.

Finally, they offer free shipping on purchases above $99, so it’s something to keep in mind if shipping costs to your state are unusually high.

Just like Diamond CBD, 3Chi customers appear to be elated with the soothing benefits they’ve experienced, such as smoother sleep, chronic pain relief, and anxiety relief − with some even reporting more alertness.

Aside from these potential therapeutic benefits, many reviewers mention the company’s fast shipping as one of the main reasons why they keep coming back for more.

Collaborating with Delta Effex, Active CBD, Koi CBD, and 13 other Delta 8 THC brands… CBD Genesis sees that you don’t run out of the products you’re fond of.

What’s more, CBD Genesis provides a nice balance between high-quality hemp and affordability −  with products being sold at some of the cheapest prices on the market.

CBD Genesis strives to cater to both your health and recreational Delta 8 needs, with a bias towards health.

As a wellness brand, most of its Delta 8 THC products are infused with potential medicinal cannabinoids like CBD and CBG. What this means for you is that their products have a better chance of giving you therapeutic rewards such as stress relief, improved sleep, and an uplifting feel.

While CBD Genesis has its hands on almost every Delta 8 THC product, its cartridges seem to be the face of the brand.

Beating many competitors, CBD Genesis’ potent watermelon and blue raspberry vape juices are thinned out to give a seamless and fast absorption of Delta 8 THC into the body.

Additionally, beginners will appreciate their extensive guides to help them choose the best vape juices for their carts − and, most importantly, to avoid common vape problems.

My only quibble with CBD Genesis is that you can’t cancel an accidental order. That said, you can return unopened deliveries within 14 days for a refund, so that might offset the inconvenience.

As expected, a good many customers say that they love being able to try new products all the time − largely due to the sheer number of brands.

Also, many reviews mention that the delta-8 cartridges are extremely potent − to the point that they seem too good to be delta 8.

While Blue Moon Hemp’s specialty is pure CBD isolate products − meaning, products that contain no THC…

We particularly like their delta-8 products because of their frequent flash sales that allow you to get up to 35% off.

But what makes them stand out is that together with BudPop and Exhale, they offer a hassle-free 1-month trial that only a few customer-oriented brands give.

As quickly mentioned in the intro, Blue Moon Hemp knows a thing or two about CBD − and they use that extensive knowledge to create unique THC and CBD products for specific effects.

In particular, the Space Candy Flower has a balanced dose of 20% D8 and 16% CBD which is supposed to help provide a relaxing effect and elevate your mood without knocking you down.

However, this company trails a bit in product flavors, but overall, clients seem happy with the tropical and fruity flavors of their gummies and carts.

Looking at the brighter side, the brand already has great prices − but they go even further to help you save some hard-earned $$$.

For one, they offer a 35% discount for the military, first responders, EMTs, public government employees, law enforcement, and other eligible people.

For two, when you sign up for their emails, you receive 20% off your next purchase. 

For three, you could also save another 10% with their auto shipping services − which by the way are quite convenient to save time and avoid running out of your favorite products.

And finally, the company also rewards you with a loyalty program, so you can get even more discounts if you’re a frequent customer.

A vast majority of clients pointed out receiving uplifting yet relaxing vibes from their hemp-derived products.

What’s more, I also found a few people that bought the wrong product were pleased that BMH honored their trial period by giving them a full refund.

Moonwlkr is the Picasso of delta-8 products. Its mission: to explore all avenues when it comes to hemp.

Now, I don’t know if they’ll be as rich and famous as our beloved 19th-century painter…

But what I do know is that their custom blends that combine award-winning terpenes with natural flavors kick a** − pardon my French.

Of course, because they’re still scientists instead of paint-throwers (no offense Picasso), Moonwlkr takes strict measures to ensure the safety of its novel products.

From third-party testing its products for pesticides, residual solvents, synthetic additives, harmful chemicals, and heavy metals to using exclusively USA-grown, organic hemp extracts and a myriad of other things that make a difference…

Moonwlkr’s team are artists turned scientists. (Or is it the other way around?)

And in case it wasn’t obvious… Moonwlkr’s name comes from their mission to give you an out-of-the-world experience – both literally and figuratively.

To do so, their custom blends contain other cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, and CBD to increase their effectiveness. As a nice bonus, the products are also visually stunning − with colorful space-themed branding and moon names for all of you who care about these little details.

And if your primary goal is to wind down after a long day − you’ll love that Moonwlkr offers a specific line of nighttime products to help you ease down and get a restful night’s sleep.

You can also create your own bundle. So if you’re the kind of person who can never pick just one thing − then you can put different products into one bundle and even get a bulk discount along with it.

People seem to rave quite a lot about Moonwlkr’s gummies, and with the mouthwatering mango, lime, watermelon, purple punch, and pineapple flavors, we can see why.

Many customers also love the euphoric and sleep-inducing effects they’ve received from using Moonwlkr delta-8 THC products.

So now, we enter the serious, scientific part of this article. This means my bad jokes and I are out − the (boring) scientist in me takes over.

Of course, all the best delta 8 THC brands we’ve selected source their hemp plants locally in the US, most from hemp plant farms across Nevada, Colorado, Kentucky, and more.

But do you know why?

Well, it turns out that having local cannabis plant sources is the only way to have full control over the manufacturing process − and therefore, to employ sustainable farming methods and high-quality hemp processing techniques. All this, of course, is to get pure hemp plants to then deliver the highest-quality products.

We stuck to shortlisting established brands that offer third-party lab testing for their organic hemp extracts and products. Additionally, we gave an edge to companies that made their lab tests easy to access and as comprehensive as possible.

Also, on safety, all companies here sell federally legal Delta 8 THC products. That is, the products sold by these brands have 0.3% or less THC, so you should avoid the potential side effects that come with weed.

When writing these reviews, we ask ourselves − “WWORW?”.

What Would Our Readers Want?

And, of course, one of the first things that come to mind is choice.

Therefore, not only did we select the widest product selection − but we also made sure that brands offering the largest selection of strengths, sizes, strains, and flavors were ranked higher − so you could (hopefully) find something within your alley.

We made sure to pick only those brands that provide highly potent products for medicinal and recreational purposes.

While at it, we also gave an advantage to brands that offered different potency ranges to serve both customers with high tolerance and those just starting out on their Delta 8 THC journey.

In line with making sure you get your money’s worth…

We made sure that brands offering hassle-free satisfaction guarantees were ranked higher. 

And for companies that didn’t have a clear-cut money-back guarantee, we made sure that they had favorable return policies − so you can at least get a reshipment or refund in case there’s an issue.

BudPop, Exhale Wellness, and Delta Extrax are legit delta-8 brands. 

To put it simply, Delta-8 brands that comply with the farm bill are legit.

The 2018 Farm Bill outlines that all Delta-8 products sold in the country need to contain less than 0.3% THC, and all the best delta 8 THC brands we’ve recommended above meet this requirement.

Additionally, before making a purchase, you can read a product’s ingredient list or lab reports to see the THC content.

BudPop is the most potent brand of Delta-8, according to customer reviews.

In KA9791’s words (what kind of username is that?), “The recommended dosage on the container says 1 every 6 hours!!! I would be truly F’ed if I did that.[…] I took 1 gummy and was messed up for almost 24 hrs.”

Yes, Delta 8 will get you high because it is a psychoactive cannabinoid, which means it can affect how the brain works.

However, since Delta 8 THC is a more subtle cannabinoid than Delta 9 (regular weed), the “high” will be mild, and there shouldn’t be any side effects.

Yes, Delta 8 can make you laugh. Euphoria, or a feeling of happiness, is one of the possible effects of Delta 8 THC, so you might find yourself easing up and laughing more often. 

However, people react to Delta 8 differently, so your mileage may vary.

Yes, delta 8 can make you fail a drug test. This is because standard drug tests generally don’t differentiate between delta 8 and delta 9 THC, as the two are so similar.

In other words − if you know you’ll have to take a test, you should avoid consuming delta 8 products 4 weeks prior.

Yes, Delta 8 dabs are very strong. 

Dabs are made of Delta 8 THC concentrates with about 93% of Delta 8, and that’s pretty potent.

Still, as a newer user, you can look up the recommended dosage from your Delta 8 brand and see how many dabs you can consume comfortably.

You got to the end, and unless you skimmed all the way through, you even got to see the two sides of my personality.

(But you probably missed it, ’cause I know you’re a naughty skimmer − boo!)

Anyway − now, you’re all set to have your first fulfilling Delta 8 experience. All that’s left is to choose the brand that speaks most to you.

What can I say − all these Delta 8 companies pull their weight and live up to their brand reputation.

But in the grand scheme of things, BudPop snatches our top spot. This premium brand has the most potent federally-legal products in the cannabis market and backs up its promises with a money-back guarantee.

That said, Exhale Wellness and Delta Extrax closely follow as other high-rated brands and amazing options for premium Delta 8 THC products.

Whichever brand you choose, please be sure to start with a low dosage and work your way up. Also, always follow the brand’s dosage recommendations.

There, you have it − my non-liability disclaimer right there in case you misbehave. 😉

Delta say I didn’t warn you. (OK, I’m out of here)
