How is Delta 9 anyhow? I'm not too experienced with weed, so I don't know how it differs.

Granted I have very little experience with old fashioned cannabis derived THC, but Hemp derived D9 does the job well. An effective dose for me is about 20mg at 260lbs especially if I take it before a meal (as opposed to after).

I actually prefer D8 personally with an effective dose of 40mg. Feels much less fuzzy which allows me focus and enjoy movies or games like they're brand new even if I've seen them 100 times.

Unfortunately my local smoke shop is choosing to only stock D9 because it's "real" so my dwindling supply gets much less attention than I'd like.

Check r/delta8 for recs on good brands you can order online. Personally I like Delta Farms, 3Chi, and Nature’s Purpose.

I'll check that out. For some reason the idea of ordering the devils lettuce across state borders via mail is still mind boggling to me.

Some states have banned delta 8 but sounds like that’s not you since you have local shops selling! And the three brands I mentioned are reputable with their COAs. Before I moved to a state with legal recreational cannabis I ordered my D8 from those 3 places I mentioned. Hell, I still often prefer the D8 and D9 gummies I order online to anything local dispensaries sell.
