Delta 8 Shatter
Our Δ8 Shatter is infused with full spectrum botanical terpenes. Each terpene variety is made up of over 100 individual terpenes giving the user a mild psychoactive effect without paranoia or anxiety.
This shatter is best consumed off a dab rig or an electronic nail. At 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the Δ8 shatter behaves just like regular Δ9 shatter. As the temperature increases (around 77 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) , the consistency becomes much more similar to high viscosity Δ8 distillate. This is still a dabbable product, but it will not be exactly like a traditional Δ9 shatter.

What Is Delta-8-THC?
Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8-THC) is the chemical compound found in hemp and cannabis plants, although only in trace amounts. Unlike cannabidiol (CBD), ∆8THC has psychoactive properties. In other words, it's what gets you high.
When people talk about THC, they're usually referring to Delta-9-THC. Delta 8 and Delta 9 have structural similarities, but they differ in terms of potency. For example, Delta-8-THC and its counterpart Delta-9-THC offer consumers a blissful "high" sensation, but Delta-8 is milder. As a result, many report the effects are more favorable with Delta-8-THC products, and people refer to ∆8THC as "diet weed" or "marijuana lite" for this reason.
Even though it's not as potent as Delta 9, Delta-8-THC is still effective and popular. Customers have many ways to purchase a ∆8THC vape pen. Convenience stores, online stores, and dispensaries sell them. And because many states do not regulate ∆8THC, they are easily accessible.
What is Delta 8 Shatter?
Before we can explain D8 shatter, you'll need some background information on marijuana, cannabis, and THC. Delta 9 THC is one of many compounds in marijuana and is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid that makes you feel "high" or euphoric. Delta 8 THC is an isomer of delta 9, and while they have a similar molecular structure, they bond differently to your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Delta 8 THC doesn't have the same psychoactive effects as delta 9, although it is still psychoactive. Instead, it often makes users feel more relaxed, still "high" but without the paranoia associated with delta 9 THC. It may provide similar effects to delta-9 regarding health and wellness benefits but without the unwanted feelings of anxiety, paranoia, etc.
Delta 8 THC products come in concentrate, distillate, wax dabs, oil, shatter, and other forms. When it's in shatter form, delta 8 THC is semi-transparent with a slight amber color. THC shatter is often brittle and often has jagged edges like broken glass. Delta 8 Shatter is slightly different and doesn't become brittle like delta-9 shatter. Instead, it is softer, and the best method of using delta-8 shatter is with a dab rig or vaporizer.
How to Use Delta 8 Shatter
One of the reasons delta 8 THC shatter is such an excellent product for consumers is its versatility. You can choose your personal preference from several different options, such as:
- Dab Rig: One of the best ways to enjoy the superior potency and smooth, pure flavor of delta-8 shatter is with a dab rig, which looks similar to a bong. You heat a "nail" and use it to vaporize a piece of shatter, then inhale the resulting vapor through a glass piece.
- Smoking Flower: You can also sprinkle delta 8 THC shatter into your joints, over a bowl, or in a bong. Shatter also pairs nicely with hemp flower that contains CBG or CBD.
- Dab Pen: Dab pens are a convenient and discreet way to enjoy your delta 8 THC shatter and are essentially just a smaller, more portable alternative to an entire dab rig.
- Edibles: While it's technically possible to add delta-8 shatter to edibles, it's not the best or more efficient way of utilizing it. To make edibles, you can purchase other, more suitable types of delta-8 THC, like delta-8 distillate.
Delta 8 Shatter vs. Our Other Cannabis Concentrates
Both the cannabis plant and the hemp plant contain cannabinoids (like delta 8 THC) which we can extract using various techniques. The specific form depends on the extraction technique we use. However, delta 8 THC shatter and other products like crumble, tincture, oil, distillate, and wax fall under the concentrates category.
We process the hemp plant through extraction and distillation to isolate the specific cannabinoid we want and remove everything else, like extraneous plant matter, other cannabinoids, and any contaminants. The resulting product is concentrated and has a very high potency, up to 99%. Then, we add terpenes to enhance its flavor and effect. Finally, we ensure every concentrate we offer is clean, pure, and of superior quality.
In addition to our delta 8 THC shatter, we offer our customers additional types of concentrates, like our Delta 8 Diamonds, Delta 8 Moon Rocks, Delta 8 Crumble, Delta 8 Distillate Sauce, and Distillate Syringes.
Using the Extraction Process to Get Delta 8 THC from the Hemp Plant
Creating and extracting delta-8 shatter from the hemp and cannabis plants would be time-consuming. So instead, delta 8 THC is produced through a process called isomerization:
- We extract the desired cannabinoids from the hemp plant, using heat and pressure to create a CBD distillate.
- We use an isomerization process to convert the CBD into delta 8 THC. Once we have delta-8 distillate, we infuse the distillate with terpenes for a natural flavor and enticing aroma.
- Adding terpenes helps our delta 8 THC shatter stimulate the entourage effect to maximize the strength of the cannabinoids.
After that, we let the delta-8 sit, and it eventually stabilizes and becomes a sheet of highly concentrated shatter.
Does Delta 8 THC Shatter Show Up on a Drug Test?
Many of our clients want to know if they could fail a drug test after taking delta 8 THC shatter. First, a quick note: hemp is completely legal at the federal level. But whether compounds like delta 8 THC (i.e., shatter, wax, concentrate, etc.) are legal lies within each state.
Delta 8 THC products have been on the market since 2018, and most people can legally purchase and consume them (state laws vary, though). However, if you use concentrates like delta 8 THC shatter and take a drug test with THC panels, there is a strong possibility you could fail. Therefore, we do not recommend using THC products if you are subject to drug screening.
How Does Delta 8 THC Shatter Work in Your System?
Just like delta 9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana, delta 8 THC shatter works by interacting with your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). Once you inhale delta-8 shatter, you may feel many different effects. Many customers agree that delta-8 shatter helps them by providing numerous health and wellness benefits.
Delta 8 THC shatter and its beneficial compounds (like terpenes) may be able to help you:
- Increase your appetite
- Reduce feelings of nausea
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Relieve pain or discomfort
However, every person is different, and there's no way to guess how your system will interact with delta 8 THC shatter or other concentrates. In addition, the effects can vary based on factors like the average quantity you consume, how long you've been using delta 8 THC, the specific strain of plant that produced your shatter, its overall quality, etc.
