I'm actually with you on that one 👍
Confused though, am I supposed to upvote or downvote this post? Meh, too lazy to do either. Smoke whatever you want, or don't, all cool with me.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Hell yeah 💯 (and I dunno on the votes lol)
Definitely the first person I've personally seen say that, that's a long term weed user. I don't doubt there's plenty that would agree with you, I just haven't run into them.
I tried some cbd oil the my arthritis and such, and it worked okay without any weirdness (I can't smoke weed, it majorly screws me up in a bad way), so I've been thinking about trying D8 to see if it can add to the pain relief factor without messing with me. I'm just gunshy lol. A two hour descent into hell is not something I enjoy, and if the D8 hits me the same as regular weed does, I'd not be happy.
It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC does, just not as strong/intense and doesn't last as long. For me, that's the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it's a common complaint.
If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I'll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.
I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).
Please don't take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.
Hey I appreciate the tips, thank you!
Personally I used to enjoy a dab of d8 more than I would enjoy smoking weed, but since I've had access to cheap d9 concentrates I haven't really gone back to d8 at all. I like that d8 doesn't come with as many side effects like tingles in various parts of my body and anxiety in general. But I prefer the experience of d9 concentrates much more and I've come to appreciate flower more as well. I don't understand all the hate Delta 8 gets at all because it's hemp derived and extremely similar to "regular" THC and most people I think just misunderstand it.
Yeah, same. I just don't have the time to carve out multiple hours getting high. With ∆8, I can take a hit before getting in the shower, and I'm basically sober when I head off to work.
yeah it's really easy to regulate or even micro-dose with the little d8 pens. Prob one of my favorite things about them. The gummies, though, will still get you plenty dumb. I usually cut them into quarters (they're fairly big) and that's about where I want to be.
That's understandable. I prefer vaping over a joint though simply due to the fact that it uses lower temperatures and so you get more of the THC.
Yeah, I used to do the dry herb vapes. They were nice, but cleaning them was a chore. Never could afford a Volcano when I was still a regular smoker, but I inherited a dry herb pen vape from a buddy who upgraded. 10/10 would recommend (despite the cleaning required)
