What Is A Delta-8 Tincture?
Delta-8 tinctures are liquid hemp extracts infused with the psychoactive compound delta-8 THC. Similar to CBD oils, they come in a convenient bottle with a dropper, making it easy to measure your ideal dose.
Delta-8 is a close cousin to delta-9 THCthe primary cannabinoid in marijuana—but it delivers a gentler, more mellow high. Users often describe the effects as clear-headed, calming, and physically relaxing, without the mental intensity of traditional THC.
Our oils are derived from American-grown hemp and always contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC to stay compliant with federal law.
Delta-8 Oils & Tinctures FAQs
Are Delta-8 Oils Legal In The U.S. ?
Yes federally, delta-8 THC from hemp is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, as long as the final product contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. However, state laws vary. Some states have restrictions or outright bans, so always check your local laws before ordering.
At JustKana, we only use compliant hemp-derived delta-8 and include lab reports with every order for full transparency.
How Do You Make Delta-8 Oils and Tinctures?
Although delta-8 THC is a natural cannabinoid, it's one of the least abundant compounds in hemp flowers. In most hemp strains, delta-8 accounts for ~ 1 percent of the plant's total cannabinoid concentration.
It would be impossible for delta-8 manufacturers to turn a profit if they extracted the natural delta-8 THC from raw hemp flowers. Until cultivators develop a way to grow delta-8-rich nugs, extractors rely on CBD to create delta-8 oils.
CBD is the most common hemp cannabinoid, plus it's federally legal. Also, since CBD and THC have the same parent cannabinoid (i.e., CBG-A), they have a similar molecular structure. Chemists use pressure, heat, and solvents to create delta-8 THC in a controlled lab setting. Once they have their delta-8 THC, extractors will mix it into a food-safe oil.
At JustKana, we use coconut-extracted MCT oil and natural hemp resin oil in our full-spectrum CBD and delta-8 tinctures. We feel this combination provides the optimal benefits to customers and compliments delta-8's fat-soluble structure.

Are Delta-8 THC Tinctures Better Than Other Delta-8 Products?
Arguably, the most attractive feature of delta-8 oils is their ease of dosing. Although you can see the total delta-8 concentration in hemp flowers, prerolls, and vape carts, you never truly know how much you're getting with each session. Only delta-8 oils allow you to measure your cannabinoid dosage with unparalleled accuracy thanks to your milligram dropper and sublingual ingestion.
"Sublingual ingestion" means putting some delta-8 oil under your tongue for a few seconds before swallowing. By using this method, you'll enjoy close to 100 percent delta-8 absorption. Not only does this give you a clear idea of your daily delta-8 dosage, it provides customers with fast-acting & potent effects.
By contrast, delta-8 gummies take a longer time to work through the digestive system. By the time a hemp gummy breaks down in the liver, not all of the delta-8 will enter your bloodstream. While gummies' subtler effects may be attractive for some situations, they won't provide the precision of a delta-8 tincture.
How Should People Take Delta-8 THC Oils?
While there are many ways to take delta-8 oils, the most popular method is to place a few drops under your tongue, wait, and swallow. This technique allows the tongue's sublingual glands to absorb delta-8 THC into a person's bloodstream, which produces the most intense effects.
For those who aren't fans of taking delta-8 sublingually, you could add this oil to a glass of water and "chug." The effects of swallowing your "delta-8 water" won't be as pronounced as taking it sublingually, but this method will have an impact.
Some people also enjoy putting their delta-8 oil in edible or topical recipes. Since the delta-8 in a tincture is already decarboxylated, you can add a smidge to your favorite DIY products. Just remember that delta-8 is way more potent than CBD, so you'll need to dial back your dosage if you're used to using CBD oils.
How Much Delta-8 THC Oil Should I Take?
New customers must take a cautious approach to dosing delta-8 oils. While most anecdotal testimonies suggest delta-8 isn't as intense as delta-9, this cannabinoid can pack a punch. You can't rely on your preferred CBD or CBG dosage when determining how much delta-8 oil to take.
Please always take less delta-8 THC oil than you would CBD oil. As a rule of thumb, JustKana recommends starting with no more than 5 mg of delta-8 THC oil on your first session. Delta-8 can induce adverse side effects like paranoia if mishandled, so it's safer to stick with a "microdose" on your first session.
After gaining experience with your delta-8 THC tincture, you can slowly increase the milligram count at each new session. We'd recommend keeping detailed notes of your daily dosage on your phone or in a notepad while experimenting with delta-8 THC oil.
Are There Side Effects From Taking Delta-8 THC Oil?
Delta-8 is psychoactive, and side effects are possible especially with higher doses. These may include dry mouth, red eyes, grogginess, or mild paranoia.
We recommend starting at night or during downtime when you don’t need to be alert. Never drive or operate machinery after using delta-8.
Are Your Delta-8 THC Products Lab-Tested?
JustKana places the highest importance on screening our products for safety. If we don't feel comfortable taking our delta-8 products, we will never list them for sale.
We constantly publish our latest lab reports on this link so customers can get an up-to-date view of the purity of our hemp extracts. JustKana also includes third-party lab reports when shipping our delta-8 tinctures and oils.

Do You Sell Any Other Delta-8 Products?
Delta-8 tinctures have a lot of benefits, but they may not suit every customer's preferences. If you're not interested in delta-8 oils, you could find many other options on JustKana's website.
For instance, we now have a line of delta-8 THC vape carts that work with standard 510 threaded batteries. Our natural delta-8 THC carts have zero MCT, PG, VG, or PEG oil. Instead, customers will only experience clean delta-8 plus the all-natural hemp terpenes and dozens of iconic strains.
Customers who'd prefer to go "old school" will also find plenty of delta-8-fortified hemp nugs and prerolls on our site. Similar to our vape carts, these delta-8 hemp flowers mimic many of the most iconic marijuana strains — except they have ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC!
Lastly, anyone with a sweet tooth could order a bag of our fruity delta-8 gummies. Available in apple, blueberry, and watermelon, our delta-8 gummies are a great way to subtly introduce delta-8 to your body.
Just remember that delta-8 gummies take longer to have an effect, so please avoid eating too many of these goodies early on. Eating a lot of delta-8 gummies early in the day will likely experience severe side effects a few hours later. Be sure you start with no more than 5 mg of our delta-8 gummies and wait at least two hours before considering taking another 5 mg.
