Delta-11-THC is one of the least talked-about hemp-derived THC products to arrive on the scene this year–but it may have some of the biggest effects. In fact, it’s thought to be at least three times stronger than traditional Delta-9, offering powerful mind and body euphoria that can turn the tables even for experienced cannabis consumers.
The question is–how long does a Delta-11-THC high last? The answer, though, can be hard to pinpoint because the duration of a Delta-11-THC high can vary depending on several factors, including the dose, the method of consumption, and individual factors such as metabolism and tolerance.
We’ll break it all down below to help you determine how long a Delta-11 high may last for you. Let’s jump in:

How to Try Delta-11-THC
As we mentioned, Delta-11-THC’s effects are likely three times stronger than Delta-9-THC, but the effects are usually described as similar. The extent of the intense euphoric high is dose-dependent, but some possible effects include:
For many people, especially those looking for a levelled up THC experience, that sounds appealing, but there’s still one important question:
Before we can dig into how long the effects from Delta-11-THC may last, we’d like to note that there is currently no evidence to prove the duration of Delta-11 effects. In fact, Delta-11-THC is a relatively new cannabinoid, and research on its effects is limited overall. Still, based on what we know about other psychoactive cannabinoids, we can make some general predictions about the duration of a Delta-11-THC high.
For instance, there’s no one-off estimation for how long the effects of Delta-11 will last, rather it depends on a number of dosing factors, including:
The way you consume Delta-11-THC matters because different products are absorbed in different ways. When it comes to the method of consumption, smoking or vaping Delta-11-THC is likely to produce the fastest onset of effects and a shorter duration of the high compared to other methods such as edibles. Here’s an estimate of how the duration of effects break down for different dosing methods:
In some cases, dosage also makes an impact on how long the effects will last. While there may be only a miniscule difference between a 5 and 10 milligram dose, you’ll notice that a much larger dose (say 20 milligrams) will last a bit longer than a 5 millgram dose. The body simply takes a bit longer to process more THC, so the effects of larger doses last sightly longer.
Certain biological factors such as metabolism and tolerance can also influence the duration of a Delta-11-THC high. People with faster metabolisms may experience shorter-lasting effects, while those with slower metabolisms may experience longer-lasting effects.
Tolerance can also play a role in how long a Delta-11-THC high lasts. Regular cannabis users may develop a tolerance to the effects of Delta-11-THC, meaning they may need to consume more to achieve the desired effects, which can also affect the duration of the high.
Simply put, a Delta-11-THC high can last anywhere from 3-8 hours depending on the dosing method you use and your own unique biological factors, like your metabolic rate.
Now that you understand how long a Delta-11-THC high will last, you may be wondering how long Delta-11-THC stays in your system.
In this way, Delta-11 is thought to be almost identical to Delta-9, although no independent research exists to prove how long Delta-11 will stick around after ingestion. In general, THC remains in your saliva for approximately 48 hours after ingestion, and in your blood for up to 36 hours. However, THC generally sticks around in your body for much longer, up to a month or more for some people.
The amount of time it takes your body to completely process and remove all trace amounts of THC (which can show up in your urine) differs for every person based on factors like body fat and metabolism.
Additionally, THC takes longer to be eliminated from the body if it’s used frequently. In other words, a person who doses one time may have THC-free urine much sooner than someone who has ingested THC consistently for extended periods of time.
Currently, there’s more information available for Delta-8-THC, a legal hemp cannabinoid that’s similar to Delta-11. You may want to read “Does Delta-8 Show Up on a Drug Test?” for more information.
As we mentioned, there isn’t much evidence currently available to help us understand the potential effects or side effects of Delta-11-THC.
For now, its assumes that Delta-11 may have similar side effects to traditional cannabis, although the risk of overconsumption may be higher because the compounds itself is more potent.
Overconsumption is the primary cause behind THC side effects, which may include:
Delta-11’s potent effects are appealing for many cannabis consumers, but it’s increased potency is a very good reason to proceed with caution when trying out hemp-derived Delta-11-THC for the first time.
Because it’s hard to quantify the potency, you may want to start with small doses and wait to see how you feel. In some cases (with certain dosing methods), the effects are more short lived, so you should choose your first Delta-11 product wisely. Here’s what to consider:
The duration of a Delta-11-THC high can vary depending on several factors, including the method of consumption, individual factors, and the dose consumed. Smoking or vaping Delta-11-THC is likely to produce a shorter duration of effects compared to edibles, but individual factors such as metabolism and tolerance can also influence the duration of the high.
As research on Delta-11-THC continues to emerge, we may learn more about its effects and duration. For now, Delta-11 revels in its legal status (when made from hemp) and offers one of the most potent accessible THC doses you can find. Looking for legal hemp-derived THC?
