Table of ContentsDelta-8-THC is a THC analogue with mild psychoactive effects that make it a popular recreational product. Because it's made from CBD and contains less than 0.3% Delta-9-THC, it's federally classified as legal.
That's good news, especially since Delta-8 is also thought to mimic some of the therapeutic benefits of traditional THC products.
In general, the effects of Delta-8 are thought to be about 60% as potent as Delta-9's, resulting in a clean, functional high that both recreational and therapeutic users love. You can find Delta-8-THC in many legal states, and you may be able to find a wide variety of dosing styles, potencies, and flavors when you buy from New Mexico.

When you shop online, you'll access a much larger variety of product types, potencies, and flavors than you'll find in any store.
Buying Delta-8 online gives you the best opportunity to view a brand's reputation and quality standards. The hemp industry is not yet well regulated, so it's up to you to check the brand's hemp source, testing methods, and ingredient lists. We recommend a brand that uses high-quality, US grown hemp that's pesticide-free. Also check for final lab results that verify the potency listed on the bottle.
For example, you can find our third party lab test results clearly listed on every product page. That means you can see independent test results that verify the potency of all of our Delta-8 edibles, flower, vapes, and more before you buy. Read more about our quality standards here.
Shopping online allows you to compare quality and prices to ensure that you're getting the best deal. When you buy online, be sure to buy directly from a hemp brand or manufacturer in order to save on the upcharge you'll pay at third-party marketplaces.
At Vida Optima, we keep most of the work in house in order to keep production costs low. Then, we pass on the savings to consumers. We're proud to offer some of the most affordable Delta-8-THC products on the market without sacrificing any quality.

Chances are you've seen local stores advertising Delta-8-THC products as the next big thing. You can probably find Delta-8-THC in a variety of stores, like convenience stores, grocery markets, and smoke shops. In some cases you may even find local brands or vendors with worthwhile products. Still, you should beware of the local Delta-8-THC market.
In many cases, these local vendors buy the products they find at the best margins and sell them at the highest acceptable price. This is just one of the many ways that stores take advantage of the Delta-8 trend and new consumer's lack of industry knowledge.
Plus, these stores often won't provide even basic quality information, like hemp source or third-party test results.
In other words, you may find Delta-8 in New Mexico stores, but be wary of the quality and price of these products.
If you're shopping for Delta-8 online, you can find virtually any type of Delta-8-THC product your heart desires. At Vida Optima, we have a broad selection of Delta-8 formulas, including:
Delta-8-THC gummies are a portable, palatable dosing method that offer the convenience of pre-measured doses. This is especially convenient for regular therapeutic users who want a one and done Delta-8 dose.
This traditional dosing style has only one caveat: it needs to be digested. That means you may wait over an hour to fill the effects, but the effects are also longer lived than other dosing methods.
Our Delta-8 gummies have 10 mg of Delta-8-THC per piece. Before you buy Delta-8 Gummies in New Mexico, read our Delta-8-THC Gummy Buyer’s Guide.
Just like traditional edibles, sublingual-style edibles are also pre-measured, portable, and great tasting. Unlike traditional edibles, however, sublingual edibles melt in your mouth which allows Delta-8 to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream. This dosing style takes effect in 20 to 30 minutes, although the effects may be a little shorter live than traditional edibles.
We have a variety of sublingual-style edibles, like our Elev8 Hard Candies and Elev8 Chews, including 10, 25, and 50 mg doses.
Delta-8 oil is a popular dosing method for therapeutic consumers because it makes it simple to accurately measure your Delta-8 dose. This liquid form of Delta-8 comes with an attached dropper lid and can be measured in precise increments.
It's designed to be dropped under the tongue, which allows for sublingual absorption similarly to sublingual edibles. In other words, a Delta-8-THC tincture may kick in after only 30 minutes and the effects can last between 2 and 4 hours.
Our Delta-8-THC Oil tests at 95%+ Δ8THC and offers a potent 1,000 mg of Delta-8 per bottle.
Delta-8 vaporizers are popular for their fast acting effects. Each dose can take effect in as little as 5 minutes, which offers users the convenient ability to stack small doses until they reach their desired level of high. This is obviously great for both new THC users who need to experiment with their THC dose and therapeutic users who need instant relief.
Plus, most vape formulas contain other hemp derivatives, like terpenes, which can alter or boost the therapeutic benefits of each dose.
Our Elev8 Delta-8 Vape Carts contain 1000mg of Delta-8 oil per cartridge with about 5% reserved for terpenes (used for strain profiling.)
Our carts may deliver anywhere from 150 to 300 individual doses depending on the length of each inhale and the type of battery used. You can grab an Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid Delta-8 Vape Cart from our Elev8 Collection.
Before you buy Delta-8 Vapes in New Mexico, read our Delta-8-THC Cart Buying Guide.
Delta-8 flower is regular hemp flower with Delta-8 distillate added on top. This dosing style most closely replicates the experience of smoking traditional cannabis flower. Consumers love the aromatic, fast-acting effects. Plus, Delta-8 flower generally contains terpenes and CBD that boost the therapeutic properties of each dose. Our Delta-8-THC Flower collection includes a variety of the most popular strains, including indicas, sativas, and hybrids.
You may also be able to find some of these products in local stores, but the selection will likely be more limited. The most common Delta-8 products found in New Mexico stores include gummies, vapes, and tincture oils.
In most cases, state law does not define any minimum age limit for buying Delta-8-THC products. However, most vendors will require you to be 21 years or older to buy Delta-8 whether you're shopping in stores or online.
If you’re shopping in stores, your access to Delta-8 may be limited. If you buy Delta-8 online, you can buy Delta-8 from anywhere in New Mexico. That means that whether you are shopping from Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, or another town in New Mexico, you can order directly from our Elev8 Collection.
