Delta-8 is a hemp isomer and THC analog that's being made from legal CBD material. Thanks to its legal hemp source, Delta-8 products are also legal by federal law.
That's surprising for some since Delta-8 carries some mild psychoactive effects that are similar to traditional THC products. In fact, Delta-8 is thought to be about 60% as potent as cannabis-derived THC products, and it's also said to carry many of the same therapeutic benefits.
Thanks to its accessibility and variety of uses, consumers are searching all over for a variety of different Delta-8 formulas, potencies, and flavors.

Not exactly. Although New York has legalized hemp products, the state has taken counter measures to ban Delta-8. Read “Is Delta-8 Legal in New York?” to learn more about NY Delta-8 laws.
Because Delta-8 is banned in the state of New York, you probably won't find any legal Delta-8 products in stores. In areas where Delta-8-THC is legal, however, many people opt to buy Delta-8 online instead of sourcing from local stores. Here’s why:
Some Delta-8 companies make it simple to buy Delta-8 online and have it shipped directly to your door. For many people, shopping online is best because you can:
When you shop online, expect to find a much wider variety of formulas, potencies, and flavors than you'll find in stores, even in legal states.
Shopping online gives you a great opportunity to closely investigate a brand before you buy. Look for a brand that uses high-quality hemp, such as US grown hemp that's quality tested before production. Ensure that the manufacturing process is free of pesticides and other contaminants. Then, look for third-party test results that verify information presented on the label of every product.
For example, you can find our third party lab test results for every batch clearly listed on every product page. All Vida Optima products are backed by independent lab tests that verify the potency of our products. We use only high-quality U.S. hemp manufactured in cGMP-compliant facilities to ensure that we only offer the best quality possible.
Buying online gives you the ability to shop around to save money. Most importantly, however, it gives you the ability to buy directly from a hemp brand instead of from a third-party seller. That means you can avoid the high cost associated with buying through a middleman.
At Vida Optima, we do most of the work in-house in order to save on pricey marketing campaigns and ritzy designers. Then, we pass our savings down to the consumer, which allows us to offer some of the most affordable Delta-8 products on the market.
Shopping online means accessing the Delta-8 products you need without driving store to store or even leaving your couch.
Buying online from our store is incredibly discreet! Every Vida Optima delivery arrives discreetly packaged so that it won’t tip off the delivery person or your neighbors.
While you may find a variety of different Delta-8 products in the stores in New York, these products are not exactly legal. In many cases, local law enforcement has just not yet caught up with state law, so it's possible that you may still find some shady formulas in local stores.
It's tempting to grab these products to give them a try, but there are some things to keep in mind. These local stores are not required to provide you with any accurate quality-related information and are unlikely to even provide third-party test results. Plus, chances are they bought the cheapest Delta-8 products they could find and they're selling them at top tier prices in order to cash in on the current Delta-8 trend.
In other words, you may find Delta-8 in New York stores, but it's not legal to buy and it could be unsafe or overpriced.
You can't access legal Delta-8 products in New York because the state has banned Delta-8 manufacturing and sales. In legal areas, however, many people prefer to buy Delta-8-THC shopping online has its advantages, like a wider product selection.
At Vida Optima, we have multiple different Delta-8 formulas, including:
Gummies are one of the most popular dosing methods available. Not only are they delicious, but they offer the convenience of pre-measured, incredibly palatable, and ultra-portable doses. This is a benefit for recreational and therapeutic users, but especially those who use Delta-8-THC regularly and want to skip the messy measuring process with every dose.
Like other traditional edibles, gummies need to be digested before they reach the bloodstream. They may take over an hour to kick in, but the slow rolling effects can last around 6 hours, which is much longer than most dosing methods.
Our Delta-8 Gummies are made using a vegan gummy formula and offer 10 milligrams of Delta-8 per piece.

Sublingual edibles are similar to traditional edibles in that they come individually packaged and pre-portioned. They are also discreet, convenient, and portable.
Unlike traditional edibles, sublingual edibles are designed to dissolve in your mouth which allows Delta-8 to be absorbed by the mucous membranes. This means that Delta-8 can take effect quickly, usually in about 30 minutes. The effects might not last quite as long as traditional edibles, but the time difference is usually negligible.
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 oils are popular with therapeutic users and new users who need to easily adjust their dosages. Oils come with a built-in dropper lid that allows you to easily adjust your dosage in small increments.
Delta-8-THC oil is designed to be placed under the tongue where it can be absorbed sublingually. This means that an oil can take effect in about 30 minutes and the effects last around 2-4 hours. Plus, Delta-8 oils are generally highly potent which makes them an accessible option for buying large quantities to save money.
Our Delta-8-THC Oil tests at 95%+ Δ8THC and offers a potent 1,000 mg of Delta-8 per bottle.
Delta-8 vapes are popular thanks to their instant effects which usually kick in after only a few minutes. That lends users the unique ability to feel the effects as they dose, so it's easy to decide whether to increase your dosage or not.
Many vale formulas contain different terpenes and other hemp compounds that alter the therapeutic and recreational profile of the product. That means you can choose a specific vape formula to best fit your dosing needs.
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.
To learn more, read our Delta-8-THC Cart Buying Guide.
Delta 8 flower is a popular dosing method that's made by spraying Delta-8 distillate onto CBD rich hemp flower. You use it just like traditional cannabis flower by rolling it or packing it in a bowl to smoke. The experience is aromatic and offers fast-acting benefits. Plus, the hemp flower contains CBD and other terpenes that may offer boosted therapeutic effects.
Our Delta-8-THC Flower collection includes a variety of the most popular strains, including indicas, sativas, and hybrids.
Delta-8 isn't legal according to New York state law, so there are no minimum age requirements in place. Instead, vendors, including those in stores and online, can decide the minimum age requirements for purchase. In most cases, you'll need to be 21 years old or older to purchase Delta-8-THC products in the US.
If you’re shopping in stores, your access to Delta-8 may be limited. If you buy Delta-8 online from a legal state, you can buy Delta-8 from virtually anywhere. That means that whether you are shopping from New York City, Brookhaven, Islip, Hempstead, or another town in New York, you will find a much larger Delta-8 selection when shopping online than in stores.
