I've been smoking Delta 8 buds from Fern Valley Farms. an Oz of the smalls is $45.00 and delta 8 doesn't make me paranoid or cause me to start re-evaluating my entire life. It just relaxes me and helps my tendinitis.
Delta 8 is pretty good. Surprised that is legal but regular flower is not for most states. I don't really get it. Can't do it too much though or your tolerance will be too high and you will not feel the effects that much, like edibles. Only do it like once every 2 weeks or so.
It's really only Sativa that gives you the paranoid feel. It's known as the "artistic" or "thinker" type of feeling, but in a crowded area or not In a good place, can make you over think, and thus get paranoid.
The indica is better for sleep, healing, and relaxation. That is what Delta8 is, I believe.
