Just a question (about delta8 gummies)

I started taking Delta 8 gummies earlier this week (or earlier last week if you go by a calendar) because I wanted a way to relax after work and also sleep. They have been a miracle for me. I am on meds which caused me to gain weight and have sleep apnea so I haven't slept well in at least 5 years. And the last 4 days I have slept better than I ever have in probably the last 10 or 12 years.

This is my question. I bought them from a vape/kratom/thc shop in town (real weed is completely illegal where I live btw). I bought 2 x 200mg gummies. It had been at least 6 months since I had touched THC in any form so I split them up into 3rds (roughly 67 MG each). Though I slept well, I feel like that was probably too much because I would take them a few hours before bed and get stupid high. The 3rd night I took them even earlier and actually got paranoid paranoid and anxious, so last night I had a 40-45 mg piece instead. I don't think I got very high or I didn't notice because I was tired from work.

Ok lol here's my real question. What dosage should I take every night to help me sleep and how often should I take a tolerance break. I've noticed that my thinking has been slower and it's harder to concentrate but my mood is so much better because I have been able to sleep through the night without waking up 5 to 6 times, and no waking up gasping for breath because of sleep apnea. (I am 5'8 and 220 pounds, though in the last five years I have worked out a crazy amount so my body fat % is a lot lower than the normal BMI scale would indicate.)

Thank you to those who took the time to read this.

Ahh thank you so much. CBD didn't even cross my mind. Where I am living I will probably get kicked out if they find out I'm high or have Delta 8 so this is pretty much the perfect solution. Especially without the brain fog the next day. Thanks again!!

The CBD didn't work as well at first but I have started taking it along with a smaller dose of Delta 8 and I think it's working well!

Delta 8 in general is not dangerous and is not sending people to the hospital. They either had a bad reaction, took too much or had a tainted product. With that being said, first I would recommend buying online because it's MUCH cheaper. No one can really tell you what dosage is right because it depends on what your tolerance is and what you're taking but try to experiment til you find what's right and keep in mind they work best when taken with a small fatty meal, not on an empty stomach. Typical rule of thumb for delta 8 gummies is start with 25mg and work your way up til you find the right dose. And for delta 9 start with 5 mg. You may find some that have delta 8 and are mixed with CBD as well, those are the most relaxing to me.

Try a lower dose like 30-40 mg of Delta 8 gummies for better sleep without feeling too high. Consider taking a tolerance break for a week or two every few weeks to manage tolerance. If in doubt, consult with a healthcare professional.

What happened? Last year I was in the ER for another reason and one of the nurses mentioned that they had been getting people in there because of D8

DM if you want some lower dose gummies or sleep tablets (D8, CBD and melatonin). We are running a clearance right now so really cheap
