How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your System?

How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your System?

We get this question all the time - especially from customers trying edibles or vapes for the first time:

How long does Delta 8 stay in your system?

Short answer: it depends on your body, how much you’ve used, and how often. Let’s break it down - no fluff, just real info.

Quick Answer:

Delta-8 THC can stay in your system anywhere from 2 days to over 30 days, depending on:

• Your body type and metabolism

• How often you consume Delta-8

• The type of product (gummy, vape, drink, etc.)

• Whether you’re being tested - and how

What Is Delta 8, Anyway?

Delta-8 THC is a federally legal, hemp-derived compound that gives you a smoother, more functional high than Delta-9. It’s popular because it offers mellow effects without the paranoia - and it’s available in gummies, vapes, pre-rolls, and more.

But even though it’s legal, it can still show up on a drug test.

That’s because Delta-8 and Delta-9 are processed the same way in your body. Most tests can’t tell the difference - they’re just looking for THC metabolites.

How long does Delta 8 stay in your system?

How long Delta-8 stays in your system depends heavily on the type of drug test being used. For urine tests-the most common form of testing-Delta-8 can be detectable for anywhere from 3 to 30 days, especially if you use it regularly. Saliva tests typically have a shorter window, usually detecting Delta-8 for about 1 to 3 days after use. Blood tests can pick it up for up to 2 days, while hair follicle tests have the longest detection window and may show traces of Delta-8 for up to 90 days, though this type of test is less common for cannabinoids. Your personal usage habits and metabolism will also play a big role in how long it stays in your system

 

What Affects How Long It Stays?

1. Frequency of Use

Occasional users might be in the clear after a few days. Daily users could test positive for weeks.

2. Body Type

THC is stored in fat cells, so people with higher body fat or slower metabolisms may retain it longer.

3. Product Type

• Edibles last longer in your body

• Vapes exit faster

• Drinks vary depending on your liver’s metabolism

4. Lifestyle

Hydration, diet, and physical activity can help your body flush things out — but there’s no magic fix.

 

Can Delta 8 Make You Fail a Drug Test?

Yes - even though it’s legal. Standard drug tests don’t care if your THC came from hemp or not. They look for THC metabolites, and Delta-8 produces the same ones as Delta-9.

If you’ve got a drug test coming up, avoid Delta-8 for at least 2–4 weeks to be safe
