The half-life of Delta 8 THC

There are two phases to delta 8 THC metabolism: the slow phase and the rapid phase. It takes approximately 1 minute for delta 8 THC to be eliminated from your body after you have taken it. After that, the metabolic rate drops significantly. This is when delta8 THC enters into the slow phase.

It takes approximately 30 minutes for half the compound to be metabolized, leaving behind about 50% of the original dose. Another half of the compound is cleared 30 minutes later — leaving behind 25% delta 8 THC. This continues until there is nothing left.
