Deadible Delta-8 vs Delta-9 & Why we Pivoted: Seeking Partnerships, Collabs and Thoughts on Video Reviews vs Recorded Customer Reviews for Growth

I’m reaching out to see if anyone here is interested in potential collaborations in the hemp edibles space. We’ve been running Deadible since 2019, starting with logistics support for online creators before shifting to hemp products in 2022. We focused on delta-8 gummies as our entry point rather than delta-9, mainly because it allowed us to enter the Hemp market on a large scale, gaining capital for expansion and building a customer base with a more accessible option with amazing effects. We emphasize high-quality, lab-tested products that prioritize safety and consistency think of it as aiming for the best delta-8 gummies experience out there so people come back. We’d never deviate from dispensary grade goodies as that’s horrible for business (we’re aware many people are nervous with Delta-8 so please share thoughts below!) For context, our approach centers on edibles because the body’s metabolism converts delta-8 into metabolites very similar to delta-9’s, providing comparable effects like relaxation and relief but with less intensity (source on metabolism claims https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17303175/ source on delta-8 metabolism via cytochrome P450 )Delta-9 gets turned into 11-hydroxy-delta-9-THC, and delta-8 follows a parallel path to 11-hydroxy-delta-8-THC, which is often slightly milder in potency, which obviously when you increase the dosage, hence 5000mg, effects will be STRONG(comparative pharmacology study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC302499/ comparative pharmacology study. )We back this with third-party COA tests for every batch, covering potency and contaminants, to ensure reliability. Plus, edibles hit differently from smoking due to that liver conversion, making the effects more profound and longer-lasting (Edibles are way more potent 5 studies cited https://www.earthyselect.com/blog/edibles-vs-smoking/ edibles vs smoking differences.) Our long term goal is multi-state growth by first focusing on Delta-8, and we’re open to partnering on distribution, co-branding, or shared marketing efforts to make that happen. Has anyone here made a similar pivot from delta-8 to delta-9, or vice versa? What challenges did you face with regulations or scaling? If you’re in manufacturing, retail, or even content creation in this industry, let’s discuss how we might work together. I’m happy to share more details or hear about your experiences. ALSO we have a Deadible review recorded from a phone call with a customer describing his thoughts on the business, if interested in collaborating we’d be happy to share the details of where to find it for better context about us.
