Delta 8 Wholesale 101: What Retailers Need to Know Before Buying in Bulk

As the hemp industry continues to expand, Delta 8 THC has emerged as one of the most in-demand cannabinoids on the market. Retailers across the country are racing to stock Delta 8 products, but with so many suppliers and legal nuances, the wholesale buying process can be overwhelming.

This guide from SMOOTHE Hemp and CBD breaks down everything you need to know before investing in Delta 8 wholesale — from sourcing and compliance to pricing strategies and product trends.

What Is Delta 8 THC and Why Is It Trending?

Delta 8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp. It’s a milder, less psychoactive cousin of Delta 9 THC (the primary compound in marijuana), offering a smoother high with reduced anxiety and a more functional effect.

Here’s why Delta 8 is growing in popularity:

• Legal under the 2018 Farm Bill (as long as it’s derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC)

• Produces a euphoric effect without the intensity of marijuana

• Ideal for wellness, mood elevation, and relaxation

• Available in various forms: disposables, edibles, carts, tinctures, and more

Retailers are tapping into this trend by stocking up on bulk Delta 8 products — but there are several factors to consider first.

Key Things to Know Before Buying Delta 8 in Bulk

Not all Delta 8 products or suppliers are created equal. Here's what every retailer should check before making a wholesale commitment.

✅ Check for Full Panel Lab Testing

Trustworthy Delta 8 products should always come with COAs (Certificates of Analysis) that verify:

• Cannabinoid potency

• Delta 9 THC content (must be under 0.3%)

• Pesticides and heavy metals

• Residual solvents (for vapes and distillates)

SMOOTHE Hemp and CBD includes scannable QR codes on every product, linking to real-time lab reports. This gives your customers peace of mind and shows you’re committed to safe, compliant sales.

✅ Understand State Laws and Shipping Restrictions

While the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived cannabinoids federally, some U.S. states have restricted or banned Delta 8 THC. As of 2025, at least a dozen states regulate or prohibit Delta 8, including:

• Alaska

• Colorado

• New York

• Vermont

• Washington

Before buying wholesale, make sure you're aware of your local and shipping destination laws. SMOOTHE Hemp and CBD works only with legal, compliant shipping areas and can help you navigate these legal gray zones.

✅ Know the Product Types That Sell Best

The Delta 8 product category is broad. Retailers have success with different products depending on their market.

Top-performing wholesale items include:

• Delta 8 Disposable Vapes – Popular for convenience and fast onset

• Delta 8 Gummies – Great for wellness and casual users

• Delta 8 Cartridges (510-thread) – Ideal for vape enthusiasts

• Delta 8 Pre-rolls or Flower – Gaining popularity with traditional smokers

SMOOTHE’s bestsellers include flavor-rich disposables and potent gummies, all available for wholesale buyers in bulk packaging with consistent supply.

✅ Look for Transparent Pricing and Volume Discounts

Not all wholesale programs offer the same flexibility. A reliable Delta 8 supplier should provide:

• Tiered pricing (e.g. buy more, save more)

• Transparent MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities)

• Inventory consistency

• White-label or custom branding options

At SMOOTHE Hemp and CBD, we offer bulk pricing on our full Delta 8 line, with no hidden fees or quality cutbacks. We’re upfront with per-unit pricing, shipping timelines, and reordering strategies.
