Adults 21 and over only. This article describes an age-restricted, intoxicating product. It is informational and is not medical advice, and nothing here is encouragement to use these products.
What This Is, and the Name Change
D8 Super Store is a large online retailer of hemp-derived cannabinoid products — disposable vapes from 1g up to 9g, cartridges, edibles, concentrates and flower, across delta-8, delta-9, delta-10, THCA, THCP, THCH, CBD, CBG and CBN. Free shipping over $49, and the site claims “1000s of top brands” and 100,000+ customers.
First thing to note: it now trades as “alt super store.” The d8superstore.com address resolves to a site titled alt super store, support runs through altsuperstore.com, and product pages sit on that domain. The affiliate listing still says D8 Super Store, so do not be surprised by the different name at checkout.
Affiliate disclosure: we earn 30% if you buy through our links. That is a high rate on an intoxicating product, so discount our enthusiasm accordingly.

What Delta-8 Actually Is
The most common misunderstanding about this category is the most important one. The FDA states it directly:
“Delta-8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects, similar to delta-9 THC (i.e., the component responsible for the ‘high’ people may experience from using cannabis).”
And: some products “may be labeled simply as ‘hemp products,’ which may mislead consumers who associate ‘hemp’ with ‘non-psychoactive.’”
If your reference point for “hemp” is CBD, recalibrate. This is an intoxicant. Do not drive, and do not treat a first dose casually.
The FDA also notes these products “likely expose consumers to much higher levels of the substance than are naturally occurring in hemp,” so “historical use of cannabis cannot be relied upon in establishing a level of safety for these products in humans.”
Why “Less Than 0.3%” Does Not Mean Mild
The site’s footer states: “Products on this site contain less than 0.3% Δ9-THC.” That is a true and legally meaningful statement, and it is also the single most misread sentence in this industry.
The 0.3% threshold applies only to delta-9 THC. It says nothing about delta-8, delta-10, THCA, THCP or THCH — which is exactly why those cannabinoids are what is being sold. A product can sit comfortably under 0.3% delta-9 and be strongly intoxicating.
THCA deserves its own note because it is the least intuitive. THCA is not intoxicating as sold — but it converts to delta-9 THC when heated, which is what happens when you smoke or vape it. A compliant “under 0.3% delta-9” THCA product can therefore deliver a great deal of delta-9 in use.
None of this is a criticism of the retailer — they state the figure accurately and it is the standard industry disclosure. It is a warning about how to read it.
The FDA and Poison Control Numbers
FDA adverse event reports, 1 December 2020 to 28 February 2022 — 104 reports:
- 55% required intervention such as emergency medical services, or hospital admission
- 66% followed ingestion of food products — brownies and gummies
- Reported effects included hallucinations, vomiting, tremor, anxiety, dizziness, confusion and loss of consciousness
- 8% involved patients under 18
National poison control centres, 1 January 2021 to 28 February 2022 — 2,362 exposure cases:
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Patients under 18 | 41% |
| Unintentional exposures | 40% |
| Of those unintentional, paediatric | 82% |
| Required health care evaluation | 70% |
| Of those, admitted to critical care | 8% |
| Paediatric cases coded with an outcome of death | 1 |
These are category figures, not this retailer’s. We are not attributing any of them to D8 Super Store. They describe the product class you would be buying.
The Risk the FDA Actually Emphasises
This is the part that determines how you should judge any delta-8 seller, and it is not about potency.
There is almost no delta-8 in hemp naturally. Commercial delta-8 is made by chemically converting CBD — an acid-catalysed reaction. The FDA’s concerns follow directly from that:
- “Some manufacturers may use potentially unsafe household chemicals to make delta-8 THC through this chemical synthesis process.”
- “Additional chemicals may be used to change the color of the final product.”
- “The final delta-8 THC product may have potentially harmful by-products (contaminants) due to the chemicals used in the process.”
- “Manufacturing of delta-8 THC products may occur in uncontrolled or unsanitary settings.”
So the question that matters for a delta-8 buyer is not “how strong is it?” It is “what else is in it?” — leftover reaction chemicals, solvents and by-products from the conversion.
That makes the certificate of analysis the most important document in the transaction, and it is why we went looking for one.
We Downloaded Their Lab Report and Read It
There is no site-wide lab results hub — we looked and the obvious URLs return nothing. But individual product pages carry a “Certificate of Analysis” section with a downloadable PDF, so we downloaded one and read it properly rather than assuming.
It is a genuine document from a genuinely accredited laboratory, and that deserves saying clearly.
- KCA Laboratories, Nicholasville, Kentucky
- ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, PJLA accreditation #108651, ILAC-MRA marked
- A Kentucky Department of Agriculture licence number
- A QR code for verifying authenticity
- Two named signatories, a scientist and a commercial director, with dates
- Sample ID, batch number, matrix, unit mass, and collection, receipt and completion dates
The results were specific and plausible: a full cannabinoid panel by HPLC-PDA with limits of detection and quantification for each analyte, reporting total delta-9 THC at 0.00394%, CBD at 2.80%, CBG at 2.28%, CBN at 0.569%, and delta-8 THC not detected in that particular CBD product.
This is far better than much of this industry manages. Plenty of hemp retailers publish nothing, or publish an unreadable image with no lab name. Credit where it is due.
What the Certificate Does Not Cover
Then look at the summary box on the certificate itself, which is admirably honest about its own scope.
| Test | Status on the certificate |
|---|---|
| Cannabinoids | Tested |
| Moisture content | Not Tested |
| Foreign matter | Not Tested |
| Residual solvents | No panel present |
| Pesticides, heavy metals, microbials | No panel present |
So it is a potency certificate. It answers “how much of each cannabinoid is in here?” with real rigour. It does not answer “what else is in here?” at all — and “what else is in here?” is precisely the question the FDA raises about delta-8.
We want to be scrupulous about the limits of this finding. We read one certificate, for one CBD gummy, from one of the many brands the site carries. Other brands may commission fuller panels, and a retailer stocking thousands of third-party products does not control what each supplier tests for. We did not verify a delta-8 product’s certificate specifically, and we should have liked to.
One practical note from the same document: the certificate filename referenced a 30-pack while the product page was a 2-pack of the same formulation. That is probably shared documentation for one recipe across pack sizes, but it is a reminder to check the certificate you are shown actually corresponds to the item and batch in your basket.
The One Thing to Check Before You Buy
Open the Certificate of Analysis on the product page and look for a residual solvents panel.
If it shows only cannabinoids, it is telling you the strength and nothing about the purity — and for a synthesised cannabinoid, purity is the risk.
Prefer products whose certificate includes residual solvents, and ideally heavy metals, pesticides and microbials too. Those panels exist and plenty of manufacturers commission them — we read exactly that kind of full safety panel from another brand only last week. It is achievable, so its absence is a choice.
Scan the QR code. A certificate that verifies against the issuing lab is worth a great deal more than a PDF on a seller’s server, and this one offers that.
Check the batch number on the certificate against the batch on the product where you can. A certificate for a different batch tells you about a different batch.
Where They Are Genuinely Diligent
This is the strongest thing about the operation and it is worth spelling out, because it is the kind of unglamorous work that separates a serious retailer from a chancer.
They publish separate shipping restrictions per cannabinoid, not one blanket list:
- Delta-8 not shipped to: AK, CO, DE, ID, IA, MN, MT, NV, ND, OR, RI, SC, UT, VT
- THCA not shipped to: AR, ID, MN, OR, RI
- Amanita muscaria not shipped to Louisiana
- Kratom not shipped to Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin — and to individual jurisdictions including Sarasota County FL, Union County NC, Denver CO, San Diego and Oceanside CA, Jerseyville IL and Union County MS
Tracking kratom restrictions down to individual counties is real compliance effort. Different products have genuinely different legal statuses in different places, and they have done the work rather than shipping everything everywhere and hoping.
They also carry the correct disclaimers on every page: the FDA evaluation statement, “Must be 21 years or older to purchase from this website”, and that products are “not intended for children, or pregnant or lactating women.”
The Part That Is Not About You
If you take one thing from this review, take this one.
Of the 2,362 poison control exposure cases, 40% were unintentional — and 82% of those unintentional exposures were children. 45% of all cases requiring a hospital visit were paediatric. One child died.
Delta-8 edibles are gummies. They are brightly coloured, fruit-flavoured, and to a child indistinguishable from sweets — and a whole packet is an enormous dose for a small body. The FDA specifically warns to keep these away from children and pets.
Store them locked, out of sight and out of reach, in original child-resistant packaging — not in a kitchen drawer, not in a bag on the floor, and never decanted into another container. If a child does get into them, call poison control immediately rather than waiting to see.
Prices, Shipping and Returns
- Free shipping on orders over $49, shipped via USPS
- Discreet packaging on all orders
- A points-based “SUPER Rewards” loyalty scheme
- A clearance section and a “THC Under $20” category
- No refunds on orders with incorrect addresses or spelling, and address changes are impossible once shipped
- Once shipped, delivery problems are treated as USPS’s responsibility — so if a package is marked delivered but missing, expect to chase the carrier
Check your address twice at checkout. It is a small thing, but the policy is explicit that a typo is your problem and not refundable.
Who Should Not Buy This At All
- Anyone under 21. The site says so and so do we
- Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Anyone with children or pets in the house who will not lock these away properly
- Anyone subject to drug testing. Delta-8 use can produce a positive THC result — employment consequences are real and “it was hemp” is not a defence a lab report will settle
- Anyone with a personal or family history of psychosis, or a significant anxiety disorder — intoxicating cannabinoids can worsen both
- Anyone who will drive. The impairment is real regardless of the legal status
- Anyone in a state where these products are restricted, which the retailer already enforces
- Anyone expecting CBD. If you want the non-intoxicating thing, buy the non-intoxicating thing
How It Compares
| D8 Super Store | Licensed dispensary | Unvetted online seller | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product tested for potency | Yes, accredited lab | Yes, mandated | Often not |
| Contaminant testing | Not on the COA we read | Usually mandated | Rarely |
| Age verification | Stated 21+ | ID checked in person | Varies |
| Legal state restrictions enforced | Yes, per cannabinoid | By definition | Often not |
| Regulatory oversight of the product | None — FDA has not evaluated | State cannabis regulator | None |
The honest comparison: if you live somewhere with a licensed, regulated cannabis market, that market has mandatory contaminant testing and this one does not. The hemp-derived route exists largely to serve places where the regulated route does not — and a regulated product tested for solvents is the better purchase where you can make it.
Against other online hemp sellers, though, this one is towards the better end — accredited potency certificates, granular legal compliance and clear age gating are not universal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certificates of analysis on product pages from a real ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab
- Certificates carry a QR verification code, batch number and named signatories
- Product-specific state restrictions, enforced separately for D8, THCA, kratom and amanita
- Kratom restrictions tracked down to individual counties — genuine compliance work
- Clear 21+ statement and correct FDA disclaimers on every page
- States the 0.3% delta-9 position openly
- Very wide selection, free shipping over $49, discreet packaging, loyalty scheme
Cons
- The COA we read tests cannabinoids only — no residual solvent panel
- Moisture content and foreign matter explicitly marked “Not Tested”
- That omission maps exactly onto the FDA’s stated delta-8 concern
- No site-wide lab results hub; certificates must be found product by product
- The whole category is unevaluated and unapproved by the FDA
- Trading name differs from the affiliate listing, which may confuse at checkout
- No refunds for address errors; carrier problems become your problem after shipping
- Sells very potent and obscure cannabinoids such as THCP and THCH
- Age gating is a statement rather than verified ID at the point of sale
Limitations of This Review
Our general web search was unavailable, so this review is built from the retailer’s own site and policies, the FDA’s published consumer update on delta-8 THC, and one certificate of analysis that we downloaded, rendered and read in full.
The biggest gap: we examined one certificate, and it was for a CBD gummy rather than a delta-8 product. The site carries thousands of products from many brands with differing testing practices. Our finding about certificate scope is a finding about that document, and a prompt for you to check the one attached to whatever you are actually buying — not a claim that every product on the site is tested identically.
We did not check Trustpilot, the BBB, Reddit, state enforcement records or any complaint database, and we did not verify the 100,000 customers claim. We did not test the age verification, place an order, or verify the QR code resolves. We have not used any product sold on the site.
Delta-8 legality is a fast-moving patchwork and states change position regularly. The restriction lists here are the retailer’s own as published on 8 August 2026, and you should verify your own state’s current law rather than relying on a seller’s list or on us.
Nothing here is medical or legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is D8 Super Store the same as alt super store?
It appears to be the same business under a new name. d8superstore.com resolves to a site titled "alt super store," the support address is at altsuperstore.com and the footer reads "2026 alt super store." Product links now sit on the altsuperstore.com domain. Checked 8 August 2026.
Does delta-8 get you high?
Yes. The FDA states plainly that "delta-8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects, similar to delta-9 THC." It also warns that some products are "labeled simply as hemp products, which may mislead consumers who associate hemp with non-psychoactive." If you are expecting something like CBD, this is a different category of product. Adults 21 and over only.
Do they publish certificates of analysis?
Yes, on individual product pages. We downloaded one and read it: a genuine certificate from KCA Laboratories in Nicholasville, Kentucky, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited under PJLA accreditation #108651, carrying a Kentucky Department of Agriculture licence number, a QR verification code and two named signatories. It is a real document from a real accredited lab.
So what is the problem with the lab report?
Its scope. The certificate we read was a cannabinoid potency panel by HPLC-PDA. Its own summary box lists moisture content as "Not Tested" and foreign matter as "Not Tested," and it carries no panel for residual solvents, pesticides, heavy metals or microbials. It tells you how much of each cannabinoid is present. It does not tell you what else is.
Why does that matter more for delta-8 than for other products?
Because of how delta-8 is made. The FDA explains that natural delta-8 in hemp is very low, so it is produced by chemically converting CBD, and that "some manufacturers may use potentially unsafe household chemicals," that "the final delta-8 THC product may have potentially harmful by-products (contaminants)," and that manufacturing "may occur in uncontrolled or unsanitary settings." A potency-only certificate does not address any of that.
What should I ask for instead?
A certificate that includes a residual solvents panel, and ideally heavy metals, pesticides and microbials as well. That is the document that speaks to the risk the FDA has actually flagged. If a seller cannot produce one for the specific batch you are buying, that is your answer.
Which states will they not ship to?
They publish product-specific lists. Delta-8 products are not shipped to AK, CO, DE, ID, IA, MN, MT, NV, ND, OR, RI, SC, UT or VT. THCA products are not shipped to AR, ID, MN, OR or RI. They also restrict amanita muscaria in Louisiana and kratom in thirteen listed locations including several individual counties. That is unusually granular compliance work and we credit it.
How dangerous is it to have these in the house?
This is the part to take most seriously. Between January 2021 and February 2022 national poison control centres logged 2,362 delta-8 exposure cases. 41% involved patients under 18, 40% were unintentional exposures, and 82% of those unintentional exposures were paediatric. 70% required health care evaluation, 8% of those went to critical care, and one paediatric case was recorded with an outcome of death. Edibles look like sweets. Lock them away.
Verdict
3.0 / 5
A more careful retailer than most of this industry, selling a category whose main documented risk its lab reports do not measure.
We came in expecting to find no certificates and found real ones. KCA Laboratories, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, QR-verifiable, batch-numbered, signed by named people, with proper limits of detection for every analyte. That is a serious document, and much of this industry cannot produce one.
The compliance work is genuinely good too. Separate restricted-state lists for delta-8 and THCA, kratom blocked down to the level of individual counties, 21+ statements and correct FDA disclaimers throughout. Somebody there has taken the legal patchwork seriously rather than shipping everything everywhere.
But the certificate answers the wrong question. It is a cannabinoid potency panel. Moisture content: Not Tested. Foreign matter: Not Tested. Residual solvents, pesticides, heavy metals: no panel at all.
And the FDA’s central warning about delta-8 is not about strength. It is that the stuff is chemically converted from CBD, that manufacturers “may use potentially unsafe household chemicals,” that the product “may have potentially harmful by-products,” and that production “may occur in uncontrolled or unsanitary settings.” A potency test cannot see any of that.
So the practical advice is narrow and specific: open the certificate before you buy and look for a residual solvents panel. If it is not there, you know the strength and nothing about the purity — and for a synthesised cannabinoid, purity is the whole risk.
If you have access to a licensed dispensary, that market tests for contaminants by law and this one does not. If you do not, and you are 21 or over and going ahead anyway, this is a more careful seller than most — buy from brands that publish full panels, scan the QR code, start low, and lock the gummies somewhere a child will never find them.
Before You Buy — Adults 21+
Open the Certificate of Analysis on the product page and look for a residual solvents panel. The one we read was genuine and accredited but tested cannabinoids only, with moisture and foreign matter marked Not Tested and no solvent, pesticide or heavy metal panel - and since delta-8 is chemically converted from CBD, leftover reaction chemicals are the FDA’s main stated concern, which a potency test cannot detect. Scan the QR code and check the batch number matches your product. Remember that under 0.3 percent delta-9 THC is a legal threshold, not a measure of how intoxicating something is, and that THCA converts to delta-9 when heated. Delta-8 is intoxicating - do not drive, and note it can trigger a positive drug test. Most importantly: of 2,362 poison control exposure cases, 82 percent of unintentional exposures were children and one child died, so store edibles locked away in original packaging. They will not ship delta-8 to AK, CO, DE, ID, IA, MN, MT, NV, ND, OR, RI, SC, UT or VT. We earn 30 percent if you buy. Informational only, not medical or legal advice.
