WHAT IS

DELTA-9 THC?

Delta-9 THC is the principal component in cannabis that produces the “high” feeling associated with marijuana, even more so than Δ8THC, however the structural difference between the two compounds comes down to the placement of a double bond (at the 9th chain for Δ9THC & the 8th chain for Δ8THC).

Delta-9 THC vs. Delta-8 THC

Here are some of the most notable differences between Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC:

  • Slightly different molecular structure – this creates a significant difference when it comes to subjective effects.
  • Both Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC are found naturally in the cannabis plant, however Delta-9 THC occurs in much higher concentrations. Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC is created from isomerization of CBD, in a similar manner to Delta-8 THC.
  • Delta-9 THC creates a slightly more potent psychoactive effect.
  • Delta-9 THC is regulated in hemp products, down to a level of .03 percent, unlike Delta-8 THC in states where it is legal for purchase.
  • Both Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC have similar side effects, however Delta-8 THC is known to produce less mental ‘fogginess’ and anxiety.

Potential Benefits of Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC

Delta-9 THC and other forms of THC have some benefits for CBD users, though the more potent Delta-9 may be warranted for consumers that need more of the relaxing effect from THC. Also, some users of hemp-derived products may find that they prefer CBD without any form of THC at all due to a sensitivity to THC, regardless of the type of THC.

How Does Delta-9 THC Make You Feel?

For cannabis users, Delta 9 intensity is much different than that of Delta-8 THC, which is known to produce less mental ‘fogginess’ and anxiety versus traditional Delta-9 THC. CBD does not produce any sort of ‘high’, and is best suited for those who are seeking other benefits from their hemp products.

Is Cannabis Hemp?

Both Marijuana and Hemp are a species of Cannabis Sativa L plants. However, Hemp was made legal when the Farm Bill of 2018 was passed. That legislation decriminalized hemp-derived products so long as that variety contained less than .3% THC by dry weight. This opened the door for many wholesalers and retailers to invest in the product. Hemp sales rose dramatically and is currently on an upward trend.

Delta-9 THC Gummies

Our new gummies are classified as hemp, not marijuana, for two reasons:

  1. The Delta-9 THC we use originates from the Hemp plant, not cannabis.
  2. The 2018 Farm Bill mandates that all hemp-derived products contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Our gummies meet this threshold, and as such, are allowed to be purchased and possessed by anyone over the age of 21.

Our Delta-9 THC complex gummies contain approximately 10 mg of Delta-9 THC as well as 10mg of Delta-8 THC. Since D9 is regulated, we must divide the concentration of Delta-9 THC by the total weight of each gummy, which is around 6 grams (6,000 mg). After doing the math, 0.3% of Delta-9 THC is about 10 mg. Maintaining this level of potency is essential to remain compliant with current hemp legislation.

Delta-9 THC Liquid Gummy Shots

Our Delta-9 THC shots are made with a complex of Delta-8 & Delta-9 THC and pack a powerful punch! Being emulsified in liquid, our shots kick in faster than traditional solid edibles. We’re sure you’ll appreciate the difference.

The same principles governing THC concentrations in gummies also apply to our tasty Delta-9 THC Shots, which are currently available in Sour Apple, Blue Razz, Mixed Berry, Citrus Orange, and Fruit Punch flavors. Since our shots are in 60ml in size, that’s 60,000mg. At 0.3% concentration, that would mean they could contain up to 150mg of THC per unit in theory. Our 60ml shots contain 100mg of Delta-9 THC Complex – so they are well under the legal limit.

  • Each has slightly different health and wellness benefits, and research into these compounds is ongoing.
