Delta-9 THC is a cannabinoid, a type of compound found naturally in the cannabis species. It is the main psychoactive component in hemp and marijuana (also known as weed or pot).
A molecule of Delta-9, or tetrahydrocannabinol, consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are other types of THC, like Delta-8, but Delta-9 is the most well-known and also the most abundant form in cannabis plants. So, the term THC usually always refers to Delta-9.
Some scientists theorize that THC offers plants protection against ultraviolet radiation. Because of its structural similarities to chemical messengers like anandamide, Delta-9 THC can interact with a network in the human body called the endocannabinoid system. For many, this interaction produces desirable and enjoyable effects.
Is Delta 9 THC Legal?
Delta-9 THC is legal on a federal basis only when derived from hemp, and Delta-9 THC products are legal as long as they have a Farm Bill-compliant concentration of Delta-9. This means the product's dry weight can be no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC.
Delta-9 THC derived from hemp at a concentration of 0.3% or lower by dry weight is legal on a federal level and in most states. When derived from marijuana or any concentration above 0.3% on a dry weight basis, it is considered a controlled substance by the federal government and many states. Hemp and marijuana are technically the same species (cannabis). They are only different in the eyes of the law. In the United States, the Delta-9-THC concentration on a dry weight basis is what separates hemp and marijuana.
Hemp, which Congress legalized through the 2018 Farm Bill, is defined as cannabis with a 0.3% or less concentration of Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Marijuana is defined as cannabis with any concentration of Delta-9 THC higher than this. Please note that this is the general status of Delta-9 legality as of this writing. Please check with your state laws before purchasing hemp products.
Delta 9 Safety and Side Effects
Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is generally considered safe when consumed in moderation. Although it is possible to feel "overwhelmed" by consuming too much of this cannabinoid, there is very little threat of physical danger. All cannabis products are meant for responsible enjoyment by adults 21 and older. If it is your first time with THC, start with a modest serving size and see how your body processes it before increasing the amount. Before trying hemp-derived D9 products, you should consult your physician.
Under no circumstances should one drive or operate machinery after consuming hemp-derived Delta-9. Women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should not consume hemp-derived Delta-9 or any cannabinoid products.
And finally, it's essential to know that there is no such thing as "childproof" packaging. Child-resistant packaging exists, but nothing is childproof. You should keep hemp-derived Delta-9 products out of the reach of children at all times.
Side effects of Delta-9 can include feeling excessively thirsty or hungry. Although it is possible to feel "overwhelmed" by consuming too much of this cannabinoid, there is very little threat of physical danger. Before trying hemp-derived Delta-9 products, you should consult your physician. Beyond that, how any cannabinoid affects someone varies from person to person.
What are The Benefits of Delta 9?
The main benefit of hemp-derived Delta-9 is its legality on a federal level. This legal status means that it can be purchased online, shipped over state lines, and delivered like many other items.
While our consumers report a plethora of benefits such as relaxation and a sense of relief, we are not at liberty to discuss any potential health benefits of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. Please consult with your doctor before taking any products containing cannabinoids.
As far as specific benefits go, many of our products have 5-star reviews from our customers that mention sleep. Some individuals may fall asleep more easily after consuming a Delta-9 THC gummy, as Delta-9 can have relaxing effects for some individuals. However, experiences with cannabis vary. If you are having chronic trouble sleeping, you should consult your doctor as this may indicate a serious medical condition known as insomnia. Our products are not intended to treat any medical conditions.
Does Delta 9 Get You High?
Yes, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is psychoactive and can therefore "get you high." Consequently, many have found that hemp-derived Delta-9 brings about feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and creativity. Others have experienced giggliness and increased hunger, also known as the munchies. The effects of Delta-9 vary. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming any Delta-9, whether from hemp or marijuana.
How Long Does It Take for Delta 9 to Kick In?
There is no universal time frame for the onset of Delta-9's effects. If you consume a standard D9 edible, you can expect effects in 45 minutes to an hour, as edibles travel through the digestive system before Delta-9 THC enters the bloodstream. This is a lengthy process but yields more intense and longer-lasting psychoactive effects than inhalation.
Conversely, an edible made with nano-emulsified Delta-9 THC will have a faster onset of effects. With these fast-acting D9 products, you can expect results in as little as 15 minutes.
Can I Test Positive on a Drug Test After Consuming Delta-9?
Yes. Drug tests are designed to detect metabolites of THC, compounds that are produced whether you consume hemp-derived Delta-9 or marijuana-derived Delta-9. Unfortunately, a drug test will not see if a metabolite was used to break down the legal or illegal form of this cannabinoid as they are chemically indistinguishable. It is best to avoid consuming any products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids if there's a drug test in the near future.
