Delta-9 Edibles

Delta-9 edibles are edibles that contain hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, which is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis.

These delicious Delta-9 products are sold in various forms, such as chewy gummies, chocolate bars, fudgy brownies, sour candies, taffy and caramels, and even gooey cereal crispy treats. The THC content of our hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles ranges from 10mg of Delta-9 THC, 25mg of Delta-9 THC, and even 100mg of Delta-9 THC. 

Yes, Delta-9 edibles are federally legal as long as the Delta-9 THC is derived from hemp and doesn't exceed 0.3% of a product's dry weight. So, our Delta-9 THC edibles are legal in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. You can take a Delta-9 edible anywhere you want in the U.S.

Delta-9 edibles are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and state adaptations of it. Under this legislation, the United States Congress legalized hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids.

Hemp and marijuana are the same species—cannabis. Their only difference is a legal one. Hemp is cannabis with a 0.3% or lower concentration of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and is legal on a federal level. On the other hand, marijuana is still a controlled substance (not federally legal), since it contains more than a 0.3% concentration of Delta-9 THC.

This definition and concentration limit also applies to consumable cannabis products. Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC edibles are legal because the Delta-9 THC in these edibles is derived from hemp plants, and the content of Delta-9 does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis. 

You can find hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles at a CBD store near you or, more conveniently, get them delivered from our online store. Due to the federal legal status of hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles, you can purchase them online in any state if you are 21 years of age or older. Buying Delta-9 edibles online is as quick and easy as buying anything else.

Not only does our site offer free shipping on every order, but with our priority shipping policy you won't have to wait long for your Delta-9 edibles to arrive in the mail.

For an adult, there is no threat of physical danger by consuming Delta-9 edibles unless you have an allergy to one of the ingredients. However, consuming too many hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles can feel unpleasant and overwhelming.

Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking hemp-derived Delta-9. Women who are nursing, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant should not take hemp-derived Delta-9 products. There is no such thing as “childproof” packaging, just child-resistant. Please keep hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles out of the reach of children.

There's no universal serving size for Delta-9 edibles, since everyone's body processes THC differently, but there is a universal rule: go low and slow. This approach means you start with a small portion of an edible and wait for the effects to fully settle in before increasing the amount. Compared to smoking or vaping, the effects of all edibles take longer to kick in, but last longer and may even be more intense. So be patient.

Also, pay attention to the milligram count and blend. If you're new to THC, we recommend you start with a 10mg THC + CBD gummy or a small bite of a THC + CBD cereal bite rather than eating a whole 100mg Delta-9 gummy. CBD may temper the effects of THC, providing a smoother onset.

Generally speaking, the effects of edibles will last longer than other ways of consuming hemp-derived Delta-9 (inhalation, tinctures). However, how long hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles last will vary depending on what type of edible you're considering. On top of that, the cannabinoid content can vary from 10mg to 100mg. Then, there’s the factor that cannabinoids affect everyone a bit differently. 

What makes our edibles the best is first our dedication to quality. At Hometown Hero, we do not cut corners when it comes to finding the finest ingredients to make our edibles taste delicious and deliver a good experience. We work with a historical confectionary to make our saltwater taffies, and a local bakery to make our cereal bites. Our Delta-9 edibles are all emulsified with butter (in our Cereal Bites and brownies) or MCT coconut oil (in the case of our vegan gummies) since we know fats can help boost your bioavailability, or how fast your body absorbs THC. 

The second reason Hometown Hero edibles are the best is our dedication to safety. All of our products are tested by a third-party laboratory that is registered with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). This lab not only tests for cannabinoid content, but also tests for any potential contaminants. For transparency, we make sure that our lab results are available to our customers. You can see for yourself on every Certificate of Analysis (COA) the safety and prestige of our edibles. These COAs are linked on our product pages and packaging via QR code for quick access.

The main difference between Delta-9 edibles and Delta-8 edibles is the cannabinoids used. Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both forms of tetrahydrocannabinol, aka “THC.” Delta-8's chemical structure is similar to Delta-9, thus it is also psychoactive and induces a high when consumed.

However, Delta-8 produces milder effects and less potency on a milligram-by-milligram basis. What should also be noted is that hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products are legal in all 50 states while Delta-8 products are legal in most, but not all.
