What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta-9 THC is a cannabinoid, a type of compound found naturally in cannabis plants. 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.

Because of its similarities to chemical messengers like anandamide, Delta-9 THC can interact with a network in the human body called the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating functions like mood, sleep, and even hunger. For many, this interaction produces relaxing 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 THCWhen derived from marijuana or at any concentration above 0.3% on a dry weight basis, Delta-9 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. 

Delta 9 Safety and Side Effects

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, and most effects will wear off with time. Some guidelines to note, however, are:
  • 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 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 although child-resistant packaging exists, nothing is childproof. You should keep cannabis products out of the reach of children at all times. 
  • General side effects of Delta-9 include feeling excessively thirsty or hungry. Beyond that, how any cannabinoid affects someone varies from person to person.

Does Delta 9 Get You High?

Yes, Delta-9 THC is psychoactive, so Delta-9 products can indeed "get you high." 

Regarding what a THC high feels like, many have found that this compound brings about feelings of euphoria, deep relaxation, and bursts of creativity. Others have experienced giggliness and increased hunger, also known as the munchies. 

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 fast-acting THC products, you can expect results in as little as 15 minutes.

Can I Test Positive on a Drug Test After Consuming Delta-9?

Yes, you can test positive on a drug test after consuming Delta-9 products. Drug tests are designed to detect metabolites of THC, compounds that your body produces whether you consume hemp-derived or marijuana-derived Delta-9. Unfortunately, drug tests can't tell 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 you have to take a drug test in the near future.
