What is THC Syrup?
Simply put, it's syrup with THC in it. "THC" stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, a family of psychoactive constituents derived from the cannabis species. There are several variations of THC, such as Delta-8 or Delta-10, along with compounds similar to it, such as THCP, THCV, and THCA. However, most often, when "THC" is mentioned by itself, it usually means delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or just "Delta-9" for short.
Syrup is a thick, sticky solution that consists primarily of syrup and water. There are many different forms of syrup out there, such as the classic maple syrup that goes on pancakes, cane syrup, corn syrup, and agave syrup.
There is an extensive range of THC syrups out there on the market composed of various syrup types and variations of THC. Some THC syrup bottles have a label that says "THC lean," which is a reference to a hazardous beverage that's both an inaccurate parallel to real THC syrup and paints the hemp industry in a bad light. You should avoid brands that label their syrup this way.
Our THC syrup consists of a few simple, natural ingredients- nano-emulsified MCT oil, nano-emulsified Delta-9 THC, organic agave syrup, and water. Using nano-emulsified versions of MCT oil and Delta-9 makes them water-soluble and more easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
How do you use THC Syrup?
You can enjoy THC syrup bottles in the same way that you would any other syrup- except, since you're working with a psychoactive compound, you'll want to practice discretion with your servings. A measuring spoon comes in handy when serving a precise amount of Delta-9. Put it on pancakes, use it as granulated sugar, use it as a vegan substitute for honey, add it to a cooking recipe, or just savor a spoonful.
The most important factor when implementing THC syrup in the kitchen is to be aware of Delta-9 THC's boiling point of 311–315 °F. In some instances, if you cook with THC syrup, the compound may boil off when it reaches this temperature, thus wasting the THC. However, if you are baking with it, the THC can be preserved if the internal temperature of what you're cooking doesn't reach this vs. the external temperature of the oven.
What can you mix THC syrup with?
You can mix THC syrup with just about anything. We recommend using it in mocktails that call for some sort of syrup or sugar, or perhaps a latte where you would add sugar or a pump of vanilla syrup. The best way to enjoy THC syrup is to substitute it in recipes that call for granulated sugar or honey. However, whatever you want to mix THC syrup with is limited to your imagination and personal taste preferences.
How long do THC syrup effects last?
The duration of effects for our THC syrup is in line with nano-emulsified THC (often called "fast-acting THC"), which typically lasts for a few hours but not as long as THC distillate, which can last up to ~12 hours. The reason why we can't give a definitive answer to this is because everyone processes THC a bit differently. If you're trying THC syrup for the first time, do so in a safe, controlled environment before a day off from work or other obligations.
How long does it take for THC syrup to kick in?
Because THC syrup uses nano-emulsified THC, the effects can set in as short as roughly 15 minutes. As mentioned before, everyone processes THC a bit differently, and factors such as consuming THC on a full or empty stomach can come into play when it comes to the onset of effects such as happiness, giggles, and relaxation.
