Delta-9 THC is a compound naturally found in the cannabis species, including hemp and marijuana. It is one of over 160 cannabinoids and the primary psychoactive component in the plant. Because of its structure, Delta-9 THC can interact with a receptive network in the human body called the "endocannabinoid system," producing enjoyable effects for many individuals who consume it.

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC at a concentration of 0.3% or lower by dry weight is legal on a federal level. In most states, the commercial production, sale, and purchase of Delta-9 products by adults 21 and older are permitted. Rest assured that at Hometown Hero, we make our Delta-9 products from hemp at compliant concentration levels of THC.

The cannabis plant is rich in aromatic terpenes and naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids, the most commonly discussed of which are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Delta-8 THC is the less intense isomer of Delta-9 THC, the psychoactive component of hemp. Delta-8 is often concentrated from organic CBD oil and infused into gummies, tinctures, and capsules. Although it isn't found in high enough concentrations to be harvested independently, Delta-8 distillate can be added to CBD flower to make Delta-8 Flower.

The legality of Delta-8 products depends on where you live and whether you're at least 21. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived Delta-8 THC is legal on a federal level and in most states. Unlike Delta-9 THC, the concentration levels of Delta-8 THC in a product on a dry-weight basis are not federally regulated. Therefore, various forms of Delta-8 THC (such as gummies, tinctures, capsules, and edibles) can be legally purchased by adults 21 and older in most states. However, some state governments have enacted independent bans on all Delta-8 THC products, so before purchasing Delta-8 products, check in with your state laws first.

Delta-10-tetrahydrocannabinol is a naturally occurring compound in cannabis plants. As it is only found in small quantities, manufacturers often synthesize this cannabinoid from CBD or Delta-9. Delta-10 is an isomer of Delta-9, meaning they have the same chemical formula with a slight difference in their molecular arrangement. This accounts for the shared effects between the two forms of THC: Delta-10 is said to produce an enjoyable experience of euphoria, only it is more uplifting as opposed to soothing.

Hemp-derived Delta-10 THC is legal on a federal level according to the 2018 Farm Bill. However, some state governments have enacted bans on this cannabinoid, so it's best to check with your state's laws to be safe.

THCV is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found predominantly in Sativa strains of cannabis, which are known for their uplifting effects. Although more research is necessary to validate these findings, recent studies suggest that THCV can potentially reduce anxiety and stress, suppress appetite, and defend the nervous system.

Like Delta-9 THC, THCV from hemp is legal on a federal level in concentrations of 0.3% or lower, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. However, many states have enacted individual bans on THC products altogether, so check with your state's laws to be safe.

THCP is a cannabinoid that was discovered in 2019. Since THCP is only naturally found in small concentrations, it is usually synthesized from THC rather than extracted directly from cannabis. The exact benefits of this cannabinoid are not fully known yet, but it shares a similar chemical structure to THC, only more potent. Its affinity for ECS (Endocannabinoid System) receptors is reported to be anywhere from 30 to 33x more than THC.

Like Delta-9 THC, THCP from hemp is legal on a federal level in concentrations of 0.3% or lower, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. However, many states have enacted individual bans on THC products altogether, so check with your state's laws to be safe.
