Is Delta 9 Legal in Oregon?

Delta-9 is legal in Oregon but Hometown Hero doesn't currently ship there.

If you're curious about Delta-9 products and what they have to offer, you’ve come to the right place. Read on while we go over the legality of Delta-9 THC, the effects, and where you can purchase Delta-9 products.

Is Delta 9 THC Legal to Purchase in Oregon?

You probably already know that the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized the production of hemp. However, this may have you curious—is Delta 9 THC legal in Oregon?

To give you the short answer—yes! As of this writing, all cannabinoids and products that derive from hemp, including CBD, Delta 8, and Delta 9, are federally legal.

Believe it or not, since November 2014, recreational marijuana has been legal in Oregon with some restrictions. This means that you can legally purchase cannabis products, including those that contain Delta-9 THC. However, there are limits on how much you can buy at one time. 

It may also be worth noting that cannabis products used here must comply with Oregon’s laws and regulations. However, it should be noted that you can travel in between states with hemp-derived Delta-9. 

Here are some specifics of the hemp laws in Oregon:

 Chapter 603 - Division 48 - INDUSTRIAL HEMP

OAR 603-048-0010- Definitions:

(15) “Hemp Item” has the meaning provided in OAR 603-048-2310.

What’s Delta-9 THC?

We know that over 113 cannabinoids can be extracted from the multiplex hemp plant. You may have heard of a few of the most popular constituents, including Delta 9, Delta 8, and CBD (cannabidiol).

Delta-9 THC used to only be associated with marijuana, but not anymore. Delta-9 THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is one of many natural compounds found in both hemp and marijuana plants.

Where to Buy Legal Delta 9 THC in Oregon

Buying Delta 9 edibles in Oregon is relatively simple. In fact, you can purchase cannabis products right at your local marijuana dispensary. 

On the other hand, some people may be looking for a more discreet option. If it’s derived from hemp, you can also legally buy Delta 9 products online in Oregon with a credit or debit card. 

Although it’s a common misconception, Delta-9 THC is not “weed” in every context. It must appear in concentrations greater than 0.3% on a dry weight basis or be sourced from marijuana to be labeled as such.

If you want to try something new, check out Hometown Hero’s Select Spectrum products. They are made with a blend of natural hemp-derived cannabinoids such as CBD and Delta 9 to give you the perfect entourage effect.

Remember, you must be 21 years of age to purchase cannabis products in Oregon legally.

What Are the Effects of Delta 9 THC?

Cannabis enthusiasts know that each cannabinoid is likely to affect the body. However, the effects may vary depending on what constituent is consumed.

When it comes to taking Delta-9, some connoisseurs have reported feeling:

  • Calm
  • Uplifted
  • Relaxed

Our products are likely to promote some of these feelings, but remember that effects may vary. When trying Delta-9 gummies for the first time, we recommend starting with a small amount. You can always work your way up to a more considerable amount if you think you need more. 

What’s the Difference Between Delta 8 and Delta 9?

People may think there’s no difference between Delta-8 and Delta-9 since they are both cannabinoids that are extracted from the hemp plant. However, each of these elements brings on its own unique effects.

The fundamental difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9 is in the molecular arrangement. They have the same chemical formula, but Delta-9 has a chemical bond on the ninth carbon chain, while Delta-8’s chemical bond is on the eighth carbon chain. 

These differences are what cause you to feel different effects on the body. 

While Delta-9 is known to bring on feelings of euphoria, connectedness, and relaxation, Delta-8’s properties have different effects. If you are trying Delta-9 or Delta-9 THC for the first time, start with a small amount. You can always take more if you want.

Is Delta-9 Safe?

Delta-9 is generally safe. You should never drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery after taking hemp products that contain Delta-9 or any form of THC. 

While there is little threat of physical danger while taking Delta 9, some people have felt a bit “overwhelmed” after taking too much. 

Like anything in life, moderation is vital, especially when experimenting with Delta-9 products for the first time. If you may have taken too much, try to find an activity to ease your mind. We recommend relaxing, listening to music, or reading your favorite novel.
