A Breif Cannabinoid History Lesson

Delta 10 History

The following year delta-10 came out the following year. Same story. Just another not so potent version of THC.

Delta 9 History

When Hemp Derived Delta 9 products started to surface legally in late 2021, it's no wonder people just thought, "oh great another delta" "I want real weed" and "I don't do deltas". These have now become the common responses used when Delta 9 THC products came up in conversation.

So if thats you keep reading because Delta 9 is not just another delta.

Is Delta 9 the same as THC?

THC stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-9-THC). It is a cannabinoid molecule in marijuana (cannabis) that's long been recognized as the main psychoactive ingredient—that is, the substance that causes people who use marijuana to feel high.

Cannabis dispensaries, drug dealers, and law makers have abbreviated delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to just plain THC.

All dispensaries use THC as an abbreviation for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol
THC sold in a dispensary is always delta 9 thc unless otherwise marked
Marijuiana and Hemp are both forms of cannabis
Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10, and HHC all occur naturally in hemp cannabis and marijuiana cannabis
Marijuiana contains delta 9 THC in high enough natural concentrations to get you high. It's name was shortened to simply THC for ease of use.

Hemp Derived Delta 9 THC Is Such A Low Percentage How Can It Get Me High

We understand that you may not be able to wrap your head around how a product that has less than .3% THC in it can get you high.

Lets clarify

It's not the THC Oil percentage, that needs to be less than 0.3

It's the total ammount of THC in the product needs to be less than 0.3%

Big Difference!

The Pizza Example

Think of consuming THC like eating pepperoni's on a pizza.

1 Pepperoni = 1MG of THC

If a pizza has 15 pepperoni on it, thats equal to 15mg.

It dosn't matter how big you make the pizza the 15 pepperoni are going to feel the same.

The same goes for gummies.

When consuming any THC product pay attetion to the mg of THC not the percentage.

Is there a difference between Hemp Derived Delta 9 and THC I Get At The Dispensary?

In terms of effects there is no noticable difference between delta 9 THC from marijuiana and Delta 9 THC from hemp.

Hemp derived delta 9 THC is converted from CBD using solvents, make sure that your hemp derived delta 9 thc vendor, or any vendor for that matter can provide a full panel lab test showing the product free of solvents.

Hemp derived delta 9 THC is fedarlly legal and ships to all 50 states without a medical card provided that the products dry weight doesn't exceed .3% THC

There are currently no restrictions on how much THC you can put into a serving or how many servings you can put into a bottle.

Most THC edibles bought at a dispesnary will be 5 or 10mg as most state marijuiana regulations don't let products exceed 10mg per serving and 10 servings per package.
