What is Delta-9?

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC) is one of the many chemical compounds found in cannabis, a plant commonly known as marijuana. THC is a psychoactive compound that causes the "high" associated with marijuana use. Delta-9 THC is the most common cannabinoid found in most medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries.


THC binds to specific receptors in the brain, known as cannabinoid receptors, which are part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is involved in regulating various physiological processes, including pain, mood, appetite, and memory.


Delta-9 THC is the most well-known and abundant form of THC found in cannabis. It is responsible for the majority of the plant's psychoactive effects, including euphoria, relaxation, altered perception, and increased appetite. It is also thought to have an array of medicinal properties.


The potency of delta-9 THC varies depending on the strain of cannabis and the method of consumption. Smoking or vaporizing the plant can produce immediate and intense effects, while consuming edibles can take longer to feel the effects and may produce a more potent high.


Delta-9 THC is also the primary target of drug tests used to detect marijuana use. The compound is metabolized by the body and can be detected in urine for several days or even weeks after use.


In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential therapeutic uses of delta-9 THC and other cannabinoids. Medical marijuana programs in various states allow patients with certain conditions to use cannabis as a treatment option, with delta-9 THC as a key component.


However, it is important to note that delta-9 THC can have side effects, including anxiety, paranoia, and impaired cognitive function. It can also be addictive and has the potential for abuse. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals use caution when using cannabis products containing delta-9 THC and only do so under the guidance of a healthcare professional.


Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are no longer considered controlled substances. This change has led to a significant increase in the production and sale of hemp-derived products, including CBD, Delta-8, Delta-9, HHC, THC-O and many others. These products are now widely available in many states and are being used by people for a variety of reasons.


Here's the fun part: We can sell and ship compliant Delta-9 THC gummies to all 50 states. How? Remember that 0.3% Deta-9 threshold? Well, that's on a dry weight basis meaning we can load our gummies with 30mg of THC per gummy and send them to you LEGALLY. You heard right. LEGALLY.


In summary, delta-9 THC is the most common psychoactive compound found in cannabis that is responsible for many of the plant's effects. It is the most well-known and abundant form of THC and has both recreational and potential medicinal uses. The 2018 farm bill made products that contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC legal - meaning you can buy directly from us risk free.
