What is Delta-9 THC?
Good question. Delta-9 THC is one of the primary active ingredients in cannabis varieties, including hemp. Delta-9 THC is what’s called a cannabinoid. That just means it activates your body’s endocannabinoid system en route to providing centeredness, upliftment, and balance.
While hemp produces hundreds of cannabinoids and a handful of different types of THC, most people who mention “THC” are talking about delta-9 THC. Other THC isomers, like delta-8 THC and delta-10 THC, are synthetically produced. Not delta-9!
Is Delta 9 THC Legal?
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is also yes — it just depends on where it comes from. Hemp-derived delta-9 is fully legal thanks to 2018’s Federal Farm Bill, which rightfully removed hemp from its former status as a controlled substance.
There’s just one catch: products must contain 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight or less. Thanks to delta-9 THC’s potency, however, this 0.3% can fuel plenty of good vibes! It’s also more than it sounds like.
Is Delta-9 THC good for me?
It sure can be. The right dose of delta-9 THC can be uplifting, energizing, and relaxing, all at once. Customers say delta-9 THC supports their sleep, their mood, their productivity, and more.
Delta-9’s ability to activate CB1 receptors within your brain means it provides far-reaching effects without causing noticeable dependency. Speaking of the right dose, moderation is everything!
