What is Delta 9?

Delta 9 is one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids within the cannabis plant. Researchers have identified it as the cannabinoid with the most amount of psychoactivity. Many people new to cannabis compare Delta 9 to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) due to similar effects and therapeutic benefits. Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors within the body’s endocannabinoid system. Just like Delta 8, Delta 10, THCa, and HHC, Delta 9 produces an uplifting, euphoric effect that can increase focus and energy. Research has shown Delta 9 THC to have medical benefits including anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.

What are the Effects of Delta 9?

Many enthusiasts report that Delta 9 has a very strong and enjoyable euphoria and relaxation effect. When Delta 9 is inhaled from a vaporizer cartridge the effects are almost immediate. If Delta 9 is eaten in a gummy or baked good, it can take thirty minutes to an hour to feel any effects. Depending on a person’s tolerance, these effects can last anywhere from two to four hours and sometimes longer.

What are Some Delta 9 Benefits?

Delta 9 THC is used by many for its effects, but many more use it for its therapeutic benefits. It can help individuals interested in improving chronic pain, reducing stress, and increasing appetite.

Other Delta 9 benefits include:

• Improved relaxation
• Better sleep quality
• Uplifted mood
• Increased levels of creativity, focus, or motivation

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second most prevalent cannabinoid within the cannabis plant. It does not create any kind of psychoactive effect when smoked or ingested. However, it does have many of the same therapeutic benefits as Delta 9. CBD interacts with the CB1 receptor in the endocannabinoid system, but it bonds much better to the CB2 receptors. It has also been shown to slow the degradation of the body’s natural endocannabinoids, which are the chemical signals sent to reduce pain and inflammation. Research has shown that CBD has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), analgesic (pain relieving), and neuroprotective properties.

What are the Effects of CBD?

CBD by itself does not have any psychoactive or euphoric effects when smoked or ingested. Many consumers look for labels that say “THC free CBD” or “CBD without THC”, so they can enjoy the health benefits of CBD with none of the effects of Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10 or other psychoactive cannabinoids.

What are Some CBD Benefits?

CBD has been studied extensively in the last thirty years. The strongest scientific evidence suggests CBD is most effective against diseases that don’t respond to anti-seizure medication. Epidiolex is the first cannabis-derived medicine approved by the FDA to treat seizures.

Other CBD benefits include:

• Anxiety reduction
• Improved sleep
• Pain relief
• Anti-inflammation
• Reduce cravings for tobacco
• Appetite stimulant
• Antibacterial

What is the Difference Between Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10, and CBD?

The biggest difference between Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10, and CBD is the intoxicating or psychoactive effects. Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10 all induce some kind of euphoria when smoked or eaten. Delta 9 is considered to have the strongest effects. Reports differ on whether Delta 8 or Delta 10 has a stronger effect, but all agree they are not as strong as Delta 9. CBD has no intoxicating or psychoactive effects at all. Even though there is no “high” associated with CBD, it has all the therapeutic benefits of Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10, plus a few more.

What are THC Edibles?

THC edibles are any foods that have been infused with Delta 9 THC or any of the other psychoactive cannabinoids. THC edibles can be brownies, candies, gummies, seltzers, mints, and cereal bars. They can be made using Delta 8, Delta 9, Delta 10, HHC, THCP, THCB, THCH, or THCV. To create a full-spectrum euphoria, also known as the entourage effect, many THC edibles may also contain CBD, CBG, CBC, or CBN.

How Long Does it Take for THC Edibles to Take Effect?

THC edibles can take thirty minutes to an hour before any effects are felt. These cannabis products need to be digested before the body can absorb the cannabinoids. Enthusiasts who are new to THC edibles should start with half the recommended dose and wait the full hour to see if any effects are felt. If there are none felt, then consume the other half of the recommended dose. This low and slow method helps to curb overconsumption of the cannabinoids which could lead to adverse effects, such as stomach ache.

How Long Does the Effects of THC Edibles Last?

Once the effects of THC edibles begin, they can last anywhere from two to four hours before completely wearing off. Some consumers have reported that effects have lasted longer, but that the intense euphoria is usually done in the first two to four hours.
