If you haven’t heard of Delta 9, you will. It is quickly becoming a conversation piece around the nation. Most people equate THC solely with marijuana, but Delta 9 is derived from the hemp plant. CBD products offer you all the advantages that cannabinoids without the euphoric high of Delta 8, or marijuana. Delta 9 is a compound that not only gives you the same benefits of CBD, but also the high that THC derived from marijuana does.
What is Delta 9 THC?
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or D9 for short, is the most prominent cannabinoid in the Cannabis Sativa plant. Other popular cannabinoids are CBD, CBG, CBN, CBV, etc.
Delta-9-THC is the only natural cannabinoid that creates that intoxicating feeling of being high. It is found in both marijuana and hemp and was discovered in 1942. THC has amazing medicinal properties with proper and responsible use.
THC Can Play an Important Part in the Well-Being of Your ECS
THC, as with other cannabinoids, interacts with 2 types of receptors in our body called CB1 and CB2 that are part of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a fatty acid system in humans and animals. Your ECS works to create homeostasis (balance) of many functions in the body. It helps maintain physiological, emotional, and cognitive stability. Your ECS plays a role in regulating sleep, mood, pain sensation, memory, appetite, inflammation, and many other functions. THC can play an important part in the well-being of your ECS.
Why is Delta 9 extracted from hemp legal?
In an earlier blog, we learned that hemp and marijuana are from the same plant, Cannabis Sativa, but are legally differentiated by the amount of THC cultivated in the plant.
- If the THC level is over 0.3%, it is deemed marijuana
- If the THC level is under 0.3% on a dry weight basis, it is known as hemp
- Male hemp plants grow tall with no medicinal buds and can provide valuable raw materials for many industrial uses, like clothing, insulation, paper, mulch, animal bedding, and more.
- Female hemp plants are mostly medicinal and are short and stocky with big buds full of sticky resins, including cannabinoids and terpenes. These rich buds create the hemp extract products on the market today.
