Frequently Asked Questions
What is Delta 8‐THC?
Delta 8‐THC or Delta 8‐Tetrahydrocannabinol is a new, cutting edge cannabinoid (derived from Hemp) which carries psychoactive effects and euphoric feelings associated with the typical properties associated with cannabis use.
Additionally, Delta 8‐THC is known for its anti‐nausea, anti‐anxiety, appetite stimulating and stress reducing properties.
What is Delta 9‐THC?
Delta 9‐THC or Delta 9‐Tetrahydrocannabinol is the traditional version of THC and is the active ingredient in the Marijuana plant. This cannabinoid is responsible for the psychoactive effects experienced after consuming a marijuana product.
What is the difference in Delta 8‐THC and Delta 9‐THC?
Both Delta 8‐THC and Delta 9‐THC produce euphoric psychoactive effects on users and carry a wide variety of medical and recreational benefits.
How is Delta 8‐THC legal to produce and sell in the USA?
Since products contain only Delta 8‐THC made from 100% Hemp extract, companies are able to fully legally manufacture, distribute and sell to consumers in the United States. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, ratified and signed into law in December 2018, Cannabis containing less than 0.3% Delta 9‐THC is legally classified as Hemp and thus is legal for all intents and purposes under federal law. Let’s also not forget, THC itself isn’t federally illegal.
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
The difference in CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is that CBD doesn’t carry the psychoactive effects that THC does. CBD can be used for numerous health reasons but it will never give the consumer the psychoactive
effects that Delta 8 and Delta 9 would provide. THC carries most, if not all benefits of CBD, but also introduces the “high” euphoric feeling which can be hugely beneficial for many users.
What does “Hemp Derived THC” mean?
“Hemp Derived THC” means that the THC is entirely produced from Hemp. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, which clarifies that
“Hemp” is any cannabis plant containing less than 0.3% Delta 9‐THC, Hemp is federally legal for all purposes under federal law. Marijuana or any cannabis plant containing more than 0.3% Delta 9‐THC is not used in any “Hemp Derived THC” product.
How old do you have to be to purchase Delta 8‐THC?
While there are no federal regulations setting the minimum age required to purchase Delta 8‐THC, there are several
state regulations mandating that consumers must be 21 years or older to purchase. For this reason, you must be 21
years or older to purchase any products both online and in store.
Is it legal to have Delta 8‐THC sent through the mail?
Absolutely, Delta 8‐THC can be sent through the United States Postal Service (USPS), UPS, FEDEX, DHL etc…. legally.
Thanks to a clarification published in the USPS regulations, Hemp products (just like Delta 8‐THC) can safely and legally
be shipped within the United States. Meeting the Federal 2018 Farm Bill.
What Does Delta 8 THC High Feel Like Compared to Delta 9 THC?
Since delta 9 THC is stronger than delta 8, it has a higher chance of overstimulating the CB1 receptor. Delta 9 THC has a biphasic nature. In low and moderate doses, it can promote relaxation, euphoria, giggly mood, and relief from tension. However, higher doses — especially in reactive individuals — can cause it to backfire, triggering anxiety and paranoia. That’s because our brain gets fooled that more anandamide is being produced than it actually needs. Anandamide is one of the two major endocannabinoids produced by our bodies; it’s often called the bliss molecule due to its influence on our emotional well-being. Interestingly, it has a similar molecular structure to THC. When you take delta 8 THC, it doesn’t stimulate the CB1 receptor to such an extent as delta 9 THC. Therefore, the risk of anxiety and paranoia is much lower. You can feel high but still in control, unlike with delta 9.
