Delta 9 is the cannabis compound notorious for delivering electric vibes, good feels, and red-eyed giggles. It’s the molecule that gets you baked, nice ’n’ toasty. With its potent powers, delta 9 has been gettin’ folks faded since before time. It’s the molecule that enlightened our primitive ancestors and the torch Bob Dylan passed on to Paul and Ringo, the vessel that carried Carl Sagan through the cosmos, and, with the help of federal legislation, it’s the crown jewel for a budding marketplace. Cultures around the world have cheefed this compound, munched on it, and packed it pristinely into delicious, unevenly dosed brownies for decades.
In today’s age (the Gen Z generation), we’re taking a different route—one paved with lab-tested vapes and precisely dosed edibles. Gone are the days of homemade weed gummies and back-alley vape pens. The general consensus around cannabis has changed, and it’s time we change with it.
In this article, we’ll cram your head full of everything you need to know about delta 9 THC. We’ll answer your most pressing questions, while also introducing you to our suite of safe, lab-tested delta 9 products. We’ll show you how to use ’em and recommend some personal faves. Wherever you are (whenever you are), consider this your own personal one-on-one with a budtender. But it ain’t a date! (Or is it …)
Bust Out the Cannabinoids
First stop, we gotta understand what delta-9 is before we can unpack what it does. Delta-9 THC is a cannabinoid—one of over a hundred teeming inside the flower buds of a cannabis plant. You’ve no doubt heard of other cannabinoids, like CBD, CBG, and CBN. Hell, maybe you’ve even taken some CBD before to find your zen-filled center. But THC is one of the very few to deliver rip-roarin’, mind-itchin’, euphoric effects. It packs a punch, whether in vapes, gummies, syrups, or smokey prerolls. This cannabinoid is the cannabinoid for good times, fun vibes, and notorious nights. So, get to know its name.
THC vs. CBD
The other most notable, most dignified, most culturally iconic cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD). In fact, it’s the most abundant hemp-based cannabinoid. This puppy is more therapeutic than THC and offers zero psychoactive effects whatsoever. CBD only delivers relaxing, soothing effects that blanket your mind and body with warm, loosey-goosey feels. For a one-two punch, we combine CBD with THC in our Peach Pear Delta-9 Gummies, letting you indulge in a little wellness to balance out your bliss. These gummies come loaded with 10 mg of both CBD and delta-9 THC each.
What Is Delta-9 THC?
Alright, we’re gettin’ more in the weeds with this weed science. But don’t complain; you’re having fun. Weed science is the best kind of science. If only they taught us weed science in school, how different all our lives would be … (psssh, I’d still be a cannabis writer, and you’d still love dabbling in the delta arts!)
If we bust out the microscope and slide a single THC molecule under the viewfinder, we’d see that the molecule’s got a long tail. On this tail, you’ll find a variety of different THC compounds. Each of these little fellas delivers euphoric effects that wash over your mind and body, but none is as influential, as powerful as delta-9 THC. This THC molecule is the feature act, taking up the most space and offering the most potent effects. But the others still play in the background, harboring a ton of Friday-night potential.
Delta-9 THC vs. Delta-8 THC
In the world of legalized hemp goods, another THC molecule has taken the market by storm, delivering mega-fun, mega-fresh effects. Delta 8 THC is a lesser-known THC molecule that’s quickly becoming a fan favorite, thanks to its unique cerebral sprinkles. Compared to delta-9, delta 8 delivers more muted, slightly less psychoactive effects. But these effects are still euphoric, helping you ascend to a pleasant, peaceful planetary state of baked. This state just isn’t quite as strong as delta-9.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: who wants to get mildly baked? Well, the funny answer is: just about everyone. The art of microdosing has taken over, and adults of all ages are settling in for a minorly elevated feel. Everyone from your retired, crotchety neighbor to your Deadhead grandmother has fallen in love with the ritual of microdosing. And delta 8 products, specifically delta 8 gummies, let you doctor a dose fit for your THC tolerance. Plus, because it isn’t as strong as other THC cannabinoids, delta 8 lets you indulge in a mild elevated feeling that guides you through your day on Stoney Cloud Nine.
How to Savor the Delta-9 Nectar?
Now, there are many ways to enjoy the sweet, sweet effects of delta-9 THC. You can puff this cannabinoid, munch it, or sip it—each option taking you down a different path of radical euphoria.
Type of Delta-9 Product | Effects set in …** | Effects last for …** | Recommended Product |
Vapes | Minutes, if not seconds | 30 minutes to two hours | Candyland Live Rosin Liquid Diamonds Vape Pen |
Gummies | 30 minutes to two hours | Six to eight hours | Mango Delta-9 Gummies |
Syrups | 30 minutes to two hours | Six to eight hours after last sip | Watermelon Felon Delta-9+ Syrup |
**Average estimated timeframe. Timeline varies from person to person based on bioavailability factors
Puff-Worthy Delta-9 Vapes
First, make some room in your pockets, ’cause these little contraptions are about to go with you everywhere. Delta-9 vape pens are pre-filled, pre-charged e-cigs that come locked and loaded with hemp-derived delta-9 THC vape juice. We’ve crafted our suite of delta-9 vapes from a number of classic cannabis strains—all to pepper your taste buds and brain buds with puffs of psychoactive nostalgia.
When you take a puff of a THC vape, the cannabinoids in that tasty vapor cloud filter through your lungs and do a squadron barrel-roll into your bloodstream, set to deliver good vibes almost immediately. So, when you take a hit, effects set in within a couple of minutes, if not seconds.
Long-lasting Delta-9 Gummies
To further funkify the feels, you can opt for delicious, fruit-flavored delta-9 THC gummies. Gummies, like other edibles, break apart along your digestive tract, taking a long time to reach your liver, where they catapult into your bloodstream and charge your mind with unadulterated disco fever. But this process takes time—typically, around 30 minutes to two hours. How baked you get (and how fast it happens) is gonna be different than your buddy next to you. Your height, weight, and body composition all play a factor in bioavailability, which can speed up or slow down the gummy’s effects.
Seriously Trippy Delta-9 Syrups
Alright, alright. You can vape and munch all you want, but what about a little something more nuanced? Well, we’ve got a way for you to indulge your sweet tooth and enjoy a few psychoactive sips. Our collection of delta-9 THC syrups includes Watermelon Felon Delta-9+ Syrup and Bussin’ Berry Delta-9+ Syrup; both come with 1000mg of potent, decadent D9 THC—plus some mighty tasty fruit flavors! Add these syrups to your favorite drink to concoct your own buzzed beverages or slurp ’n’ sip that s*** straight to enjoy the effects all at once.
What Are the Effects of Delta-9?
It’s a little more pow and less bam! A little more woah and less awe. A little more whammy and less blammie! This makes sense, right? No? Well, of course, it doesn’t! Delta-9 affects everyone differently. What you’d call pow, your friend would call whammy. And what they’d call bam, you’d call an ineffective microdose. How delta-9 affects you varies by the product (vape vs. edible), your THC tolerance, and how much you took. But, while there’s no way to really know how delta-9 THC will affect you, there are a few classic effects that come during and after a delta-9 rendezvous:
- Strong cerebral effects
- Munchies (I would hate to be a bag of chips)
- Giggly mood
- Cloudy euphoria
- Relaxed body
- Heightened creativity
Delta-9, Drug Tests & You
A drug test. Just the thought of it might make you want to go on a spontaneous, unending T-break. But since these products are made from legal hemp, they shouldn’t lead to a false positive, right? Well, unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Way back when drug tests were first invented, they were designed to discern THC molecules in a sample. Since THC in a sample proved marijuana use (the federally illegal cannabis plant), this was believed to be an effective way to test. But nowadays, not all THC molecules have marijuana origins. Nowadays, a bulk of the THC we fun-lovers enjoy stems from legal, hemp-based products. But, sadly, drug tests have not kept up with the times. These tests still can’t delineate THC molecules from marijuana and hemp—they’ll only show if THC is in the sample.
Wanna Dabble in Delta-9?
Be honest; all this sounds mighty fun. D9 THC is a potent compound that’s as versatile as it is approachable. Gone are the days of getting too baked too fast. Now, you can fine-tune your proper dose and enjoy a gradual rise of elevated euphoria. Here are a few tips I’d follow for first-timers:
With Edibles, Less Is More
If you haven’t taken a D9 THC edible before, start off small. One of our D9 THC gummies tends to be a good dose for mild to moderate THC enjoyers. If you’re completely new to the baked lyfe, start with half a gummy. Trust me. You don’t want to take too much too soon and get too elevated. After a couple of hours, you’ll feel the full effects of half a dose. If you want a stronger dose, take a full gummy next time, space cadet. If you want an even tamer euphoria, bite a smaller pinch off the gummy next time. You can always take more; you can never take less.
Put the Vape on a Charger
Our D9 vapes come pre-filled and pre-charged, so they are ready to go! But after you use them (and after you return to Earth), put that puppy on a charger and get it ready for your next rendezvous. Nothing kills the vibe quicker than a blinking battery light.
