What Is THC? A Complete Guide for the Half-Baked

Share if you care

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the party-hearty, fun-fueling cannabinoid that blazed our ancestors and gave our grandfathers red-eyed giggles. Now, it ushers in all the mind-body buzz a little space cadet could want. But what is it, like, what is it exactly? How is it made? Where does it come from, and why do party people all over the world grant it the power to steer their Friday night fun? 

Here, we’ll unpack what THC is, what it does, and how to use it best. We’ll peel back this compound’s mystique and show you how to dabble in the delta arts. Plus, we’ll stand it up next to other psychoactive faves and see how it fares. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s get baked, buttered ’n’ extra crispy, all thanks to THC!

What Is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)?

Weed. Cannabis. Ganja. Mighty Mary-Jane. It’s all teeming with THC. THC is one of over a hundred different cannabis-based molecules called cannabinoids. These puppies deliver calming effects, soothing effects, and stress-relieving effects. But only one delivers mind-bending effects. THC is the cannabinoid notorious for promoting psychotropic fun, crashing waves of velvety euphoria from your head to your toes and back again. It’s the cannabinoid that creates all of cannabis’ iconic psychoactive effects, and we feature it in a number of gummies, syrups, vapes, and so much more!

What ’bout CBD?

You probably know other cannabinoids, like cannabidiol (CBD), the wellness-backed, stress-busting compound packed into various health supplements. But, what you might not know is how other cannabinoids like CBD can complement the effects of THC. When you enjoy multiple cannabinoids at once, these bad bois do a WWE-style tag team on your noggin, creating more profound effects and an extra dose of euphoric bliss. This is called the Entourage Effect, and it’s a common experience with CBD + THC products. 

Interested in the Entourage Effect? You can find 10 mg of each CBD and THC in our Peach Pear Delta 9 Gummies!

Delta 9 vs. Delta 8

Now, “THC” is an umbrella term that includes a number of different molecules—all of which launch you face-first into the stratosphere. Along THC’s molecular chain, you can find different molecules like delta 9, delta 8, and delta 10. All of these are THC molecules, and each one offers uniquely euphoric effects. The most popular (and prevalent) is the almighty delta 9 THC. This is the THC cannabinoid. In most cannabis strains, it’s the most abundant THC molecule, delivering a smorgasbord of euphoric effects. It’s the main one supplying the good vibes and electric feels. But other THC molecules pepper in some effects, too, adding their own color to the psychoactive canvas. 

Take delta 8, for instance. This little brother molecule exists naturally at infinitesimal levels in all cannabis strains. Infinitesimal levels, but it’s still there, kickin’. We run our hemp extract through some funky science to extract pure delta 8 molecules, pristine and divine, bringing that lesser-known compound out from the shadows and right onto the dance floor. On its own, delta 8 THC dances to its own tune and delivers a cascade of nuanced psychotropic effects—effects that many admit feel awfully similar to the G.O.A.T delta 9 THC. 

HHC vs. THC-P

But delta 8 THC ain’t the only cannabinoid to take over a TRĒ House party. We use a number of different THC variants in our line of THC goodies, all to give you waves of nuanced euphoria. Along with delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC, you’ll find HHC and THC-P in our cosmic concoctions. These two cannabinoids are extra potent, delivering their own list of cerebral sensations that slowly cede into a warm-butter body buzz. 

THC’s Effects

Baked, buttered, toasted, zooted, cheefed—the list is endless, honestly. All these words describe being absolutely lifted, elevated, supersonic, greened-out, crispy—alright, you get it. But what do these effects feel like? Many agree THC’s effects offer a mix of cerebral euphoria and a warm, hugging body buzz. Others report feeling more creative and lucid. And some say they feel zonked, tired, and ready to coast into Slumberland, USA. So, effects vary from person to person. But you’ll still feel baked, buttered, toasted, zooted, cheefed, elevated, elated, and (above all) great. You’ll just feel great. 

What ’bout Magic Mushrooms?

In addition to a growing list of THC goodies, we’ve branched out and added something new to your daily rotation: magic mushroom products. Packed with a proprietary blend of legal mushroom extracts, these gummies, vapes, syrups, and chocolate bars tickle the senses with a strong buzz that feels more body-heavy than cerebral. Compared to THC, these effects settle below the neck in a relaxing wrap of TV static. Add ’em to your stash to break from the THC status quo. 

How to Enjoy This Type of Fun

There are a ton of ways to enjoy THC, and we feature them all in our collection of THC goodies!

Edibles (Gummies + Syrups)

Edibles are perhaps the easiest way to dabble in the delta arts. Just pop back a THC gummy or concoct a buzzed beverage with THC syrup, and you, my star-bound friend, are off to the races. Edibles pass through your digestive tract, before absorbing into your bloodstream, where they then bring their onslaught of fun-filled vibes. Compared to other THC products, effects from edibles take a little longer to set in, so sit back, relax, and wait for the euphoria to come to you.

Vape Pens & Carts

On the contrary, THC vape pens and THC carts deliver their colorful rush of psychoactive bliss almost instantly. Our pens come pre-charged and pre-filled, so you can enjoy them straight from the box. Our THC carts attach to any 510-threaded vape battery and carry one full gram of decadent vape juice, ready to give you hundreds of potent puffs. 

Prerolls

For a more true-to-form THC experience, spark up a THC preroll, made with either delta 8 or HHC flower. These puppies carry half a gram of hemp each, sprinkled with extra potent, extra flavorful kief—all to make your smoke sesh extra, extra loud. 

The Final Say

Alright, with all that bottled up in your little mind, the choice is now up to you. How will you employ THC to fuel your Friday nights? How will you enjoy this little cannabinoid that’s gotten us baked, buttered, and extra crispy for decades? Luckily for you, your friends at TRĒ House have everything you need, every product under the sun (including the best THC gummies!), to help you eke the most out of this precious little compound. So, with nothing left to do, let’s start the party!
