CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound in the cannabis plant with potentially therapeutic benefits. It does not get you high, but it shows promise in treating a wide range of ailments, and there are currently numerous government-backed studies being conducted on its many uses. CBD can be paired with other cannabinoids to enhance or change its effects.

When the Farm Bill became law in 2018, hemp became legal across the country, which includes CBD.

CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that is used by many customers for a wide range of reasons. We do not make any medicinal claims for CBD, but users report it helping with everything from aches to focus, and more.

Delta 8 THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis (hemp and marijuana) and is commonly abbreviated as Delta 8 THC, Δ8THC, Δ8, D8, D8 THC, and D8THC. It’s an isomer of both cannabidiol (“CBD”) and Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (“D9THC”), sharing a chemical formula of C21H30O2 and a molar mass of 314.464 g/mol.

Delta 8 THC is an extremely viscous oil and exists in an “activated” state similar to Delta 9 THC, meaning it does not need to be decarboxylated to feel its effects.

It exists naturally and can also be produced by converting CBD or Delta 9 THC via a chemical reaction typically using heat, catalysts, altered pH environments, and/or solvents.

Delta 8 THC was made legal by H.R. 2: The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill. It was specifically made legal when hemp allowed for all derivatives, isomers, and cannabinoids of hemp that were not Delta 9 THC.

Delta 8 THC is federally legal and legal in most states, but it is not legal in all states.

The effects of Delta 8 THC vary per person, but the average experience could best be explained by imagining combining the best parts of CBD and Delta 9 THC. It is often reported as relaxing, mood-boosting, pleasantly euphoric yet clearheaded and not overwhelmingly intoxicating. It’s motivating/energizing to some, especially at lower doses, and sleep-inducing to others, especially at higher doses.

With appropriate dosing, users report feeling far more functional and active on Delta 8 THC versus Delta 9 THC. Delta 8 THC also has potential medicinal applications (pending further research), given its combined effects on CB1 and CB2 receptors vs. CBD and Delta 9 THC.

Consumer Reported Delta 8 THC Effects:

• Mood boost/Happier
• Calming
• Relief for aches
• Motivating
• Better sleep
• Increased drive
• Increased desire for food

HHC is a cannabinoid similar to Delta 8. It exists naturally within the hemp plant in very small amounts. HHC does not contain THC.

When the Farm Bill became law in 2018, hemp and all its cannabinoids and derivatives became legal across the country. Hexahydrocannabinol, or HHC is a naturally existing cannabinoid found in hemp.

Even though structurally different, HHC and THC act similarly to each other in effects. Comparatively HHC is commonly reported to have effects in between those experienced when using Delta 8 and Delta 9. Users often report an energetic and euphoric feeling with less paranoia in comparison to Delta 9.

The length of HHC’s effects are very unique to the individual. As an average, we see high purity vapes lasting 1-5 hours and tinctures and edibles lasting 3-12 hours. Larger doses generally create longer lasting effects, especially with tinctures and edibles.

A difficulty of judging the length of effects is that HHC has a fairly natural onset and come down, so that it is sometimes hard for an individual to truly grasp where their “baseline” is/was before and after taking HHC.

The cannabinoid HHC is reported to be more potent than Delta 8, but less potent than Delta 9.

Delta 9 THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis (hemp and marijuana) and is commonly abbreviated as Delta 9 THC, Δ9THC, Δ9, D8, D9 THC, and D9THC. It is the primary active ingredient in marijuana that is responsible for the “high” it produces.

Delta 9 is an isomer of both cannabidiol (“CBD”) and Delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol (“D9THC”), sharing a chemical formula of C21H30O2 and a molar mass of 314.464 g/mol.

Delta 9 THC products were made legal by H.R. 2: The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill. It was specifically made legal when hemp allowed for all products that had less than 0.3% by weight. This means that edibles, which have a higher weight, can still contain enough quantities of Delta 9 THC to feel the desired effects and maintain legality because Delta 9 makes up less than 0.3% of the entire product.

The effects of Delta 9 THC vary per person, but the average but it is often reported as relaxing and euphoric. It’s motivating/energizing to some, especially at lower doses, and sleep-inducing to others, especially at higher doses.

It is important to always start with lower doses of Delta 9 to assess your own tolerance levels and slowly move up in dosing if needed.

Consumer Reported Delta 9 THC Effects:

• Mood boost/Happier
• Calming
• Relief for aches
• Motivating
• Better sleep
• Increased desire for food

The length of Delta 9 THC’s effects are very unique to the individual. As an average, Delta 9 edibles tend to last 2-6 hours for many users.
