What is Delta 9 THC?

Without even knowing, most people who are referring to “THC” are actually talking about the Delta 9 THC variant. That’s because THC stands for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Within the cannabis plant, there are more than 500 substances and 100 different cannabinoid molecules, and THC is just one of them. And because marijuana and hemp are both part of the cannabis family tree, THC can be derived from either source. This is important to note because all cbdMD Delta 9 products are derived from hemp and considered federally compliant.

Compared to its cousins Delta 8 and Delta 10, Delta 9 can be found in much higher concentrations within the cannabis plant. This means that in order to create a product where there are lasting effects, Delta 9 THC can be naturally extracted through a simple process. On the other hand, Delta 8 and Delta 10 must be synthetically recreated to formulate products with lasting effects.

Since you are getting the most natural form of the Delta 9 THC, the products that are made with it tend to be less manufactured with fewer additives. These products have many of the same benefits of our original broad spectrum options, with up to 10 mg of THC. CBD and THC work together to create a “high potency full spectrum formula,” which results in a more well-rounded, enhanced experience.
