Delta 8 THC (delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is one of the many cannabinoids that is naturally produced in hemp and cannabis plants. Delta 8 THC features a similar chemical structure to Delta 9 THC; however, the slight difference is what allows it to deliver an uplifting high that has been described as “not as intense as delta 9 THC.

Delta 9 THC is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, one of more than 100 unique cannabinoids that can be extracted from plants that make up the cannabis family. Delta 9 is one of the most abundant types of tetrahydrocannabinol found in cannabis, but there are actually a handful of known types of THC. Usually, when people refer to THC, they are referencing delta-9 THC. And, delta 9 THC is the most well-studied type of THC.

Delta 9 THC is primarily known as the primary intoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis, which is why the cannabinoid is still regulated in a lot of states. Nevertheless, the compound may also offer therapeutic value for certain issues and conditions.

THCP is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiphoral, which is one of more than 100 unique phytocannabinoids that occurs naturally in cannabis plants and others belonging to the cannabis family. THCP is also synthesized from hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD.

Even though THCP has an almost identical structure to delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, researchers have pointed out that the compound is potentially far more potent. While the cannabinoid is not well-researched just yet, this higher potency attribute could make THCP even more valuable for therapeutic purposes than THC.

As a psychoactive cannabinoids, like Δ9 THC, Δ8 THC will deliver euphoric, mind-altering effects; although, its effects are much more mild than those of Delta 9 THC.

In addition, users of delta 8 have reported experiencing a sense of bliss, relaxation, increased sensory perception, improved mood, and improved appetite.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to treat or cure any disease, ailment, or condition. While we fully stand behind the quality and potency of our products, the effects of this product may vary based on a variety of factors including age, weight, dosage size, medical history, and chemical levels in the body. If this will be your first time using this type of product, you are strongly advised to consult with a licensed medical professional before trying this product.

Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, THCP, and THC-A are all cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis plants, each with varying psychoactive effects:

• Delta-9 THC is the primary active cannabinoid responsible for the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use.
• Delta-8 THC produces a similar but milder psychoactive effect compared to Delta-9.
• THCP is known to be significantly more potent than Delta-9, potentially amplifying psychoactive effects.
• THC-A itself is non-psychoactive but converts to Delta-9 THC when exposed to heat (e.g., smoking or vaping), inducing psychoactive effects.

In other words, yes, products containing any of these cannabinoids may get you high depending on their formulation and usage.

Results may vary based on the person and situation; however, in general, it takes 30-45 minutes for the effects of delta 8 gummies to kick in. Unlike the effects of Delta 9, which are said to “creep up on you,” the effects of delta 8 THC gradually kick in and are less intense.

To answer this question, it’s important to understand the difference between hemp and cannabis. While cannabis or marijuana plants are classified based on whether or not the plant contains more than 0.3% delta 9 THC by dry weight, hemp plants are classified based on whether or not the plant contains less than 0.3% delta 9 THC by dry weight.

With that being said, the primary difference between hemp-derived delta 9 thc and cannabis or marijuana-derived THC is the type of plant that the delta 9 THC is being extracted from, hemp or cannabis.

There is not a medically-backed answer to this question; however, when used responsibly, products containing cannabinoids such as Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, THCP, and THC-A are generally considered safe if they are thoroughly tested for potency and purity by an accredited third-party lab and sourced from a reliable supplier who adheres to best-in-class manufacturing practices. Due to the nature of these active ingredients, the effects delivered—both positive and negative—may vary for each individual based on a variety of factors, including age, weight, dosage size, medical history, and chemical levels in the body.

If you are considering trying products with these cannabinoids for the first time, we strongly advise consulting with a licensed medical professional beforehand.

Yes, cannabinoids such as Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, THCP, and THC-A can show up on a drug test. Most standard drug tests are designed to detect THC metabolites, which are produced when your body processes these cannabinoids. Since these compounds share similar chemical structures, it’s likely that any of them could trigger a positive test result.

If you are subject to drug testing, it’s best to avoid using products containing these cannabinoids.
