For those looking for the psychoactive effects of delta 9 THC without worrying about the legalities, delta 8 THC gummies from hemp have been a lifesaver. However, delta-9 lovers may now have a new legal option: hemp-derived delta 9 gummies–which are now available here at Galaxy Treats!
Let's take a closer look!
Delta 9 THC gummies are edible confections infused with delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9 THC). What is delta 9 THC? Delta-9 THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis and in smaller concentrations in hemp. However, delta 9 is also known for certain therapeutic effects, such as helping people with pain, sleep disorders, and lacking appetite.
Delta-8 THC, such as what's found in Galaxy Treats D8 Gummies, is also a cannabinoid found in plants that belong to the cannabis family like hemp. However, delta-8 is an isomer of delta 9 THC, which means it is not quite as potent as delta 9. While both cannabinoids are psychoactive, delta 9 effects are more profound and longer-lasting. According to medical professionals, delta 8 has anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of the psychoactive effect as delta 9. In other words, delta 8 can be intoxicating or cause a high, but not quite as much.
You can find delta 9 THC gummies that have a totally different manufacturing process. Some are made from extracts from cannabis (legally referenced as marijuana), which naturally has high concentrations of delta 9. However, you can also purchase delta 9 gummies that actually adhere to the laws set forth by the 2018 Farm Bill. The former is not legal everywhere, the latter is technically legal on a federal level.
How is this possible? In short, delta 9 gummies derived from hemp that contain less than 0.3 percent delta 9 are legal. This 0.3 percent converts to roughly three milligrams per gram of delta 9 THC in a product. So, if you have a gummy that weighs about three grams, that gummy can technically contain 9 grams of delta 9 and remain compliant with the Farm Bill.
Yes. Delta 9 gummies will no doubt get you high, just as anything that contains delta 9 THC can generate a buzz. Every individual can have their own unique experience with delta 9, depending on things like genetics, tolerance levels, and more. However, one of the primary effects to expect is some level of intoxication.
Generally speaking, delta 9 THC is considered just as safe as most other cannabinoids. However, you could experience some short-term side effects with your dose, such as:
In some people, high doses of delta 9 can also lead to feelings of anxiety, which is one reason why it is important that you consume a responsible dose. With THC, the effects will gradually wear off with a little time. So, if you experience some undesirable side effect, simply take a nap or wait it out, and you will likely be good to go in a few hours.
Edible delta 9 takes the longest to kick in. The average time-to-effects tends to fall around 30 minutes to an hour, but several factors can affect these numbers, such as:
Any time you use a delta 9 gummy, make sure you give the dose ample time to take effect before deciding that you need more. Because the effects do take longer, you don't want to accidentally consume too much because you assume your first dose was not enough.
First, determine exactly how many milligrams of delta 9 are in a gummy. Most products will offer somewhere around 5 to 10mg of THC per gummy. Therefore, you will likely only need to consume one gummy or even half a gummy to feel the effects. For reference, 10mg of delta 9 THC is usually a good dose for anyone looking to experience the euphoric effects. However, if you are totally new to delta 9, it is best to stick with a lower dose of 5mg or less.
The general rule with cannabinoids of any kind, because everyone can have their own unique body chemistry and experience, is to start with the lowest dose possible, see what happens, and then adjust as needed.
If you are shopping for legal delta 9 gummies, there will be a few things to consider as you shop to protect yourself and make sure you ultimately have the best end experience. Here are some things to think about as you look for the best product.
Check out the quality of the product by looking at the ingredients. Not every THC gummy you find will be made with absolute quality in mind, and you also have to consider that some products are made from marijuana extracts and not hemp extracts.
The best companies will outsource a third-party lab test to get a certificate of analysis (COA) of their products. This lab-produced document will show you important things, such as cannabinoid content and whether the products contained contaminants or residual solvents. For reference, check out Galaxy Treats lab results.
How are you intending to use the gummies you buy? For some people, buying higher potency gummies will make more sense than buying low-dose gummies. For example, if you are using gummies to help with pain, you may need more than a few milligrams of delta 9 in each gummy.
Check out the dosage or potency of any delta 9 THC gummies you are considering. It is important to know how much delta 9 is in one gummy so you can make sure you are consuming the right dose. However, the most reputable companies will always make sure this information is clearly available on product packaging.
Delta 9 products derived from hemp are a relatively new thing, and the laws surrounding these products are ever in motion. Even though these products are technically legal on a federal level, individual states have been taking the initiative to create their own laws surrounding different cannabinoids. Therefore, to make sure you stay on the right side of the law in your state, do a little research to make sure you are legally allowed to possess delta 9 gummies made from hemp.
Check out the brand offering the product. Make sure the brand is well-established with a name that is either recognizable or obviously trusted. To get to know a brand that you do not recognize, simply look for customer reviews for the brand's products. Even if the manufacturer itself does not offer accessible reviews, you can usually find a lot of good firsthand information on forums like Reddit.
