Introduction To Hemp-Derived THC Products:

Introduction to Hemp-Derived THC Products:

In our last article, we learned to distinguish between over-the-counter, hemp-derived THC products and medical marijuana by understanding the 0.3% rule. This article delves deeper into how various cannabinoids become available from hemp and explores their effects.

Delta-6 THC:

Delta-6 THC is the most abundant cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, accounting for more than 40% of all cannabinoids. It offers a range of medicinal benefits, including anxiety and pain reduction. It constitutes a significant portion of cannabis-derived products and is known for its psychoactive effects and diverse biological activities, showing evidence of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, neuroprotective, anticonvulsant and anti-depressant effects.

Delta-8 THC:

Delta-8 THC, a synthetically produced psychoactive cannabinoid, provides a milder high than delta-9 THC. Its consumption is explored as an alternative to delta-9 THC, and it is considered a milder alternative with fewer of the side effects (paranoia, hunger, fatigue) sometimes associated with THC use. It is medicinally beneficial in the same ways as other cannabinoids, but does not occur naturally in great quantities and so must be synthesized from other cannabinoids such as CBD.

Delta-9 THC:

The landscape of THC has evolved since the 2018 Farm Bill, with delta-9 THC subject to varying laws nationwide. It is one of the most commonly occurring cannabinoids, first discovered in the 1960’s and studied (and enjoyed) extensively since. Thanks to its abundance it requires a minimal amount of processing. Hemp-derived delta-9 THC, sourced from legal hemp plants, shares the same properties as THC from marijuana (as hemp and marijuana are both cannabis) but differs in the extraction process.

Delta-10 THC:

Delta-10 THC, an isomer of delta-9 THC, exists naturally in small quantities in cannabis plants and is often synthesized from hemp-derived CBD. Positioned in a legal grey area, it is reported to offer stimulating and uplifting effects with fewer chances of inducing anxiety. It is popular amongst students and professionals for its energizing and euphoric effects.

Delta-11 THC:

Delta-11 THC, a minor cannabinoid, is an isomer of delta-9 THC and is synthesized from cannabidiol (CBD). Users report intense euphoric feelings, heightened relaxation, and an elevated mood, making it a sought-after cannabinoid. It shares a commonality of effect and potency with Delta 10.

HHC:

Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), a lesser-known THC relative, is produced from hemp-derived CBD in a lab. While not technically a THC, it produces very similar effects, and its unique advantages include enhanced stability and resistance to breakdown. Users report a euphoric, long-lasting high, beneficial for energy, focus and mood; with few of the side effects normally experienced alongside THC use. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that HHC will not appear on traditional panel drug tests, as it does not metabolize in the same way THC does… But further study on the subject is necessary.

THCA:

THCA, the precursor to THC, is abundant in fresh cannabis plants and known for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. It can be obtained by enjoying raw, organically produced cannabis in culinary products such as smoothies, fresh juices or salads. While non-psychoactive, it undergoes decarboxylation into THC, which means that heating THCA will convert it into THC, offering a potent high from smoking or vaping.

THCV/THCP/THCB:

THCV, a relatively rare compound, has effects such as appetite suppression and neuroprotection and is significantly more potent than THC alone. THCP, discovered in 2019, exhibits psychoactive potential surpassing THC by a significant margin. THCB, discovered alongside THCP, shows medicinal promise with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, though further studies are needed on all three minor compounds

In Conclusion:

There are many benefits to hemp-derived cannabinoids and as the industry expands in response to demand, there are an abundance of products to choose from. It is crucial that consumers choose reputable retailers for their hemp-derived THC products, sourced responsibly from from quality manufacturers who can provide third-party lab results, ensuring transparency and product integrity.
