What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 has been identified as a naturally occurring cannabinoid within the cannabis plant. Its structure is almost identical to Delta 9 with one small difference. Delta 8 has a double carbon bond in the eighth position of its cyclohexyl ring while Delta 9 has this bond in the ninth position. Research shows Delta 8 binds to the CB1 receptors within the body’s endocannabinoid system, but not as efficiently as Delta 9. Due to this weak binding, consumer reports suggest Delta 8 has a mild psychoactive effect that is less intense than Delta 9. Delta 8 THC also has antiemetic (anti-nausea), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), analgesic (pain relieving), and neuroprotective properties.

What Does Delta 8 Do?

Delta 8 binds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system after being eaten or smoked. It binds more efficiently to the CB1 receptors and induces the euphoria people feel. It does not bind as well as other cannabinoids, such as Delta 11 or THCB, and many consumers agree that the strength of Delta 8’s effects is about half of Delta 9.

What is the Difference Between Delta 8 and Delta 9?

Delta 8 and Delta 9 differ in structure and effects. The double carbon bond is in the eighth position on the cyclohexyl ring for Delta 8 and the ninth position for Delta 9. Many consumers report Delta 8 to have a mild clearheaded and uplifting effect with no paranoia. Delta 9 is known for a strong psychoactive effect that fades to relaxation and lethargy.

How is Delta 8 Made?

Cannabis plants would have to be harvested by the millions to extract enough organic Delta 8 to meet consumer demands. So, most Delta 8 is derived through isomerization. An isomer is a compound with the same composition as the original but with a slightly different structure or configuration. This process starts with high-quality hemp flower that is converted into Delta 9 and then Delta 8. These are both isomers of CBD. Isomerization requires specialized equipment and training. It should be performed in a laboratory setting equipped to handle it.

Why is Delta 8 Legal?

The 2018 Farm Bill defined hemp as any cannabis plant with 0.3% or less Delta 9 THC by dry weight. This law did not mention Delta 8 or regulate any other cannabinoid. Due to this wording, Delta 8 is considered legal on the federal level. However, several states have banned or restricted Delta 8 and other cannabinoids. It is highly recommended to research local laws and regulations to ensure legality.

Where do You Buy Delta 8?

Potent and effective Delta 8 products can be found at CannaBuddy. We have Delta 8 drinks, Delta 8 pre-rolls, Delta 8 gummies, Delta 8 flower, and more. All products are third-party tested for efficacy, potency, and purity.

What is Delta 9?

Delta 9 is the organic compound in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that has the psychoactive properties many people associate with cannabis. This cannabinoid binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). It binds much more efficiently to the CB1 receptors to create an uplifting, euphoric effect. Many consumers also report a boost in energy and reduced anxiety. Research has shown Delta 9 THC to have medical benefits including anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.

What are Delta 9 Gummies?

Delta 9 gummies are infused with a Delta 9 isolate during production. They deliver all the strength of cannabis but burst with fruit flavors. A variety of flavors are available, such as Tropical Kush, Passionfruit Mango, and Sour Blueberry. Gummies are great on the go. They travel well and everyone else thinks it is just candy. Or, they can help you relax at the end of the day and bring on sleep.

What is Delta 10?

Delta 10 is a naturally occurring cannabinoid within the cannabis plant. However, it is only found in trace amounts. The structure and effect of Delta 10 is similar to Delta 9. Both have a double carbon bond on the cyclohexyl ring, but Delta 10 has it attached in the tenth position and Delta 9 has it in the ninth. This minor difference causes two very different euphoric effects. Delta 9 and Delta 10 bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the central nervous system. Delta 10 does not bond to the receptors as well as Delta 9. Many report that Delta 10 has a mild clear-headed psychoactive euphoria versus the intense experience of Delta 9. Delta 10 has also been used as an antiemetic (anti-nausea), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), analgesic (pain-relieving), and has neuroprotective properties.

Which is Stronger Delta 8 or Delta 10?

Delta 8 is reported by many consumers to have a slightly stronger psychoactive effect than Delta 10. However, not everyone has the same reaction to every cannabinoid. Some people consider Delta 10 to be stronger when it is consumed in larger quantities.

What is the Difference Between Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10?

The difference between Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10 is structure and effects.

• Delta 8 THC: This cannabinoid has a double carbon bond in the eighth position of the cyclohexyl ring. Consumers report Delta 8 as a clearheaded and uplifting experience. The effects are reported to be about half as strong as Delta 9.
• Delta 9 THC: This cannabinoid has a double carbon bond in the ninth position of the cyclohexyl ring. This results in the most euphoric effect on people. It is known for an intense cerebral experience that results in relaxation and lethargy.
• Delta 10 THC: This cannabinoid has a double carbon bond in the tenth position of the cyclohexyl ring. Many say Delta 10 creates a clearheaded and energizing buzz with no anxiety. The effects are reported to be about half to three-quarters of Delta 9.

What is HHC?

HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) occurs in trace amounts naturally in the cannabis sativa plant. It was first synthesized by Roger Adams in 1940 when he exposed THC to a process called hydrogenation. HHC is synthesized today in the same way. First, CBD is converted into Delta 9 THC. Then, that isolate is exposed to hydrogenation. During this process, HHC forms when the double carbon bond on the Delta 9 cyclohexyl ring is removed and replaced with two hydrogen atoms, creating a hexahydrocannabinol ring. This process also changes the molecular weight. It makes HHC more stable than THC, giving it a longer shelf life. Like all THC isomers, HHC is believed to have antiemetic (anti-nausea), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), analgesic (pain-relieving), and neuroprotective properties.

What is HHC vs THC?

Both THC and HHC have psychoactive properties, but a difference in their structure causes them to be very different. THC has a double carbon bond on its cyclohexyl ring in the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh position. HHC had the double carbon bond replaced with two hydrogen atoms through a process called hydrogenation. Both cannabinoids bind to the CB1 receptors, but THC bonds much better. Many consumers say THC has an intense psychoactive effect followed by elongated relaxation. HHC is reported to be uplifting and energizing with a clearheaded buzz. Many consumers enjoy HHC during working hours. Even though they differ in effects these cannabinoids share similar therapeutic properties, such as pain relief, anti-inflammation, and reduced nausea.

What are HHC Gummies?

HHC gummies are tasty treats infused with an HHC isolate during production. Some gummies contain just HHC. But, many times other cannabinoids, like Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10, are added to create an entourage effect. HHC gummies are available in a variety of flavors, such as Orange Dreamsicle and Blue Raspberry.

How Many Gummies Should I Eat?

Enthusiasts who are eating Delta 8, Delta 9, or HHC gummies for the first time should start with one-half of a gummy or one gummy. Then wait at least two hours to feel any effects. If nothing is felt, eat one more half or whole gummy and wait for the effects. PharmaTHC Euphoria Blend are high-potency gummies. Even experienced cannabis enthusiasts may want to start low and slow when eating these gummies for the first time.
