What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found within the cannabis plant. On a molecular level, it is very similar in structure to the well-known Delta 9. The structures differ by the placement of the double carbon bond in the cyclohexyl ring. Research has shown that Delta 8 binds to the CB1 receptors within the body’s endocannabinoid system, just like Delta 9 but not as efficiently. Most people report that Delta 8 creates a milder 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 within the central nervous system. It binds much better to the CB1 receptors which creates the euphoric effects. This cannabinoid does not bind to the CB1 receptor as well as other cannabinoids. Many consumers agree that the effects are not as intense as Delta 9, Delta 11, or THCP.

What is the Difference Between Delta 8 and Delta 9?

Delta 8 has the double carbon bond in the eighth position of the cyclohexyl ring. Delta 9 has this double carbon bond in the ninth. Many say Delta 8 has a mild clear-headed and calming effect without anxiety or paranoia. Delta 9 is known for a strong psychoactive effect that results in extreme relaxation.

How is Delta 8 Made?

While Delta 8 does occur naturally in the cannabis plant, it is only in trace amounts. Most Delta 8 is derived from high-quality hemp flower through a process called isomerization. This is a process that converts an organic compound into one of its isomers. An isomer is a compound with the same composition as the original but with a slightly different structure or configuration.

Why is Delta 8 Legal?

Delta 8 is federally legal due to the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. In this law, it was decided that hemp is defined as any cannabis plant with 0.3% or less Delta 9 THC. Delta 8 is not mentioned or regulated in the bill and is considered legal by the federal government. However, Delta 8 has recently been banned or restricted in several states. It is highly recommended to research local laws and regulations to ensure legality.

Where do You Buy Delta 8?

CannaBuddy has an extensive collection of potent Delta 8 products. We have Delta 8 edibles, Delta 8 gummies, Delta 8 drinks, Delta 8 flower, and more. All products are tested by a third party for efficacy, potency, and purity.

What is Delta 9?

Delta 9 is the cannabinoid that induces the euphoria many people associate with cannabis and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This cannabinoid interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). Just like Delta 8, Delta 10, and THCH, it produces an uplifting, euphoric effect that can improve energy and reduce 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 one of the sweetest ways to consume Delta 9 THC. They are gummies that have had a Delta 9 isolate mixed in during production. They come in a variety of flavors such as Sour Blueberry, Dragonfruit Paradise, and Passionfruit Mango. These treats are great on the go or relaxing at the end of the day. Each sweet treat helps you unwind and relax into bliss.

What is Delta 10?

Delta 10 is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is very similar in structure to Delta 9. They both have a double carbon bond on the cyclohexyl ring. Delta 10 has the bond attached in the tenth position of its ring. Delta 9 has the bond in the ninth position. This slight difference causes a very different euphoric effect. Both bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the central nervous system, but Delta 10 does not bond to the CB1 receptors as well as Delta 9. As a result, many say Delta 10 is a milder clear-headed psychoactive buzz. Like most Delta 9 isomers, Delta 10 has 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?

Whether they are inhaled or ingested, Delta 8 is considered by many to have a stronger euphoric effect than Delta 10. However, each person’s endocannabinoid system has a different reaction to each cannabinoid. Some enthusiasts report Delta 10 to be stronger when consumed in larger quantities.

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

Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10 have a minor molecular difference, but very different psychoactive effects.

Delta 8 THC: With the double carbon bond in the eighth position of the cyclohexyl ring, consumers report Delta 8 to have a clear-headed and uplifting feeling. The effects are reported to be about half as strong as Delta 9.

Delta 9 THC: Delta 9 has the most psychoactive effect on the human body. It is well known for an intense euphoria that results in extreme relaxation.

Delta 10 THC: This cannabinoid has a double carbon bond in the tenth position. Enthusiasts report Delta 10 as a clear-headed and energizing euphoria with no paranoia or anxiety. The effects are reported to be about half to three-quarters the strength of Delta 9.

What is HHC?

Chemist Roger Adams discovered HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) in 1940 when he exposed THC to a process called hydrogenation. HHC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid but is only found in trace amounts within the cannabis sativa plant. Most HHC is synthesized by hydrogenating high-quality CBD. In this process, CBD is converted into Delta 9 THC, which is then exposed to hydrogenation. HHC is made 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 changes the molecular weight and makes HHC more stable than THC. This means HHC has a longer shelf life than other cannabinoids. Like many THC isomers, HHC is thought to have antiemetic (anti-nausea), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), analgesic (pain-relieving), and neuroprotective properties.

What is HHC vs THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and HHC are cannabinoids within the cannabis plant. They have a similar structure, but a slight difference makes a big impact on the effects. THC has a double carbon bond on its cyclohexyl ring and HHC has two hydrogen atoms. Both cannabinoids bind to the CB1 receptors, but THC binds with these receptors much better than HHC. Most consumers describe THC as a strong psychoactive experience with intense relaxation. HHC is reported as uplifting and energizing without the lethargy of THC. 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 delicious and chewy treats that have been infused with an HHC isolate. Some gummies use HHC only, but many add other cannabinoids, such as Delta 8, Delta 9, and Delta 10 to create an entourage effect. HHC gummies are available in a variety of flavors and pre-portioned for a consistent effect.

How Many Gummies Should I Eat?

First-time consumers should start with half of a gummy or one gummy and then wait at least two hours to feel any effects. If nothing is felt, eat the other half or one more gummy and wait another hour. Since these are high-potency gummies, it is also highly recommended for experienced consumers to start low and slow with these gummies.
