Delta-8 THC is a compound that comes from the hemp plant. It has a molecular structure that is slightly different than it’s cousin, Delta-9 THC (the well-known compound in marijuana). Delta-8 THC is intoxicating like Delta-9 THC, but many people report that the effects are not as strong. It is a gentler option that lets the user relax and decompress.
HHC is another compound that can occur naturally in hemp plants. Like Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC, HHC is intoxicating and delivers euphoric effects. It is growing in popularity because many feel it is not as strong as the Deltas, and provides a well-balanced high that is more uplifting and easier to manage.
Delta-9 THC is famous for being the active, intoxicating ingredient that creates the euphoric effect in marijuana products. However, it is also present in hemp plants, which is where our Delta-9 comes from. The 2018 Farm Bill made federally legal products derived from hemp, provided that the level of Delta-9 THC was below 0.3% by dry weight.
