Delta 9 Strains: Everything You Need to Know

There are several variants of THC available in the market, and Delta 9 THC is gaining quite a bit of popularity by cannabis users. After the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill federally approved the legal use of Delta 9 THC products made from hemp plants with no more than 0.3% THC levels by dry weight, this cannabinoid has piqued consumer interest.

What is Delta 9?

Delta 9 THC is the cannabinoid molecule in the hemp and marijuana plant that is most commonly known for the psychoactive feelings associated with a “high.” When users express experiencing euphoric results after using cannabis, it’s because Delta 9 has a high connectivity to our cannabinoid receptors. Its potency leads to relaxation, elation, and overall wellness.

What are the Benefits of Delta 9?

Delta 9 has been used to treat unpleasant symptoms of medical conditions like Glaucoma, ADHD, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, and more. Cannabis users gravitate toward Delta 9 THC because it:

• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Improves sleep
• Relieves pain and reduces inflammation
• Regulating appetite
• Increasing focus and productivity

As more people are looking for healthier ways to help regulate their bodies, studies have shown that Delta 9 has many positive medical and recreational uses. While research is ongoing, it’s safe to say Delta 9 is becoming less controversial as its multifaceted benefits are more known. 

What are the Side Effects of Delta 9?

Although Delta 9 has many beneficial properties, there are some short-term side effects of THC associated with overconsumption. It is not possible to fatally overdose from Delta 9, but consuming too much may lead to some adverse side effects like:  

• Paranoia
• Heightened anxiety/rapid heart rate
• Dry mouth (cottonmouth)

You can avoid these side effects by being mindful of the way you’re consuming Delta 9, and how much of it you’re using at a time. Consider microdosing THC with nama’s Delta 9 THC edibles, made in accordance with federal law and containing microdoses of THC derived from hemp.

What are Common Ways to Consume Delta 9 THC?

While most people commonly associate THC with smoking marijuana, there are many other alternatives to consuming cannabis. Many users are turning to THC drinks, Delta 9 edibles, and other tinctures. Users are exploring the benefits of CBD vs THC, too, finding ways to combine the two in a perfect ratio for an entourage effect, like many of nama CBD’s products do.

Is Delta 9 legal?

Delta 9 derived from hemp is federally legal thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. 48 states have adopted Farm Bill criteria for Delta 9 THC legality,  with Kansas and Idaho not opting to make it legal. The legal amount is no more than 0.3% THC concentration by dry weight under federal law. Our Delta 9 THC edibles and Delta 9 gummies are hemp-derived and made in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill, ensuring they are safe for users—and Federally legal.

How Long Can Delta 9 be Detected in Your System?

How long Delta 9 remains in your system depends on many factors. Things like how often you consume Delta 9, how much of it, your age, and genetics will determine whether it stays in your system for a few days or a few weeks. Whether you’re consuming Delta 9 from hemp or marijuana, its lasting effects in your system are the same.

What are the Best Delta 9 Strains?

Before diving into the top Delta 9 strains, it is helpful to note that each strain is typically categorized as either Indica, Sativa or Hybrid (meaning a combination of Indica and Sativa).   Sativa brings more energy and creates more of a “head high.” Indica creates a more relaxed vibe and is more of a “body high.” A Hybrid, as you could guess, is a mix of the two strains and includes elements of both indica and sativa in your journey through the high.

Now let’s take a look at some of the top Sativa, Indica and Hybrid strains in the cannabis industry:

Cereal Milk Cannabis Strain [22% Delta 9 THC | 1% CBG]

Cereal milk is a hybrid strain produced by the popular brand Cookies. Cereal Milk was developed by combining Y Life, a hybrid strain with the sativa dominant strain, Snowman. This combination produces a potent high with a strong flavor designed to mirror sweet milk and ice cream.  

Girl Scout Cookies Strain [19% Delta 9 THC | 1% CBG]

Girl scout cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid strain. Girl scout cookies was made from a combination of OG Kush, a hybrid strain; and Durban Poison, an energizing, pure sativa strain. This is a strain that provides a euphoric high with flavors of lemon, mint, and sweet cherry.

Durban Poison Strain [20% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

Durban Poison is pure landrace sativa. Durban Poison is highly energizing and has a sweet, pine aroma. It is a very proactive strain. If you like to keep on your grind during your high, this is the strain for you.

White Widow Strain [15% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

White widow is a very balanced hybrid. It has some Brazilian sativa with South Indian indica. It is definitely a more energizing strain with a bit of the aroma of wood and a really great terpene profile.

Northern Lights Strain [18% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

Northern lights is an indica based strain made from Afghani and Thai. It has an aroma of pine and has a very relaxing effect. It is one of the best strains for relieving anxiety and improving focus. Medical marijuana patients often use this strain to treat a number of different mental and physical aches and pains.

OG Kush Strain [18% Delta-9 THC | 0% CBG]

OG Kush is a complex strain crossed with three different strains: Chemdawg, a hybrid strain; Lemon Thai, a sativa based strain; and Hindu Kush, a pure indica strain. It has an interesting lemon-fuel-pine aroma and has both a head and body high associated with it.

Blue Dream Strain [18% Delta-9 THC | 0% CBD]

Blue dream is a hybrid strain which is made by crossing Blueberry, an indica-based strain, with Haze, a sativa-based strain. It creates a balanced high with a sweet berry aroma and a blueberry flavor.

Pineapple Express [20% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

Pineapple Express is a sativa-dominant hybrid. It is created when Trainwreck, a very potent sativa-based strain, crossed with Hawaiian, another sativa-dominant strain. It has a flavor of, as you can probably guess, pineapple. The bright citrus notes create a beautiful blood orange flavor and give you the energizing effects of Pineapple express.

Amnesia Haze [19% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

Amnesia Haze is a sativa strain which mixes South asian, a tea-flavored indica strain, with a coffee-flavored sativa strain, Jamaican. This strain tastes and smells of lemons and gives an energetic start to your day.

Super Silver Haze Strain [20% Delta-9 THC | 1% CBG]

Super Silver Haze is a sativa strain with high energizing effects. It is a cross between three different strains: Skunk, a hybrid strain; Northern Lights, an indica strain; and Haze, a sativa strain. It has a spicy, herbal aroma that creates a long-lasting body high.

Delta 8 vs. Delta 9: Are They The Same?

Delta 8 is a more subdued version of Delta 9. According to Boston Hemp Inc., Delta-8 and Delta 9 only have one chemical difference from each other. Delta 9 contains a double bond compound on the ninth carbon atom, whereas Delta-8 has a double bond on the eighth carbon atom. Delta 9 is more potent than Delta 8 and makes up the majority of THC that occurs naturally in cannabis plants. Delta 9 will get you more “high” than Delta 8, and there is a lower dosage that is recommended for Delta 9.
