What is CBD and Why is it Legal?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound found in the hemp and cannabis plant. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not produce a high. Instead, studies suggest this compound can relieve anxiety, inflammation, and pain, and even prevent seizures.

Since it doesn’t have intoxicating effects, hemp-derived CBD is federally legal. CBD derived from the cannabis plant is not legal on a federal level, even if the product in question does not contain THC. nama CBD products are derived from hemp and are thus completely legal.

Is CBD a Drug?

Cannabis-derived CBD is considered a prescription drug and is used to treat seizures and other health conditions. Hemp-derived CBD has the same health benefits, but you don’t need a prescription to take it. CBD products (such as CBD oils, gummies, and vapes) do not have the intoxicating effects you may expect from a ‘drug’.

How Does CBD Make You Feel?

CBD has anxiolytic properties (studies suggest it can reduce stress, anxiety, and the intensity of panic attacks) and will make you feel more relaxed. This compound may also alleviate pain and inflammation, which is why many medical cannabis users turn to CBD instead of over-the-counter analgesics to treat muscle soreness, period pain, and chronic inflammatory processes.

What Is CBD Used For?

CBD is used in effort to reduce symptoms of various mental and physical ailments. The potential benefits of cannabidiol may include:

• seizure prevention
• anxiety reduction

Delta 9 THC vs. THC: Is Delta 9 the Same as THC?

Delta 9 (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is a subset of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Both compounds are found in cannabis sativa and hemp.

This compound binds to cannabinoid receptors in your brain (more precisely, to the endocannabinoid system) and at sufficiently high dosages produces effects that people refer to as a ‘high’.

How Much THC is in Delta 9 Edibles?

nama CBD offers a wide array of Delta 9 edibles with THC amounts ranging from 2 mg to 10 mg per edible. All our edibles contain under 0.3% terpene-rich Delta 9 THC per weight and are thus legal in all states where hemp products with no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC are legal.

Our Delta 9 gummies and edibles offer a convenient and effective format to microdose THC in a way that is safe and federally legal.

Is Delta 9 THC Legal?

The legality of Delta 9 THC depends on the amount of THC the product contains and where the Delta 9 was sourced from.

The 2018 Farm Bill, allowed for Delta 9 products made from hemp, with less than 0.3% THC per dry weight, to be legal. Products made from cannabis with a higher THC level are not federally legal (though they may be legal in some states).

Since all nama CBD products are hemp-derived and contain less than 0.3% of Delta 9 THC per dry weight, they are legal on a federal level. For example, our Delta 9 edibles are legal federally and in 48 states.

Does Delta 9 THC Get You High?

Yes, Delta 9 THC has psychoactive effects and will get you high at a sufficient dosage. Lower doses (2-5 mg) will generate a light buzz, while a higher dosage (10 mg or more) may result in a euphoric feeling and may lead to changes in perception.

What are the Effects of Delta 9 THC?

The subjective effects of THC, including Delta 9, differ from person to person. Your previous experience with THC, as well as your dosage, will dictate the Delta 9 THC effects you experience. People report feeling the following effects of Delta 9 THC to varying degrees:

• relaxation and tranquility
• feelings of euphoria
• appetite increase
• talkativeness
• changes in perception

How Long Does a Delta 9 Edible Last?

Generally, the effects of Delta 9 edibles last longer than the effects of smoked cannabis as the latter brings on a larger dose of THC more immediately, while the former spreads out a specified dose over several hours. The dosage you take and your tolerance level will determine how long you feel the effects of Delta 9 THC.

When taken orally, THC takes around 20-60 minutes to kick in and the effects may last for up to 8 hours after taking an edible. The effects will be the strongest in the first 3-4 hours and will slowly subside over the next several hours.

Delta 9 THC vs. Delta 8 THC

Delta 9 and Delta 8 are both forms of THC. These tetrahydrocannabinol compounds are derived from the hemp flower or the cannabis plant. Just like Delta 9, Delta 8 THC is legal so long as there’s no more than 0.3% of it by weight in a product (although in light of a recent Ninth Circuit decision, Delta 8 THC may be legal in amounts greater than 0.3%).

The only chemical difference between Delta 9 vs Delta 8 THC is the placement of one particular carbon double bond. Delta 8 has the double bond on the 8th carbon atom, while Delta 9’s is on the 9th carbon atom. Due to this small difference in their chemical composition, Delta 9 and Delta 8 have different effects.
