In 2021, Idaho received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to implement its state hemp program. With this approval, Idaho joins the majority of states that have already regulated the legality of hemp and hemp-derived products.

What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as Delta 9 THC or Δ-9-THC) is one of several forms of THC found in cannabis, which includes both hemp and marijuana. Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC compounds) are among the 113 cannabinoids recognized in cannabis.

Delta 9 occurs in both hemp and marijuana plants. THC in hemp has been a controversial topic in recent years. Hemp plants contain very low levels of Delta 9 THC, but because of their close relationship to marijuana plants, hemp has traditionally been confused with weed. This misunderstanding has led to a great deal of debate surrounding the legal status of hemp products. More recently, a significant amount of state and national legislation has aimed to classify industrial hemp in a separate (legal) category from marijuana.

All THC compounds produce psychoactive effects and make you feel high at a sufficient dosage, with Delta 9 THC providing the strongest effects. Our Delta 9 products contain THC micro doses so you experience the many benefits of Delta 9 without experiencing unwanted psychoactive effects.

Per the 2018 Farm Bill, Delta 9 THC products are legal in the US—if they meet the following conditions.

  1. The Delta 9 THC is derived from hemp, not marijuana
  2. Products contain 0.3% or less of Delta 9 THC by dry weight

Following the federal legalization of hemp for industrial purposes, Idaho followed up with similar state legislation authorizing the commercialization of Delta 9 THC products.The Idaho House Bill 126 was signed into law in 2021, which authorized the Idaho Department of Agriculture to administer a state hemp program and accordingly legalize industrial hemp in consumer products, as well as its large-scale growing and production.

The 2018 Farm Bill

The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the widespread production and commercialization of hemp derived products (including CBD oils, compliant THC gummies, and other products) on a federal level, and removed hemp from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) list of Controlled Substances.

This Bill differentiated industrial hemp from marijuana, which is cultivated for its high THC content. Federally legal hemp products, according to the Farm Bill, must contain less than 0.3% of THC on a dry weight basis, and the source of THC must be industrial hemp.

Even though hemp is legal on a federal level, each state can determine which hemp-derived products are legal in said state. For example, Delta 8 gummies are legal on a federal level but illegal in a number of states.

 

The 2018 Farm Bill gives states the authority to submit plans to the United States Secretary of Agriculture in order to have primary regulatory control over the production of hemp within their borders. The plans must include procedures for tracking the land on which hemp will be grown, as well as testing, disposal, enforcement, inspection, and certification procedures.

Idaho House Bill 126

Idaho was the 50th state in the country to legalize industrial hemp with a bill that passed the Idaho Legislature in April 2021. In October 2021, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved Idaho’s state plan for hemp regulation, and the department opened licensing applications in early November.

In 2021, Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 126 commonly referred to as the Idaho Industrial Hemp Law into law which legalized the growth, production, and transportation of industrial hemp in the state.

On April 16, 2021, Governor Little signed House Bill 126, legalizing the production and transport of hemp with up to 0.3% THC content, making Idaho the final state to legalize the crop after it was legalized federally in 2018.

Idaho has two licensing options available, one for handlers and one for producers. Handlers are permitted to process raw hemp materials, including seeds, into other materials, but does not authorize the growing of the crop. A licensed producer can grow and market the crop, including seeds.

Medical Marijuana in Idaho

The term “medical marijuana” refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. Studies show that the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, and can assist patients suffering from serious medical conditions by alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.

While some states have already legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the issue is still being hotly debated in many others. As of 2019, a total of 41 states in the US have successfully legislated medical marijuana programs, with 19 states adopting recreational cannabis programs, and 23 states decriminalizing all forms of cannabis entirely.

Marijuana is completely outlawed in Idaho for any use, recreational or medical. Idaho's marijuana prohibition laws are among the most restrictive in the US, with possession of even tiny quantities being a misdemeanor crime and no medical marijuana legalization.

Activists in Idaho have suggested a ballot effort to legalize medical marijuana in 2024. If the initiative passes, individuals with qualifying conditions would be able to purchase cannabis from state-licensed dispensaries, and those who cannot access or afford dispensaries will be able to cultivate up to six plants at home.

Hemp Derived Delta 9 vs Delta-9

There is no scientific difference between Delta-9 obtained from hemp and Delta-9 derived from marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are both types of the Cannabis sativa plant. They also share many of the same chemicals, such as CBD and Delta-9. There are two primary methods through which hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is manufactured.

Hemp Isomerization

One method is isomerization, in which manufacturers use chemical processes to turn hemp-derived CBD into Delta-9. Most manufacturers employ isomerization to generate Delta 8, Delta-10, and other common THC isomers. Delta-9 THC obtained in this manner is referred to as hemp-derived rather than hemp-extracted.

Delta 9 THC Extraction

Another popular technique is to take natural Delta-9 extract from hemp. This can happen during the distillation of other cannabinoids, such as CBD. As this method literally extracts Delta-9 from hemp, it’s referred to as hemp-extracted THC Delta-9.

Both methods remain legal ways to produce hemp Delta 9.

Delta 9 THC Effects

The effects of Delta 9 THC will vary from person to person. Previous experience with THC and the dosage you take will dictate how Delta 9 will affect you. THC users report feeling the following effects to varying degrees, depending on dosage taken:

  • euphoria
  • talkativeness
  • relaxation
  • an increase in appetite
  • perception changes

Studies find that microdosing Delta 9 THC—for example, taking a single gummy from nama CBD—has proven to provide all sorts of benefits.

Potential benefits of microdosing THC include

  • better pain tolerance
  • reduced anxiety
  • better focus
  • improved sleep
  • …and more

Delta 8 vs Delta 9

When comparing Delta 9 vs Delta 8 THC, note that both are cannabinoids found in cannabis. While both Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC interact with the body's endocannabinoid system and offer a variety of potential benefits, they each have their own unique effects.

Delta-9 THC is the most well-known type of THC cannabinoid product. It is the main psychoactive component in cannabis, and it is responsible for the plant's signature "high." Hemp Delta 9 THC as a more potent Delta strain of THC is also known for its medical benefits, which include pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and more.

A Delta 8 product is less potent than hemp Delta 9 THC product, making it a good choice for those who are new to cannabis or looking for a more gentle experience.

In terms of medical benefits, both cannabinoids have been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety and pain.

Delta 8 THC products are sometimes used to treat cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, as it can help to reduce nausea and vomiting. It is also being studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Delta 8 has also been shown to help with nausea and appetite loss, while Delta 9 products can improve focus and concentration.

However, more research is needed to confirm the efficacy of Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 in these potential applications.

Delta 9 THC Frequently Asked Questions

Does Delta 9 show up on drug tests?

Yes, Delta 9 will show up on a drug test, as will all other forms of THC. If you know you’re going to be drug tested, stop taking products with THC about a month or so before the test, even if the product in question is fully legal.

 

Can you sell Delta 9 gummies in Idaho?

No, at this moment Delta 9 gummies are illegal in Idaho since they contain THC.

 

What is stronger, Delta 9 or Delta-8?

Generally, Delta 9 THC is stronger than Delta 8 THC. According to a recent study, the effects of Delta 8 are much milder, with participants comparing this compound to ‘Delta 9’s younger sibling’. Due to their milder effects, Delta 8 gummies are a great choice for people new to products containing hemp.

 

How strong is Delta-9 THC?

The strength of Delta 9 and its effect on a person depends on 2 factors:

  1. The dose of Delta 9 taken
  2. How accustomed the consumer is to taking Delta 9 THC

Additionally, the following factors also influence how Delta 9 affects the person taking it:

 

  • What is the consumption method? Some THC substances travel through the lungs and become accessible more quickly (like vaping or smoking). Some products must be digested (like edibles, gummies, oils, or capsules). These various forms may influence how long it takes to affect your brain and how powerful Delta 9 will affect you. Some forms of consumption have a quick and intense impact, while others have a longer, constant, and less obvious psychoactive effect.
  • What is the quality of the Delta 9 used? Is it pure? Is it saturated with chemicals or other substances? What percentage of Delta 9 THC is consumed? Higher levels have far greater impacts.
  • How often is the product used? If you take Delta 9 THC and other cannabinoids on a daily basis, they will remain in your system and influence how responsive you are to new inputs of Delta 9.

 

Can you get Delta 8 in Idaho?

Delta-8 THC is illegal to buy in Idaho. State lawmakers prohibited the use, possession, sale, distribution, purchase, production, and promotion of Delta-8 products in 2021. All other THC isomers, including Delta-10, THC-O, and HHC, are also prohibited under Idaho state law.

If you live in another state, you can buy our Delta 8 gummies.

Delta 8 legality nationally

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) confirmed the illegal status of "synthetically produced THCs."

Because the hemp plant naturally generates minimal levels of Delta 8, manufacturers have used hemp-derived CBD to turn it into Delta 8 via isomerization.

Converting one chemical component into another, in this case, tetrahydrocannabinol, might be problematic since it permits the DEA to classify Delta 8 as a "synthetically generated tetrahydrocannabinol."

Delta 8 legality in Idaho

In 2021, Idaho Governor signed House Bill 126 into law. House Bill 126 prohibits processors from creating products through chemical isomerization, a simple process where Delta-8 is converted from isolated CBD using specialized chemicals in a laboratory setting.

Unfortunately, we cannot sell our Delta 8 gummies to Idaho residents.

 

What states can you get Delta-9?

Although the baseline law for legality of Delta 9 products is the 2018 Farm Bill, which most states simply transcribe into their state laws, some states have taken different approaches. Some states keep hemp Delta 9 products as legal, others restrict Delta 9 through regulation or outright banning it.

 

Hemp-derived Delta 9 products are legal in 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and D.C., with these states essentially following the Farm Bill when it comes to Delta-9

 

Hemp-derived CBD products are legal in Kansas but only if they contain 0% Delta-9 THC.

 

Idaho is the only state where hemp Delta-9 is explicitly banned.

 

Is Delta 9 an indica or sativa?

Delta 9 itself is neither an indica or a sativa, but it can come from either of the two main strain types of the cannabis plant: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. These cannabis plants produce different effects, as indica strains contain more CBD, leading to a more relaxing high. Unlike hemp-derived Delta 9, marijuana-derived Delta 9 THC is not federally legal.

 

Is Delta-9 legal in all states?

In December 2018, the U.S. Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill, federally legalizing hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis), from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

 

These products are now legal in 48 states which essentially follow the Farm Bill when it comes to Delta-9 legalization. Idaho and Kansas are the only two states where hemp Delta 9 is explicitly banned.

 

Do Delta 9 Gummies show up on a drug test?

Yes, even if you consume legal Delta 9 Gummies, you may fail a drug test. If you only took Delta 9 once, it will likely be cleared from your urine in four days or less. If you have taken it habitually, it can take a month or more to clear your system for a drug test.

 

Can I fly with Delta 9 gummies?

Yes, you can fly to and from 48 US states with hemp-derived Delta 9 gummies that contain less than 0.3% of THC, except Idaho. If you are traveling abroad, the legality status of hemp products in your destination country will dictate whether you can fly with Delta 9. Remember, hemp is a controlled substance in many countries, and even fully illegal in some.

 

Is Delta 9 federally legal?

The Farm Bill that was passed in 2018 made it legal in the United States to grow and sell hemp-derived products that contain 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This law applies to all states in the US, plus Puerto Rico and D.C.

 

However, some states have additional restrictions on Delta-9 THC, and California is the only state with general restrictions on hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. These restrictions involve testing requirements and packaging restrictions.

 

Despite these restrictions, hemp Delta 9 products are still legal in 48 states, making them widely available to consumers across the country.

 

Is Delta-10 legal in Idaho?

Scientists classify Delta 10 THC as semi-synthetic since it is created by substantially altering the CBD component. This is where the legal difficulties of Delta-10 enter in. In its Interim Final Rule, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) affirmed that "all synthetically generated tetrahydrocannabinol remain Schedule I Controlled Substances.”

Idaho’s stance on Delta 10 appears to be the same as for Delta 8: that it cannot be legally manufactured, produced, or sold in Idaho.

 

Is THC-O legal in Idaho?

No, like Delta-8, you cannot legally purchase any hemp or marijuana-derived delta-10, THC-O, or HHC products in Idaho under state law.

 

Although it is federally legal, THC-O is not legal in all US states, and many have revoked its legal status in recent years due to its potency. If you consume THC-O in Idaho, keep track of any changes to hemp industry laws that may jeopardize its legality status.

 

Does Delta-9 get you stoned?

Delta 9 THC can get you “high” or “stoned” at a high enough dosage. Delta 9 gummies are a type of cannabis-infused candy that contain lower doses of Delta 9 THC. Our Delta 9 gummies will not make you high if you follow our recommended dosage—but you will experience the beneficial effects of Delta 9.

 

The effects of Delta 9 products can vary depending on the person, with factors such as genetics, tolerance levels, and other variables playing a role. However, generally speaking, Delta 9 THC is known for causing relaxation, euphoria, and increased appetite. If you're new to Delta 9 gummies, it's important to start with a low dose and see how you react before consuming more.

 

Which weed strains are best for focus?

There are a number of marijuana strains for improving anxiety and focus, including Blackberry Kush, Charlotte’s Web, and Granddaddy Purple.

 

Our hybrid Delta 9 THC, included in our gummies and edibles, also seems to help our customers with anxiety and focus, and is in low enough doses that they don’t get high. Plus, it’s legal, both on a federal level and in Idaho!
