Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, known as Delta 9 THC or Δ-9-THC, is the main compound found in cannabis. At low doses, Delta 9 can:
- Decreasing stress and anxiety
- Improving focus and concentration
- Improving memory
- Promoting sleep
- Promoting appetite and fighting eating disorders
- Alleviating chronic pain (including migraines) and reducing inflammation
- Inducing relaxation
Read more about the benefits of microdosing cannabis and how you can safely incorporate small amounts of Delta 9 THC, CBD, CBG, and Delta 8 to your daily routine.
How Does Delta 9 Affect the Brain?
Delta 9 interacts with our endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce its effects. The ECS produces chemical signals called cannabinoids that interact with its CB1 and CB2 receptors. Plant-based cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids) mimic the action of our native cannabinoids and regulate the ECS.
Low doses of THC and CBD can calm pain signals, alleviate stress and anxiety, and relax muscles and nerves—all through interacting with our CB1 and CB2 receptors.
All nama Delta 9 products—such as our Delta 9 edibles—contain low amounts of Delta 9 and other helpful cannabinoids that offer a plethora of beneficial effects. The combination of cannabis compounds and their enhanced beneficial properties are referred to as the entourage effect.
The Entourage Effect
Cannabis products usually contain more than one cannabinoid. The entourage effect proposes that when cannabis compounds are taken together, they amplify each other’s beneficial effects. The effects of Delta 9 and CBD are each enhanced by the presence of the other.
Experience the entourage effect with our full spectrum CBD gummies. They contain Delta 9 THC, cannabidiol, CBN, CBC, and other minor cannabinoids and terpenes.
If you’re struggling with sleep, our Sleep Plus Gummies might bring you relief. These vegan gummies contain 25mg of CBD combined with only 2 mg of Delta 9 to promote healthy sleep patterns and fight insomnia.
The full entourage effect can be produced by full spectrum CBD products, as they contain all cannabinoids. Broad spectrum CBD gummies contain the majority of cannabinoids except Delta 9. Take CBN gummies for example. They combine the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) to induce relaxation and alleviate pain.

How Long Does it Take to Feel the Effects?
Gummies deliver a slower yet more sustained cannabis experience. They take time to enter the bloodstream via the digestive tract. You’ll feel the effects of Delta 9 gummies 30 minutes at the earliest, but often more like an hour or two. Depending on the THC concentration, your metabolism, and your genetic makeup, the effects of edibles will last for several hours (often as long as 8).
Some of our Delta 9 products are faster acting. Thanks to a unique relaxation-promoting blend of cannabinoids and terpenes, our Relax Plus Gummies are able to achieve results in 15 minutes. 5mg of Delta 9 will ensure a light buzz.
How Much THC is in Delta 9 Gummies?
The amount of Delta 9 in each nama edible product is stated on the product’s label. Our Delta 9 gummies contain anywhere from 2-10mg of THC. Anything under 10 mg Delta 9 THC is considered a low-dose product, while 5 mg and below is a microdose.
