Delta 9 Gummies FAQ
What is the difference between hemp-derived Delta 9 and Delta-9?
There is no scientific difference between Delta-9 obtained from hemp and Delta 9 derived from marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are both Cannabis sativa. Hemp has been legally defined as cannabis that contains no more than 0.3% THC, while marijuana is cannabis with THC concentrations above that threshold.
Hemp-derived Delta 9 is regular Delta 9; they are not different from one another—chemically- speaking. In a legal sense, they are very different: one is federally legal and the other is not.
There are two primary methods through which hemp-derived Delta 9 THC is manufactured.
-
Isomerization turns hemp-derived CBD into Delta-9. Most manufacturers employ isomerization to generate Delta 8 THC, Delta-10, and other common THC isomers. Delta-9 THC obtained in this manner is referred to as hemp-derived rather than hemp-extracted.
-
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.
Is Delta-9 stronger than Delta-8?
Delta 9 produces stronger effects than Delta-8 THC. According to a study on consumer experiences with Delta 8, its effects are milder and less psychoactive than Delta 9’s.
Researchers at the University of Buffalo found that Delta-8 gummies cause feelings of relaxation and pain relief—without interfering with the users’ ability to perform daily activities. That’s a great reason to add Delta-8 products—like our Elevate Gummies—to your microdosing routine.
There are ways in which Delta 9 and Delta 8 products differ—like their potency—so make sure to inform yourself before making a decision to purchase.
Can you take Delta-9 gummies every day?
There is no reason why you shouldn’t take small amounts of Delta-9 THC every day. In order to get the best results from the product you’re microdosing, it’s important to be patient and consistent.
People who microdose medical cannabis enjoy this safe and efficient way to reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep, and experience other benefits. The key is to find the right dose, ratio, and concentration that works for you. We always recommend starting low and slowly increasing the dosage.
Are CBD vapes safe?
Cannabis vaping is not considered a particularly safe method of consumption. Despite this, CBD vapes have become popular recently. They work rather fast: you can feel the effects of CBD almost immediately. You can consume CBD via a vape pen, vape oil, or vape cartridges and you’ll get faster results than with a gummy.
However, inhaling CBD is far from the healthiest way to consume CBD. Vape cartridges can be difficult to dose and you never know the exact amount of CBD you’re getting. Plus, their effects are way too short compared to CBD gummies.
There are many other safer ways to get your dose of cannabidiol other than vaping.
-
CBD oils
-
CBD tinctures
-
CBD capsules
-
CBD topicals
Take our CBD gummies, for an example. They offer a safe and controlled method of consumption not only CBD but other cannabinoids, as well. You never have to worry about overconsuming with these badass vegan, hemp-derived edibles.
Does Delta 9 THC get you high?
At higher doses—more than our edibles contain—Delta 9 THC can get you high. Our edibles are perfect for microdosing and shouldn’t cause a high if you stick to a single dose (one gummy or edible per serving).
Is 5mg of Delta 9 good for sleep?
Yes, for experienced users, 5 mg of THC is a good dosage for sleep. If you’re new to THC, start with a lower dosage (1-2 mg) and work your way up to 5 mg over time.
If you have trouble sleeping, read our guide to microdosing Delta 9 for sleep. Start your microdosing journey in a safe and effective way with our Sleep Plus Gummies with Delta 9.
Can I take Delta-8 THC for sleep?
Yes, you can take gummies with Delta 8 THC if you’re having trouble sleeping. Delta 8 and Delta 9 are both forms of cannabis THC. Just like big brother Delta 9, Delta 8 can improve sleep for some people.
What is a THC beverage?
A THC beverage is a drink that contains cannabis oil that has undergone processing to make it water soluble. The oil’s particles can then be uniformly infused throughout the beverage.
THC beverages include seltzers, sodas, teas and non-alcoholic wine and beer. If you feel like buzzing up your Saturday night, our Buzz Drops are the right way to go.
