Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as Delta-9 THC or D9 THC, is the primary psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It is what most people refer to when they talk about the component in cannabis that provides a ‘high’.
D9 THC naturally occurs in cannabis. In its raw form, cannabis contains THC in its acidic form, THCA, which is non-psychoactive. Through a process called decarboxylation, which involves heat, THCA is converted into THC. This process can occur naturally as the plant dries or can be induced through cooking, smoking, or vaporization.
When consumed, D9 THC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, affecting various functions including perception, mood, memory, and coordination. The effects can vary widely depending on the individual, the dosage, and the method of consumption, but typically include:
D9 THC’s effects are due to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes. Understanding the ECS is crucial for researching the potential therapeutic applications of THC.
Federal and State Laws
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are federally legal in the United States. However, the legality of D9 THC can vary greatly from state to state. Some states have embraced the Farm Bill’s guidance, while others have stricter regulations.
At FeelGoodShop Plus, we ensure that our High Kloud gummies comply with all federal regulations regarding hemp-derived products. We also rigorously follow state laws and only distribute our products in states where D9 THC is legally permitted.
It’s important for consumers to be aware that while D9 THC may be legal at the federal level, state laws can be more restrictive.
