Are Delta 9 Gummies the Strongest?

By Sarah Lippel

When it comes to THC, Delta 9 is commonly recognized as the most potent form sold in the hemp and cannabis markets. However, consumers may be unaware that Delta 9 is just one of the 100+ unique compounds found in the cannabis plant that all serve slightly different effects. But is Delta 9 the strongest of the group? Read on to explore how this hemp-derived compound compares to the others, what makes it stand out and whether it lives up to its powerful reputation.

What Is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive component found in the cannabis plant. The compound binds to CB1 receptors in the brain, which then activates the “high” feeling associated with a traditional THC experience. As Delta 9 has become more popular and convenient, consistently dosed products, like gummies, are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. The bill states that they cannot contain more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. This allows customers to enjoy the benefits of Delta 9 while not crossing any legal barriers.

How Strong Are Delta 9 Gummies?

Delta 9 gummies have become incredibly popular for their ability to deliver psychoactive, long-lasting effects in a delicious, bite-sized form. When compared to gummies infused with other “high” inducing cannabinoids like Delta 8 and HHC, Delta 9 typically induces a more intense experience with a quicker onset. The strength of your Delta 9 Gummies depends on a few factors such as:

• Milligram dosage per gummy: When it comes to Delta 9 gummies, there are an array of dosage levels to choose from to find the perfect level of strength for an enjoyable THC experience. Here at Mystic Labs™, we offer our original, sleep and sugar-free edibles with 10mg per serving, low-dose edibles with 8mg per serving, and our CBD + Delta 9 hybrid blend with 6mg per serving. With stronger doses such as our 10mg options, consumers are likely to experience stronger feelings of euphoria, relaxation and boosted mood.
• Individual tolerance: New users vs. those who are more seasoned will experience THC gummies differently based on their individual tolerance. While first-timers may experience strong effects from half of the suggested gummy serving size, everyday users typically need to increase their dose to meet their THC tolerance needs.
• Full spectrum vs. isolate: Delta 9 gummy strength also depends on the form of THC consumed. Full spectrum THC gummies include a blend of terpenes and cannabinoids, potentially inducing a less potent high. Isolate Delta 9 gummies, however, contain pure THC and offer a “purer” psychoactive and targeted effect.

Delta 9 vs. Delta 8 vs. HHC: Strength Breakdown

So, are Delta 9 gummies the strongest hemp-infused edible? Let’s break it down by comparing the three most popular “high” inducing edibles.

• Delta 9 THC Gummies: These are the most potent, inducing both a head and body “high”.
• Delta 8 THC Gummies: Commonly referred to as “weed-lite” Delta 8 gummies induce a milder high, with less potent psychoactive effects.
• HHC Gummies: The HHC gummy experience is quite similar to that of Delta 8, providing milder effects with an increase in energy and euphoria.

Though Delta 9 gummies win in terms of potency and intensity, the “strongest” option varies depending on individual experience and effect preference. While some consumers are more interested in the intense effects Delta 9 infused edibles can provide, others may prefer the lighter effects of Delta 8 and HHC gummies, especially for daytime usage.
