You may be new to Delta 9 Gummies and are curious if they have THC in them. In this blog, we will discuss the difference between THC and Delta 9 and explore if Delta 9 Gummies have THC. We will also help you understand what to expect from Delta 9 edibles and if they are safe. 

What Is THC?

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive compound found in the Cannabis plant. It’s responsible for the feeling of euphoria - or “high” - that many people associate with Marijuana use. THC interacts with the body’s Endocannabinoid System, specifically binding to CB1 receptors in the brain, which influence mood, memory, pain sensation and appetite. There are different forms of THC (Delta 9, Delta 8, Delta 10, THCA, HHC, etc), but Delta 9 THC is the most well-known and potent version. It’s the compound most often referenced when people talk about the effects of Cannabis.

What Is Delta 9?

Delta 9 is the most prevalent type of THC in Cannabis. It is found in both Marijuana and Hemp plants. When you smoke Marijuana, Delta 9 THC is the main cannabinoid that causes the psychoactive effects. 

Are Delta 9 Gummies Legal?

Despite Delta 9 THC being a controlled substance at the federal level when derived from Marijuana, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and its derivatives - as long as they contain no more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight.

This loophole allows manufacturers to create Delta 9 THC Gummies derived from Hemp. Hemp product manufacturers simply formulate them to meet the 0.3% rule by making the gummies large enough to legally contain an intoxicating dose of Delta 9. 

So, yes, Delta 9 gummies are federally legal, provided they are derived from Hemp and meet the strict concentration limits. 

What to Expect From Delta 9 Gummies

Delta 9 gummies can produce strong psychoactive effects - including euphoria, altered perception, relaxation and increased appetite. For some users, it can also cause anxiety or paranoia, especially at higher doses or for first-time users.

Here’s what to keep in mind when trying THC edibles:

• Start with a small dose to see how your body reacts. Mystic Labs Delta 9 Gummies are 10mg. However, you can safely cut our infused gummies in ½ or ¼ pieces to start with a lower dose. 
• Gummies are metabolized through the digestive system, so it can take 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effects. Most users begin to experience the effects within an hour. However the most intensive effects may not set in until two hours. So give your body some time before taking more Delta 9.
• The effects of Delta 9 edibles can last four to eight hours depending on dosage, metabolism and individual tolerance. So, be prepared to be at home or somewhere comfortable for that duration. 

Are Delta 9 Gummies Safe?

When used responsibly and in moderation, Delta 9 THC is generally considered safe for most adults, especially when sourced from reputable brands that use third-party lab testing. However, it can impair judgment, coordination and reaction time, so never drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of Delta 9 Gummies. It is also very important to keep Delta 9 Gummies safely away from children and pets.

People with a history of anxiety, schizophrenia or heart conditions should consult a doctor before using THC products. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid them altogether.

Always purchase from reliable sources that offer premium THC products and provide lab reports to verify purity, potency and compliance with legal THC limits. Mystic Labs has every batch of our Delta 9 Gummies verified by an independent lab.

Do Delta 9 Gummies Have THC?

Absolutely. In fact, Delta 9 is THC. Thanks to advancements in Hemp processing and a legal loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, it’s now possible to buy legal Delta 9 THC gummies in many parts of the United States, provided they meet the 0.3% limit by dry weight.

Conclusion

Delta 9 Gummies do contain THC - specifically, Delta 9 THC. While THC is often associated with Marijuana, Delta 9 can also be legally derived from Hemp. This has opened the door for consumers to legally purchase and enjoy Delta 9 Gummies throughout the United States
