THC is the abbreviation for tetrahydrocannabinol, a cannabinoid known for its potential to cause intoxication, while providing many health and wellness benefits. Cannabis plants, including industrial hemp, produce THC in varying amounts. Although using hemp-derived products made with enhanced levels of THC may not be right for everyone, many find the combined effects of CBD and THC quite helpful. Like CBD, THC has the potential to reduce inflammation after physical activity, promote a restful night’s sleep, boost immune function, and more.

All three types of THC bind with the receptors in our endocannabinoid system. Based on current research, delta-8 seems to be about half as potent as delta-9. Delta-10 THC has a reputation for being closely aligned with delta-8 yet is found in such small amounts that relatively few companies offer delta-10 THC products. While delta-8 and delta-10 are generating a fair amount of attention throughout our industry, most of the products on the market contain these synthetic delta-8 and delta-10 THC compounds. Harsh solvents are used in the conversion of Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC product processing, which often includes many unidentified, potentially harmful, byproducts. All Delta-9 THC in CBDistillery’s products is naturally occurring and extracted from non-GMO, U.S. grown hemp plants, meaning it reigns supreme for overall health and wellness. 

Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and marijuana-derived Delta-9 THC are the same compound. The only difference is in the level of THC in the plant it comes from. Based on the 2018 Farm Bill, when the plant contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis it is considered hemp. If the plant contains more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis it is considered marijuana.
