Delta 9 Edibles: A Smoke-free Alternative

What are Delta-9 Edibles?

Delta-9 edibles are delicious food-based THC products that contain cannabinoids sourced from both hemp and cannabis plants. These are infused with either cannabinoid extracts or concentrates.  These delectable treats come in a variety of forms, flavors, and potencies. They provide an alternative means to consume cannabis without smoking it.

How Do Delta-9 Edibles Work?

The hemp-derived cannabinoids in Delta-9 THC edibles are absorbed and metabolized through the digestive tract and the liver when consumed orally through THC gummies and edibles. 

The Delta-9 is then converted into a metabolite called 11-hydroxy tetrahydrocannabinol (11-OH-THC or 11-hydroxy-THC). It’s a substance created within the body and isn’t naturally occurring in the cannabis plant. 

11-hydroxy-THC can produce a more potent high compared to the effects of inhaled products. It is this metabolization process that also causes the delayed onset and lengthy duration of effects when consuming Delta-9 hemp edibles.

How Long Does It Take for Delta-9 Edibles to Take Effect?

The time this process generally takes depends on many factors. Sublingual formats like tinctures and beverages have an average onset time of 15 minutes, with the effects lasting for 2 to 4 hours. The onset time of food-based THC gummies can range from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, with the effects lasting as long as 8 hours or more. 

Ultimately, the time it takes for edibles to kick in depends on a variety of factors, including your metabolism, body weight, and size, tolerance levels, product strength, and more.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that Delta-9 THC edibles may not take full effect right away. If you’re eating an edible or drinking a beverage with Delta-9 THC, it’s important to be patient and give the cannabis time to activate. While some people may feel the effects immediately, it can take up to 2 hours or more for others.

Once activated, Delta-9 THC binds quickly to cannabinoid receptors in your brain and body to provide a variety of health benefits. It’s important to note that the effects of Delta-9 THC can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, depending on how much you consume. If you eat a large edible with a high concentration of Delta-9 THC, the effects may last even longer – up to 12 or more hours.

Delta-9 Edibles: Dosing Tips

Dosing is personal and depends on many factors, including lifestyle, tolerance level, product potency, etc. Everyone experiences the effects differently, and new users should start slowly to ensure the right dosage; a little goes a long way. Let’s go over a few points to get you started. 

Always read the product label carefully. The potency of the product may be tricky to understand at first glance. For example, gummies containing 100mg of THC per package, with ten pieces in it, will have 10mg each. A small dose from Delta-9 THC gummies is between 1mg to 5mg, usually just a bite or two.

Another helpful method is microdosing. This involves consuming edibles in smaller doses over a longer period, giving consumers better control over their experience. 

Taking low amounts of edibles at a time can amplify the effects of compounds like THC, thanks to something called the biphasic effect. Delta-9 gummies and other cannabinoids may work best when consumers take them on a full stomach. This will allow the compounds to be processed more slowly, reducing any unwanted side effects. It’s also thought that consuming edibles with other fatty foods, including cheese, may help to enhance the experience.

Some consumers reported instances when they suffered what’s called green out after over-consuming THC. This phenomenon isn’t deadly or harmful and is something that will pass with time. Consumers may feel dizziness, increased heart rate, and nausea. If this happens to you, the best strategy is to stay calm and hydrated. If you have also consumed other substances like alcohol, you should get medical help.

Types of Delta-9 Edibles

There are numerous hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products available in the U.S. market. Check out this shortlist of the more common formats below:

  • Soft chews, such as Delta-9 THC gummies.
  • Hard candy with a range of flavors, including lollipops and lozenges.
  • Chocolate.
  • Baked goods like cookies, pretzels, and more.
  • Beverages of all kinds.
  • Tinctures and sprays derived from a variety of carrier oils.
  • Capsules or softgels.
  • Infused ingredients like hot sauce and sugar, etc.

It’s important to remember that the THC content in Delta-9 edibles can vary greatly, so it’s always best to check the label. Additionally, many states have set limits for how much THC is allowed in a single serving of an edible product.

Are Delta-9 Edibles Legal?

The legality of Delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) edibles is complex and depends on where you live and the specific regulations surrounding cannabis in that jurisdiction. Here’s a general overview based on U.S. federal and state laws as of my last update in 2022:

Federal Law

  • Marijuana vs. Hemp: The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp and its derivatives, including CBD. Hemp is defined as the cannabis plant containing 0.3% or less THC on a dry weight basis. In contrast, marijuana contains more than 0.3% THC and remains illegal at the federal level.
  • Delta-9 THC from Hemp: Even though hemp is federally legal, any product derived from hemp, including edibles, that contains more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC is still considered illegal under federal law.
  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA): The FDA has not approved Delta-9 THC or CBD for use in food or dietary supplements. This means it’s technically federally illegal to sell edibles containing these cannabinoids. However, enforcement has primarily focused on health claims rather than Delta-9 edibles for sale.

State Laws

  • Recreational Cannabis States: Some states have legalized recreational use of marijuana, which means Delta-9 THC edibles are legal for adults over a certain age, typically 21. In these states, edibles can often be purchased at licensed dispensaries.
  • Medical Cannabis States: In states with medical marijuana programs, legal Delta-9 edibles might be available to patients with qualifying conditions. Patients typically need to obtain a recommendation from a physician and register with the state’s program.
  • CBD-only or Limited THC States: Some states have limited THC programs that might allow specific low-THC cannabis products for certain conditions but may not allow higher THC edibles.
  • Prohibited States: Some states have not legalized any form of cannabis, meaning Delta-9 THC edibles would be illegal in those jurisdictions.

Important Considerations

  • Travel: While it might be legal to possess and consume Delta-9 THC edibles in one state, crossing state lines with these products could be a federal offense, as marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.
  • Dynamic Landscape: Cannabis laws are rapidly evolving, with many states continually reviewing and updating their regulations. It’s crucial to stay informed about the most recent laws in your area.
  • Production: In states where Delta-9 THC is legal, there are often stringent testing and production standards for edibles to ensure consumer safety and accurate labeling.

The legality of Delta-9 edibles largely depends on where you are and the specific laws of that jurisdiction. Always consult local regulations and legal professionals for the most accurate and current information.

FAQs

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-based Delta-9 is federally recognized as legal, allowing it to be transported across state boundaries. While you can certainly carry them on road trips, if you’re flying, it’s wise to reach out to your chosen airline to confirm their policies about carrying hemp-based Delta-9 edibles.

While some might ponder about the sleep-related effects of Delta-9 THC edibles, we refrain from making any medical claims. If you’re struggling with sleep, always consult a healthcare professional. Before trying any hemp-infused product, a conversation with a physician is recommended.

While many are curious about the potential pain-relieving effects of Delta-9 THC edibles, we don’t make medicinal claims. Discuss any pain-related concerns or interest in hemp-infused products with a healthcare provider.

Delta-8 THC is an analog of Delta-9 and is found in much smaller concentrations in the cannabis plant. Although Delta-8 has psychoactive effects, they are generally perceived as milder and clearer than those from Delta-9. Check out our blog about Delta-8 vs Delta-9 to learn more.
