Delta-9 THC, a highly potent cannabinoid, stirred up some controversy due to its psychotropic properties and harmful side effects. The cannabinoid soon became federally illegal, which then led to foray of delta-8 THC into the market. Delta-8 was originally synthesized decades ago but only became a legal consumable recently. It was milder than its predecessor, and offered several therapeutic benefits. While delta-8 grew in popularity, another THC popped up.
Known as Delta-10 THC, it quickly gained favor from cannabis enthusiasts and casual consumers for its subtle yet enjoyable effects. Due to lack of sufficient research on delta-10, not many people know much about the cannabinoid.
This blog answers some of the most common questions from the community on delta-10 THC.
What is Delta-10?
It’s a cannabinoid – a natural compound present in Hemp plants, specifically known as Tetrahydrocannabinol. There are hundreds of other cannabinoids in the plant and not all have been explored much. The compound THC offers various psychoactive effects. Delta-10 THC is considered to be the safest cannabis derivative that offers therapeutic effects without little to no side effects. It’s also consumed to reduce anxiety and stress, though it isn’t a medical supplement.
What makes Delta-10 different?
One key difference is in federal and state legality. While delta-9 became illegal, delta-8 and delta-10 THC are federally legal in most states in the US. Another difference lies in potency. Delta-10 is mild compared to the potent delta-9 but still is considered to be slightly more potent than delta-8.
Is delta-10 the most superior THC?
Our team at KC Smokz believes it all comes down to personal preferences. Delta-10 offers almost the same effects as delta-9 but is much subtler and is federally legal. In a way, it is superior to delta-9 in terms of benefits and legality but not when it comes to potency.
Does Delta-10 THC cost more than Delta-8?
Yes, it does cost slightly more than what used to be the cost of delta-9 and the current cost of delta-8. This is primarily because it’s not easy to manufacture delta-10 from hemp. Only a few producers of delta-10 are in the market today. So the competitive market is low. Hence, the price will be higher. But considering the welcome it’s getting, we can expect the price to go down a bit very soon.
How is delta-10 legal?
The 2018 Farm Bill allows producers to legally manufacture and distribute delta-10 products to US consumers, provided that the product only contains less than 0.3% delta-9 THC. It’s classified legally as hemp.
Can I send delta-10 THC legally through the mail?
As per a clarification published in the USPS Regulations, federally legal hemp products can be shipped legally within the US. Go ahead and mail it to your friend in a different state through the United States Postal Service.
That’s all for now.
Remember that there may be state regulations that require you to be at minimum age to purchase delta-10. If you are interested in trying it, do visit us at KC Smokz for the most competitive prices in Kansas City, Missouri.
