It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if someone says cannabis is one of nature’s most beneficial gifts to mankind, though it’s often misused and mostly misunderstood. Within cannabis plants, there are many compounds that can have various effects on humans. If you aren’t new to cannabis, you may have already heard about these ‘cannabinoids’. Among all cannabinoids, the most popular would be CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol).
The more potent of the two is THC which became popular due to its psychotropic properties. By psychotropic, we mean hallucinatory or mind-altering. Despite its psychotropic nature, THC enjoys huge demand in many forms of varying potency with limited and temporary occasional side effects. However, one particular variant of THC called Delta-9 THC stirred up a lot of controversy, leading to legal issues. Delta-9 THC is now illegal in most states in the United States under federal law. This led to the general public believing that THC itself is illegal, which is not the case.
Unlike delta-9 THC, there are less potent and more recreational variants of THC now – Delta-8 and Delta-10.
Let’s get into the differences between the two.
Delta-8 THC
Unlike delta-9 which is a major cannabinoid, delta-8 is much subtler and safer. Delta-8 is also a ‘cannabinoid’ found in cannabis plants – hemp and marijuana. However, it’s psychotropic effects are mellow and crafted specifically to help the user relax. It can also be used for stress relief and for suppressing physical pain.
Delta-10 THC
While delta-8 soon started replacing delta-9 in the market, another harmless variant of THC popped up in the market. Called the Delta-10 THC, this cannabinoid was discovered by accident in a forest fire by California-based Fusion Farms. The psychotropic effects of Delta-10 are much lower than delta-8 and significantly lower than delta-9.
What Should You Choose
At KC Smokz, we offer the finest quality of both delta-8 and delta-10 THC. And we recommend both because we believe they don’t have any harmful side effects provided they are taken the way they should be. But if you just want to try one, let us help you make that decision.
Psychotropic Effects
Delta-9 THC is known for its intense psychotropic potency that could lead to problems like anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia and possibly even depression. Delta-8 THC only offers a mild high to users while enhancing their mood and their appetite, while also helping them feel relaxed without any intense mind-altering effects. Delta-10 THC has a weaker sedative potency, and offers a milder high than delta-8 that improves the consumer’s focus and gives them an energy boost.
If you had a busy day at work and just want to sleep peacefully, you can take delta-8 which can give you a naturally sound sleep without the typical effects of sedatives and medical sleep aids.
If you are about to have a busy day at work and want to give it your best, you can take delta-10 which will keep you energized longer with improved focus. It’s pretty much similar to a strong cup of coffee, but slightly stronger without any mind-numbing side effects.
All that remains is to figure out the right dosage for you, which can vary from person to person. Feel free to drop by KC Smokz and our staff can help you figure it out while you explore our collection of the purest extracts of delta-8 and delta-10 THC.
