While Delta 9 THC makes headlines, Delta 8 has risen to the surface and gained acclaim of its own thanks to the similarities it shares with the former. They may be similar in psychoactive effects and molecular makeup, but Delta 8 is primarily derived from hemp plants, due to it being scarcely found in cannabis plants.

The many methods of consumption play a massive role in the exponential popularity of Delta-8. Disposable vapes filled with extract, infused edibles, and of course, the tried and true flower that can be smoked in your favorite glass piece or rolled up into a paper of your liking are all accessible ways to enjoy the effects of this cannabinoid.

Delta 8 has flown under the radar for many years because of its milder effects when compared to its famous cousin, Delta 9. The silver lining in these reportedly tame effects is that you can rest easy and enjoy all the fun without having to worry about negative side effects like paranoia, anxiety, or the infamous “couch locked” syndrome.

Yes! Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, many hemp derived products are enjoying lax regulations and as a result have become widely accessible. The key here is to make sure that any of these goods contain less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC which Fire Delta 8 makes certain that all products in our catalog comply with this completely.

Any effects from Delta 8 are not permanent or life-threatening. Users report red/dry eyes, dry mouth, and drowsiness. It is recommended to consult with your physician before you consume D8 as everyone’s response to this cannabinoid does differ.

When facing a drug test, your best bet is to stay away from any cannabinoid substance as there are small traces of THC. CBD is the only cannabinoid available that does not contain minute traces of THC and will not reflect on a drug test.

Delta-9 THC, mainly known as THC, is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found in abundant quantities in marijuana. It is derived directly from the cannabis and hemp plants and is the responsible substance that induces the “high” many people associate with consuming cannabis. Delta 9 is even found in products today, only very minute traces are integrated in order to stay in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill.

When THC molecules cross the blood-brain barrier, they discover that they are able to bind to receptors that typically only accept endocannabinoids, which the body makes on its own. THC molecules diffuse into synapses in the brain where they activate CB1 receptors, some users report that you may feel euphoric.

As of 2022, cannabis usage is legal in 38 states in varied degrees for recreational, medicinal, or both purposes. Delta-9 THC products consisting of more than .3% of THC have not been made federally legal, so the government of the state you live in controls the deciding factor as to whether delta-9 is legal where you reside. But, our delta-9 THC collections at Fire Delta 8 fully comply with the 2018 Farm Bill, incorporating less than .3% of the compound, deeming them legal.

Delta-9 THC produces the most side effects to any other compound found in the cannabis plant. The most common reported negative effects are: disconnected thoughts, anxiety, changes in blood pressure, lack of motivation, and drowsiness.

Drug tests are designed to show whether an individual has recently consumed THC, Delta-9 THC is the main substance they are looking for. So, to answer that question, it will 100% induce a failed drug test. It is recommended to stay away from using any cannabinoid if you will be drug tested.

Delta 11 may be the newest cannabinoid to make headlines, but it has been known for quite some time. The first mention of Delta 11 was in a 1974 paper on cannabis use and was studied in more detail in a 1990 laboratory study. This is a rare and natural variant of THC (D9) found in very small traces in cannabis and hemp, and is growing in popularity due to its potential usefulness.

One study has shown that 11-hydroxy-THC is up to three times more potent than delta 9; however, 11-hydroxy-THC and Delta 11 are quite different. There haven’t been many D11 products to have hit the markets yet, and since there are no recent studies, it is up to the consumers to confirm whether it is more potent for themselves.

The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp-derived goods and commodities, as long as they consist of less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC. All of our Delta 11 products contain less than 0.3% Delta 9 to stay in accordance with this bill to provide you legal ways to consume this all-new cannabinoid.

Currently, there aren’t many studies on the negative side effects as this is a rare cannabinoid, with even more rare products to find. There has been historical research on the existence of this cannabinoid, but there haven’t been any recent attempts to further study. Since this is a variation of THC, there are chances that you may experience some of the common side effects associated with hemp, including dry eyes, nausea, disconnected thoughts, etc.

Delta 11 is a cannabinoid derived from hemp plants, so consumption will show positive for THC on a drug test. It is important to note that even with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC consisting in the product, it is not vacant of Delta 9 and has a good chance to show.

Cannabidiol, generally known as CBD, has become one of the most popular cannabinoids of this era and is one of the many cannabinoids found in cannabis and hemp plants. Similar to other cannabinoids, CBD is mostly contained in the resinous regions of the cannabis flower rather than in the stem, seeds, or leaves of the plant. This extract has been used for a variety of products including tinctures, edibles, flower, concentrates, disposables, cartridges, and more. CBD has become a sensation due to its calming properties and the promotion of much deeper and more restful sleep.

Despite being categorized as a psychoactive compound, CBD does not get you high. This is because CBD has a tough time activating the CB1 receptor. According to research, it reduces the CB1 receptor’s effectiveness, which is the complete opposite of THC. There are effects that will be felt but are nothing in comparison to consuming servings of Delta 9 and are significantly more subdued.

Yes! Hemp-derived products containing less than .3% of delta-9 THC have been considered federally legal since the 2018 Farm Bill was put into effect, including CBD. Although not legal in every state, CBD’s recent scientific breakthroughs has proven to show signs of assisting in chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, and more.

Similar to most cannabinoids, CBD shares many of the common side effects associated with hemp-based products. Dry mouth, dry eyes, nausea, reduced or increased appetite. There are potential other side effects, and it is recommended to consult with your physician prior to consuming CBD to make sure you are not at risk, even though CBD is not reported to show severe negative side effects compared to THC.

Your endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is in charge of maintaining equilibrium in some of the most important bodily processes, is positively impacted by CBD when consumed. In reaction to external disruptions, such as physical and mental stress, the ECS’s main job is to maintain the body in a condition of homeostasis. This is where CBD comes into play.

When consuming hemp products, it is important to note that there then be small traces of THC. However, CBD is one of the only cannabinoids available that contains 0% THC and will not result in a positive test for cannabis.

THC-O, or THC O acetate, is a semi-synthetic compound derived from hemp and has risen very quickly in popularity. Although there are studies reported from the 1940s, recent interest in this compound has sparked further investigation. This molecule is created by adding acetic anhydride to Delta 8 THC molecules after being extracted from CBD. Do not try and make THC-O at home, as it has been proven by Dr. Ethan Russo that “the process of making thc o acetate is inherently dangerous.” This is why THC-O products are created in sophisticated laboratories with no exposure to humans.

THC-O is a derivative of hemp and has been reported by news outlets to be up to three times more potent than Delta 9 THC. Although not proven by much scientific research, users refer to THC-O as the “spiritual cannabinoid.” Users have reported experiencing an uplifting and euphoric sensation, even mentioning more psychedelic effects compared to other cannabinoids.

THC-O is federally legal as it is extracted from hemp plants and is an alteration of CBD and Delta 8. The 2018 Farm Bill makes this cannabinoid legal on a federal level, however, that does not make it legal on the state level. Since this cannabinoid is not fully naturally occurring and is created in a lab using hemp ingredients, there is a chance that this cannabinoid may be reevaluated, so enjoy it while you can!

Although there is not a substantial amount of data or studies to explore the side effects of THC-O, it is a cannabinoid that may provide similar effects. Users report that the most common negative effects are dizziness, paranoia, slight hallucinations, nausea, dry eyes, and disconnected thoughts.

THC-O may not be THC, but it is more likely you will fail a drug test since this cannabinoid is an acetate of THC. Most tests look for the THC metabolite which this cannabinoid will break down to, so it will show positive on a drug test.
