The THC that gives cannabis its popular and desired effects is technically called Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 THC, also natural to the cannabis plant, is simply a less potent variation of THC. Because our Delta-8 derives from the hemp plant, it is highly gratifying and legal.

The term “hemp” is used to describe cannabis that contains 0.3% or less THC. It’s what sets Diet Smoke apart from the more common (and stronger) THC, Delta-9.

Short answer: Yes, because it’s derived from hemp and not marijuana. The difference is simple. Hemp and marijuana are the same species of plant. The only difference is marijuana has very high concentrations of Delta-9 THC while hemp is legally defined as a cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. In 2018, the game-changing Farm Bill laid the groundwork for the explosion in popularity of CBD and Delta-8. Though a few states have banned Delta-8, most have not. 

Delta-8 produces similar, yet milder, effects to “regular” THC (Delta-9), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. With Delta-8, many people report more of a “body buzz,” and less head rush and anxiety that can sometimes come with traditional THC.

If this is your first-time using THC, start with half a gummy. If this isn’t your first rodeo, you should be fine starting with a whole gummy. It can take up to an hour to experience the full effects of Diet Smoke, so start slow.
