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

According to the 2018 Farm Bill, Delta-8 THC is legal in most US states. However, it’s illegal to buy Delta-8 THC gummies today in the following states: Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Utah or Vermont. For now, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate Delta-8 THC products.

You’re right, they are similar, and they are both federally legal because they are both made from hemp! Beyond that, Delta-9 gummies are more high-potency and feel more like classic cannabis in terms of effects, where delta-8 gummies have a more relaxing, lighter effect. Delta-9 gummies provide a different experience than full-spectrum CBD or Delta-8 (or even other new cannabinoid products like HHC or delta 10). Which is best? Really, that is a matter of opinion. What do you want from your gummy? Delta-9 gummies deliver the most intense experience if pleasure or a party is your goal. If wellness and the soothing, therapeutic properties of cannabis and hemp are your aims, CBD might be the best. If you want some of both, you can try our Delta-8 hemp flower or gummies, or just enjoy the Delta-9 plus CBD. One thing Delta-8 and Delta-9 usually have in common is the extraction method. Most manufacturers start with full-spectrum CBD and process and refine it to separate out the different minor cannabinoids such as CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC, terpenes—and of course Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC. As long as they are within the dry weight requirements of the law and derived from hemp plants, Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC products are legal. This accounts for some of the differences in the products that are on the market. What finally ends up in them depends in part on proprietary blends of extractions.

Delta-8 metabolizes in the same way that Delta-9 does in the human body, therefore there’s no way for drug tests to tell the difference between the two cannabinoids. If you’re regularly drug tested, we recommend against using Delta-8.

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. If you are a regular user of THC products, Delta-9 THC gummies may be your favored product.
