THC Edibles - FAQ

What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 THC, or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana use. Delta 9 THC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, influencing mood, perception, and behavior. It is one of many cannabinoids in cannabis but is the most well-known due to its potent effects. Delta 9 THC is also used for medicinal purposes, such as pain relief and appetite stimulation.

Does the type of edible affect the high from Delta 9 THC?

Yes, the type of edible can affect the high from Delta 9 THC. Different edibles vary in their absorption rates, onset times, and potency. For instance, gummies and chocolates typically take longer to produce effects, usually 30 minutes to 2 hours, but the high can last longer compared to inhalation methods. Additionally, the ingredients, fat content, and how the THC is infused can influence the overall experience. Edibles also often result in a more intense and prolonged high due to the conversion of THC into 11-hydroxy-THC in the liver, which is more potent.
