Delta 9 THC

Delta-9 THC

Delta-9 THC is the king of all cannabinoids and the main reason why cannabis has become a culture unto itself in America today. Yet, it remains federally illegal and banned in many states unless you have a medical condition. Or does it? If you’ve been waiting for your state to finally legalize cannabis and you’re starting to lose hope, then we may have a solution for you. Blue Springs CBD offers totally legal Delta-9 products, so you don’t have to hold your breath on that federal bill that may or may not ever come. Keep reading to learn more about how this is even possible and what it means for you Delta-9 fans in states without recreational cannabis.

What Is Delta-9 THC?

Better known as “the stuff that gets you high,” Delta-9 THC is a chemical compound known as a cannabinoid that is abundant in cannabis and present in trace amounts in the hemp plant. While most renowned for its psychoactive effects, Delta-9 is also regarded for some therapeutic benefits it’s been reported to offer. Those benefits may include relief from discomfort, increased relaxation, an uplifted mood, and more. There are a ton of other cannabinoids at work when you smoke cannabis, but the major component that has turned the plant into something of a mythical figure is Delta-9. That’s why when you hear someone refer to THC, you can most likely assume that they’re referring to Delta-9, the OG THC.

Delta-9 THC’s Legality

Another important aspect of Delta-9 THC is the fact that it’s considered to be a schedule 1 drug by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. That means it’s federally illegal. However, it’s not the buds or the leaves of the cannabis plant that are against the law to possess in the eyes of the federal government; it’s the psychoactive compound that is present in those clusters of shimmering trichomes found all throughout the plant. There is, however, a non-zero limit to the amount of Delta-9 THC that can legally be found in a hemp, CBD, or other cannabinoid product, which will become quite important in a later section.

How Does Delta-9 THC Feel?

So you’re a true law-abiding citizen who has never enjoyed any black market bong hits in your day, but now that there’s a legal option for trying Delta-9, you’re feeling a bit curious? Let’s try to describe the experience to you. Delta-9 THC is known to offer an uplifted mood, feelings of euphoria, an altering of perception, and a burst of creative thinking. Depending on the strain you choose, you might feel something more energetic and cerebral (sativa) or relaxing and physical (indica). There are also hybrids that offer a bit of the effects of both strains. Always keep in mind that THC, like any other mind-altering substance, can affect different people in different ways. For this reason, it’s always a good idea to start with a smaller serving size and then up it slowly to try to find that perfect sweet spot between nothing at all and way too much.

How Can Blue Springs CBD Have Legal Delta-9 Products?

We know it sounds counterintuitive and even a little suspicious, but we assure you that we do, in fact, have Delta-9 THC products that are legal to purchase and possess. How exactly does that work? Allow us to explain. The legal limit for Delta-9 THC in any product is less than .3% by dry weight. That “by dry weight” component is rather important because it implies that if the actual weight of a given product is composed of less than .3% Delta-9 THC, that product is then considered legal. That’s even if the product itself has enough Delta-9 in it to provide you with its psychoactive effects, which is the case with our Delta-9 gummies.

Delta-9’s Complicated Legal Status

It’s important to remember that this interpretation of the Delta-9 laws is likely to raise the ire of the legislators who created them. It’s a bit like a mother saying “get in the bath, or else” to their mud-covered child and then that child climbing into the dry bath, never running the water and never washing themselves off at all, and then going out to play again. It’s certainly what they said, but it isn’t what they meant. This means that Delta-9 products like our Delta-9 gummies fall into a legal gray area until some sort of clarifying legislation is created, so enjoy them while you can because once Mom finds that bone dry bath, she’s probably not going to be all that happy.
