WHAT IS DELTA 9 THC?

Delta 9 THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis. It’s the dominant compound in marijuana, and exists only in trace amounts in hemp. The delta 9 that we carry at Elyxr comes from the hemp plant, as marijuana remains a federally illegal substance.

 

WILL THE DELTA 9 GET ME HIGH?

Delta 9 THC is an intoxicating cannabinoid, so yes, it will get you high. How high you get depends on your tolerance, the amount you take, the product type you choose, and the strain of the product, if the product comes in different strains. The high is often described as euphoric, hazy, relaxing, and soothing to the muscles, all at once.

 

DOES DELTA 9 THC OFFER ANY BENEFITS?

Besides the fact that delta 9 can get you high, it also offers a number of potential benefits which have been studied over the last several decades, including:

 Anti-nausea effects
 Appetite-enhancing effects
 Anti-inflammatory properties
 Analgesic properties
 Anxiolytic properties
 Sleep-enhancing properties
 Neuroprotective properties

 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP-DERIVED DELTA 9 AND MARIJUANA-DERIVED DELTA 9?

Under a microscope, the delta 9 found in hemp and the delta 9 found in marijuana are identical. The same cannabinoid is present in both plants. This means that no matter which plant delta 9 comes from, the effects that you feel will be exactly alike.
