Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 9 THC, Δ-9-THC) is a molecule found in the cannabis plant. Out of 113 cannabinoids recognized in cannabis, Delta 9 THC provides the strongest effects at a sufficient dosage.
At low doses, Delta 9 can have beneficial effects on our health. It can mitigate symptoms of many medical conditions and improve the overall quality of life. When taken at higher doses (25 mg and up for most users), Delta 9 can cause some adverse effects—anxiety, paranoia, increased heart rate, and changes in perception.
There are ways you can safely incorporate small amounts of Delta 9 THC, CBD, CBG, and Delta 8 THC into your daily routine while still feeling productive. For more information, check out our guide on how to microdose weed.
Low doses of Delta 9 might just be the greatest tool in battling anxiety. Stress and anxiety have become a part of our everyday life, but our Relax Plus Gummies are here to alleviate feelings of anxiety, stress, and worry. The premium hemp-derived Delta 9 with equally fantastic CBD make a powerful combo that acts fast in enhancing relaxation and de-stressing.
The Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors and signals that regulate important bodily functions. The ECS is involved in important bodily functions, such as the immune system, memory processing, pain perception, hormonal regulation, and much more. Delta 9 seems to interact with our ECS to produce its effects.
The endocannabinoid system produces chemical signals called cannabinoids. They interact with cannabinoid receptors in the ECS, CB1 and CB2 receptors. Phyto-cannabinoids (plant-based cannabinoids) mimic the action of our native cannabinoids and modulate the ECS in a similar way to natural cannabinoids.
For example, low doses of THC and CBD can calm pain signals, alleviate stress and anxiety, relax muscles, reduce nausea, increase appetite, and enhance brain function—all through interacting with our CB1 and CB2 receptors.
All nama Delta 9 products—such as our Delta 9 edibles—contain low amounts of Delta 9 and other helpful cannabinoids that offer a plethora of beneficial effects.
The Entourage Effect
Cannabis products typically contain more than one cannabinoid. The combined benefits of cannabis compounds that work together to amplify each other’s properties is referred to as the entourage effect. In the entourage effect, the beneficial properties of THC and CBD are enhanced by each other’s presence.
You can experience the entourage effect with our full spectrum CBD gummies. They contain Delta 9, CBD, CBG, CBN, and other minor cannabinoids and terpenes that produce a more potent therapeutic impact when combined.
Or, you can opt for a THC-free microdosing experience. Our CBN gummies are made with premium CBD and CBN to induce relaxation and alleviate pain. These broad spectrum gummies produce a variation of the entourage effect without Delta 9.
Many cannabis experts claim that full spectrum products might be better for our overall health than broad spectrum. Read up on the difference between full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD to learn more about the differences between the two.
There are some differences between THC and CBD, but when put together, these two cannabinoids have greater effect than either alone. Our Sleep Plus Gummies—with 25mg of CBD and 2 mg of Delta 9—promote a healthy sleep pattern and induce relaxation.
