Cannabinoid Info
Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp and its derivatives containing less than 0.3% THC are now legal to buy and use in the United States. Below are a quick description of some of the legal cannabinoids that will be found at Vibe Leaf
THCA: THCA or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, a natural cannabinoid found in raw cannabis plants. When THCA is heated or aged, it can be converted into delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of marijuana. This process, known as decarboxylation, occurs when cannabis is smoked, vaporized, or cooked. When THC is burned and inhaled, it binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body, resulting in the psychoactive effects commonly associated with marijuana.
THCP: THC-P, or tetrahydrocannabiphorol is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in certain strains of cannabis sativa. While specific potency ratios can vary, some studies suggest that THC-P can be up to 30 times more potent than THC (Delta 9).
HHC: Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is a hydrogenated derivative of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid that has rarely been identified as a trace component in Cannabis sativa. It can also be produced synthetically by hydrogenation of cannabis extracts. It is reported to be 80-90% the potency of THC.
Delta 8: Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-8 THC, is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is one of over 100 cannabinoids produced naturally by the plant but is not found in significant amounts. Delta-8 shares structural similarities with Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9), which is known for its psychoactive effects. It is reported to be 70% the potency of THC and serves as a base for most products.
Delta 10: Delta 10 tetrahydrocannabinol is a naturally occurring compound in cannabis that has roughly 60-70% of the psychoactivity of Delta-9 THC, the well-known cannabinoid responsible for the plant’s classic effects. This reduced potency offers users a milder experience, and ongoing research aims to uncover its potential therapeutic benefits and the underlying mechanisms. Some users report a longer come up making it the perfect pick me up for a blend of cannabinoids
