Have you heard about Delta 9 THC gummies recently and are curious what all the buzz is about? If you didn’t already know Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is considered one of two major cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, and it’s commonly referred to simply as THC or traditional THC.

THC was first discovered and then isolated by an Israeli chemist, Raphael Mechoulam, in a laboratory in Israel in 1964. That’s over fifty years’ worth of research and study into this one cannabinoid. It’s also why we know a lot more about Delta 9 THC compared to many of the other newly discovered cannabinoids, such as Delta 8 or Delta 10.

In this article we are going to take a closer look at what Delta 9 THC gummies are, what their effects are, the legal status, and where you can buy them. If you’re interested, you can shop our full line of Delta 9 products here.

What Are Delta 9 THC Gummies?

Ok let’s investigate what Delta 9 THC gummies are first. Delt 9 gummies are among the most popular types of THC edibles. On a dry weight basis, these gummies aren’t able to possess more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC to be compliant with the 2018 federal farm bill. However, don’t let that number fool you as these gummies are able to pack a punch that we will talk about later.

These gummies are infused with Delta 9 THC. They can come in a variety of strengths and flavors. Gummies are one way to deliver Delta 9 into your body, but certainly not the only way. You will also see Delta 9 products available in vape, flower, and oil forms. All these various delivery methods work by interacting with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors located throughout the body in areas including the brain, skin, bones, digestive system, nervous system, and more. The ECS is made up of receptors (CB1 and CBD2) which scientists believe is responsible for a variety of bodily functions, including:

  • Sleep 
  • Hormones
  • Immune Response
  • Mood
  • Appetite 
  • Memory and more.

It’s important to note that Delta-9 THC is psychotropic and will produce a ‘euphoric high’ effect, especially when consumed in high dosages. Therefore, the effects of consuming a Delta 9 gummy will be very different from smoking or vaping Delta 9.

Effects Of Delta 9 THC Gummies

When you consume Delta 9 THC gummies you are likely to have a variety of effects, but these effects can vary slightly based upon a few factors. Generally, people experience an uplifted mood and can have a euphoric or high sensation. These effects can vary based upon a person’s weight, metabolism, and sex. In addition to individual factors, the strength of the gummy, type of product, and when it was consumed and what you ate it with can also influence the strength of the Delta 9 THC gummy experience. It is important to note as well that Delta 9 gummies can offer a stronger experience than Delta 8 or Delta 10 gummies.

Are Delta 9 Gummies Legal?

We often ask if Delta 9 THC gummies. The answer is yes, these gummies are completely legal in every state in the country that has legalized hemp products. This is by far the vast majority of states in the country.  All the products on our site are completely compliant with the federal farm bill that governs the marketplace for these Delta 9 gummies.

Now, earlier we talked about having 0.3% of Delta 9 THC on a dry weight basis to have the product be federally compliant. Here’s where it gets interesting. A gummy may weigh 1,000mg if you are taking .3% of that gummy you can have up to 30 mgs of Delta 9 THC in the product. Typically, a Delta 9 gummy would only need 10mgs to be effective. As you can see then 30mgs is more than enough to give you the desired effect you are looking for while also being completely federally legal.

How Long Do Delta 9 Gummies Last?

The next question we often receive is how long Delta 9 gummies last in your system. The first thing to know about any edible product like a gummy is that it can take a long time for it to get into your system as it has to work through the digestive process. This means it could take 1 to 2 hours to start feeling the effects of the gummy. While it takes a long time to enter your system it also can have long lasting effects. Unlike a vape or flower which may only last 2 to 3 hours in your system, a gummy can last for anywhere between 6 to 8 hours.

This long-lasting effect is why many will often use gummies for chronic pain. However, it is also important to remember that once you have consumed the gummy you will have to let the effects of the THC wear off in your system. This is why we encourage folks to go low and slow with gummies so that they have an enjoyable experience with the THC and don’t utilize more THC than they are comfortable with.

Where Can You Buy Delta 9 THC Gummies

Ok now that we know what Delta 9 THC gummies are and what gummies are we can explore where you might find them. As you can imagine there is a wide array of places that may sell these gummies with some being a high-quality product and others not so much. So, let’s look at some places where you may find them.

Convenience Stores and Gas Stations

One place that you may see Delta 9 THC gummies is at a gas station or convenience store. This is literally the last place to buy Delta 9 gummies. These types of stores are known to offer low-quality goods. While cheap products may be ok when you are talking about a soda it is not ok with Delta 9. While Delta 9 can be completely safe when manufactured properly, it can be dangerous if done in an improper manner. So avoid these places at all costs when looking for Delta 9 gummies.

Vape Stores

Another place that you may find Delta 9 THC gummies near me is at a vape store. Remember that these stores ultimately specialize in non-hemp or cannabis products.  So, their owners may or may not make it a priority to commit to selling top-quality Delta 9 THC.  If you encounter some Delta 9 THC gummies in a vape store, quickly look up the brands that they carry to find out whether their products are worth your hard-earned cash.

Hemp Specialty Stores

The best place to purchase Delta 9 THC gummies is at a hemp specialty store like CBD Supply Maryland. These types of stores sell only hemp-based products like Delta 9 THC gummies. This means that these stores will have the largest selection and highest quality hemp-based products. Since these stores depend upon your satisfaction with their THC products like Delta 9 THC gummies, they will also be very concerned with making sure that you are satisfied with the products. And, they will have the most knowledge to answer any questions about THC that you may have.

What To Look For In Delta 9 THC Gummies

There are several things to look for when purchasing Delta 9 THC gummies. The first is to ensure that the product has been third-party lab tested. This will ensure that the product is made with real Delta 9 THC and that it doesn’t contain any dangerous materials like heavy metals or pesticides. Another thing to look for is that the product is made with THC that is extracted from non-GMO and organic hemp. This means that you are getting the highest quality hemp. Finally, make sure that the product is made from hemp and not marijuana. While hemp is fully federally legal, marijuana is not legal. This means that a product made from marijuana could place you in jeopardy of running afoul of the law.
