Cannabinoids

What is Delta-8 THC? Delta-8 THC Molecule

Delta-8 THC is its OWN FORM of Tetrahydrocannabinol - Meaning it has its own unique properties and effects.  This is due to the location of the double carbon bond placement on the molecule.  This causes the cannabinoid to break apart and connect to the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) differently than traditional Delta-9 THC (Marijuana).

It is NOT a weaker form of THC.  Users may experience stronger effects using this form of THC if their system does not have a tolerance; as it reacts uniquely to the ECS.

Most have reported RELAXING effects associated with Delta-8 THC.  Remember, every-body is different - so everybody will have their own unique experience and effects will vary.

 

What is Delta-10 THC? Delta-10 THC Molecule

Delta-10 THC is its OWN FORM of Tetrahydrocannabinol - Meaning it has its own unique properties and effects.  This is due to the location of the double carbon bond placement on the molecule.  This causes the cannabinoid to break apart and connect to the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) differently than traditional Delta-9 THC (Marijuana) and Delta-8 THC.

It is NOT a weaker form of THC.  Users may experience stronger effects using this form of THC if their system does not have a tolerance; as it reacts uniquely to the ECS.

Most have reported UPLIFTING effects associated with Delta-10 THC.  Remember, every-body is different - so everybody will have their own unique experience and effects will vary.

What is THCP? THCP Molecule

THCP (Tetrahydrocannabiphorol) is another form of THC that has its own unique bonding effect to the Endocannabinoid System - different from Delta-8, Delta-9, and Delta-10 THC.  

THCP has been known to induce heavier effects because of its ability to bond at a higher rate with the ECS.  The molecular structure of THCP is nearly identical to Delta-9 THC, the only difference is that while THC has a 5- carbon alkyl chain, THCP has a 7-carbon alkyl chain.  (This has led to reports that THCP has more than 30 times the binding affinity for the CB1 receptors compared to THC.)

THCP is an amplifier for other Cannabinoids because of the elongated alkyl chain.  All of THE Dispensary’s THCP products are produced using a 9:1 ratio (example: 90% Delta-8 THC to 10% THCP).  The Delta-8 THC becomes increasingly effective with the THCP addition because it binds to the ECS at a higher rate!  

Most have reported STRONGER effects associated with THCP.  Remember, every-body is different - so everybody will have their own unique experience and effects will vary.

What is CBD?

CBD (Cannabidiol) is another cannabinoid that can be extracted from the Cannabis plant.  Unlike THC, CBD has little to no psychoactive effects and will not induce intoxication.  CBD reacts to the ECS in its own unique way, and has been known to produce effects different than THC’s.

CBD is the first FDA-approved drug (Epidiolex) that is derived from Cannabis that has been proven to treat seizures that are associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.  CBD has a stronger binding affinity to the CB2 receptor; which is the reason for the lack of psychoactivity.

Those looking to NOT experience a psychoactive effect, but still want a natural alternative to address pain, anxiety, and depression will enjoy CBD.  Similar to THC, the ECS is activated when CBD is introduced, and the body will communicate better within itself.  (NIH.gov Mechanisms of Action)
