November 4, 2022What is CBD?
November 30, 2022Get to Know THC-O
Get to know THC-O! Delta 9, Delta 8, THC-O, THC, are all cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant. THC-O is created through a multipart process that converts CBD derived from hemp into THC-O. This means that THC-O is made by changing the chemical makeup of CBD to convert it to THC-O. Like other cannabinoids, its effect causes a psychoactive experience. This cannabinoid is known to be 3 times as potent as Delta 9, which is what most THC users are used to when it comes to cannabinoids.
THC-O Origins
Since the legalization of hemp from the 2018 Farm Bill, the use and study of cannabinoids have exploded. Because hemp has been under regulation for so long there was no way to look at the different cannabinoids in the past. That is, until now. “THC-O acetate, or THC-O, is a synthetic analog (or chemical twin) of THC. That means that although THC-O is indeed a cannabinoid, it’s not naturally occurring and can only be safely manufactured via contemporary cannabis tech.” according to wweek.com. Our THC-O is handcrafted in a safe, clean lab and we even offer COA’s meaning that a 3rd party has tested our THC-O and you can see the chemical makeup of the active.
Effects of THC-O
As stated above, it has been said that THC-O is 3 times as potent as Delta 9 THC. The reasoning? “…researchers have concluded that THC-O is a “prodrug,” or a compound that must be metabolized to activate. Once THC-O is metabolized, what’s essentially left is a highly bioavailable variation of delta-9 THC, meaning the variation is absorbed and circulates well in the body,” according to wweek.com. This means that the cannabinoid needs to go through your metabolism to digest the active. This in turn makes you have a higher psychoactive experience. Effects include feeling high, general relaxation, and a positive mood. It has been reported that some even experience psychedelic effects as well.
Other Cannabinoids
As with all of our psychoactive products, THC-O should be consumed in a safe space. You should not work, operate machinery, or drive while consuming any of our psychoactive products. These products are also available to those who live in states where it is legal and those that are 21+. Because of some laws, THC-O is not allowed to be sold in Idaho, Iowa, Colorado, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Rhode Island, and Utah. Not to worry! We have other cannabinoids for you to try. Check out our Limited Edition page which includes Max Effect gummies which are legal in most states. We also offer Delta 8 gummies as well but be sure to check out the legalities in states there.
