What is delta-10?
Delta-10 THC is a special version of ‘regular’ delta-9 THC. That means it’s in the same category as other isomers like delta-8 THC and HHC.
Where does one find delta-10 THC? That’s another good question. Both cannabis and hemp plants produce trace amounts of this special cannabinoid. Retail delta-10, however, is usually processed from hemp’s CBD — not extracted directly. But more production info later.
Delta-10 has two major advantages over more traditional cannabinoids: it produces a pretty rad high, and it’s fully legal on the federal level!
Delta-10 THC’s legal status
Speaking of legal issues, it’s true: delta-10 THC is 100% federally legal.
So long as it’s been derived from low-THC hemp (and not high-THC cannabis), delta-10 is fully legal. Turns out that the same Farm Bill that legalized CBD also legalized delta-10, though it took a few years for hemp suppliers to figure this out.
The implications of this are huge. Now people in all 50 states — even those where recreational/medical cannabis is illegal — can enjoy some fully legal, all-natural upliftment!
Delta-10 THC: how is it made?
Let’s look at delta-10 production processes next. As we mentioned above, delta-10 isn’t usually extracted directly from hemp. Instead it’s converted into its final form from hemp extract. This is a multistep process, as you’ll soon see…
- Mature hemp flower is harvested and dried
- Hemp flower is powderized once fully dry
- Hemp flower is placed into a closed-loop extraction machine
- Hemp’s cannabinoids are extracted, resulting in a high-CBD extract
- This CBD-rich extract is converted into a delta-10-THC rich extract through special chemical reactions
- Alternatively, delta-10 THC is separated out of CBD-rich extract through distillation or flash chromatography
Delta-10: what are the effects?
“The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.”
– Willy Nelson
Delta-10 THC possesses an incredible array of health benefits. You might be surprised, however, to hear that virtually all these benefits stem from delta-10’s ability to reduce stress.
Why’s that so important? Because stress is indeed the biggest cause of mental and physical problems. Stress is more than a feeling or an emotion — it’s a biochemical state that causes all sorts of hormonal dysfunction. Left unchecked, stress can simply wreck your health over time.
Do delta-10’s anti-stress effects make it the right choice for you? If you can relate to the below list of stress-associated health problems, probably so.
- Depression, anxiety, or mood swings
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- Cognitive dysfunction/’brain fog’
- Sleep problems like insomnia
- Autoimmune diseases
- Epilepsy
And delta-10 isn’t just health-promoting. It can also make you feel dang good! Users say its high is powerful…but not too powerful. You can easily enjoy delta-10 and then proceed on to have a productive, fully-functional day.
One more thing: some studies show that delta-10’s solubility allows it to be better absorbed than other cannabinoids. It might kick in more deeply than delta-9 THC, even though it’s not as strong, resulting in longer-lasting effects.
Let’s take a deeper look at how delta-10 compares to cannabinoids you might be more familiar with next.
Delta-10 & CBD comparison
Delta-10 and CBD are both cannabinoids, sure, but that’s one of their few similarities. (Another: they’re both federally legal.) Otherwise, the effects of these two couldn’t be much further apart.
Take a look at the differences for yourself below:
- CBD acts on CB2 receptors and doesn’t get you high
- Delta-10 THC acts on CB1 receptors and does get you high
- CBD doesn’t significantly alter your mental state
- Delta-10 THC significantly alters your mental state
- CBD may improve your body’s ability to burn fat
- Delta-10 THC may improve your body’s ability to burn sugar
Of course, delta-10 vs. CBD doesn’t have to be an either-or thing. You can take them both and profit!
Delta-10 & delta-8 comparison
Delta-10 and delta-8 THC are pretty dang similar to one another, both in terms of their chemical structures and their effects. Some users say that delta-10 is slightly less powerful, though others claim that it’s no less powerful, just a little less sedating.
“I would compare delta-10 to a Sativa in terms of its effects,” one cannabis lab tech explains, “while delta-8 is more of an Indica.”
Delta-10 is also so new that it’s inadvertently more legal than delta-8 is. Many states just haven’t had the chance to regulate and/or ban it yet. And if delta-10 is illegal where you live…no worries. We’ll help you remain a law-abiding citizen by just not shipping it to you. [2]
Delta-10 & delta-9 comparison
Delta-10’s effects are similar to those of its better-known relative delta-9. Most users, however, find that delta-9’s high is stronger and slightly less manageable. Delta-9 might still be the best choice if you’re looking for maximum relaxation, but beginners may very well get all the relaxation they need from delta-10. Studies going back to the 70s clearly show that delta-9 is especially great at promoting deep, restorative sleep. [1]
Delta-10 THC: how it affects your endocannabinoid system
What makes delta-10’s mental and physical benefits so diverse? The same thing that fuels the benefits of every other cannabinoid: your body’s endocannabinoid system. This ultra-important system becomes ‘activated’ by delta-10, producing all sorts of downstream benefits in the process.
In other words, when your endocannabinoid system is healthy, you will be, too! And delta-10 helps your body achieve this type of health almost effortlessly. You may be able to combine it with CBD or delta-8 THC for even broader beneficial effects.
Delta-10: how it makes you feel
Excited. Uplifted. Hopeful. High. Zooted (well, only if you take too much).
These are all terms that aptly describe how delta-10 makes you feel. Users say its exciting + energized high is hard to find from other sources. Think of delta-10 as being like a 100% Sativa strain. Though Sativas actually don’t get their power from delta-10, the effects are nonetheless super similar.
Delta-10’s uplifting effects mean it’s great for anyone who wants to tackle their creative goals. That includes:
- Business owners/founders
- Career-oriented people
- Chronic creative types
- Podcasters/comedians
- Artists and musicians
- Entrepreneurs
