Here at Proleve, we offer Delta 9 edibles, baked goods, and drinks. But you may be wondering: what is Delta 9 THC? What can you expect from Delta 9 THC products? What therapeutic properties are associated with Delta 9, and is this the right cannabinoid for you? 

Read on to learn everything you need to know about Delta 9, including its therapeutic effects, product types, and different ways to enjoy this natural, hemp-derived compound

What is Delta 9?

Delta 9 is a cannabis-derived compound found in both marijuana and hemp. Whereas Delta 9 is the dominant compound in the marijuana plant, in hemp, it’s found in smaller quantities alongside larger quantities of non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBD. However, with the right extraction techniques, Proleve can isolate larger traces of Delta 9 to create products with many of the same psychoactive effects that cannabis consumers love.

What are The Effects of Delta 9?

As a psychoactive compound, Delta 9 provides a great, all-natural way to relax, unwind, and take the edge off after a long day, or to get comfortable and rest for a good night’s sleep. 

Some of the therapeutic properties associated with Delta 9 THC include: 

  • Reduced Stress.

What to Expect From Delta 9 THC Products? A Guide to Using Delta 9 Safely and Responsibly

When it comes to any Delta 9 product, we suggest following the mantra, “Start low, go slow” to determine a comfortable dose. Many of our Delta 9 THC products--especially gummies and baked goods--take a while to kick in, so it’s best to start with a low dosage and gradually work your way up after you’ve given THC enough time to kick in. 

Just remember: you can always increase your dosage, but you can’t decrease it. If you end up finding the psychoactive effects of Delta 9 too strong, you can always try taking some CBD to balance this effect--you can find our CBD product line here.

How Does Delta 9 THC Work?

Delta 9 works by binding with receptors in the body’s ECS, or endocannabinoid system, which comprises a series of receptors and neurotransmitters that spreads throughout the body and brain. Delta 9 THC produces its psychoactive, recreational effects and therapeutic properties by binding with CB1 receptors, which are located in the central nervous system and regulate stress, sleep, mood, appetite, and other factors. Delta 9 gets its ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and other bodily processes by binding with CB2 receptors found in the immune system and elsewhere on the body.
