Cannabinoids: What You Need To Know

What Are Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are a group of naturally occurring chemicals in hemp and cannabis plants. There are more than 100 different cannabinoids, and they're found throughout the plant kingdom.

In particular, marijuana contains high amounts of these compounds. These chemicals interact with your body's cannabinoid receptors, producing different effects on your mind and body. Read on to learn more about Cannabinoids from a Delta 8 Wholesaler's perspective.

Types of Cannabinoids

The two most common cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD has no psychoactive effects, while THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis that produces a high.

There are other minor cannabinoids as well — including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and more.

What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid, just like Delta 9 THC, except for the fact that its molecular structure contains an extra carbon atom. It can produce pleasant psychoactive effects that aren't quite as intense as Delta 9. However, it still makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The Delta 8 compound is legal in most states since it's extracted primarily from industrial hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation of hemp for commercial purposes. It also made it legal to use hemp-derived products as long as they contain the minimum THC limit. The Delta 8 products sold by Mega Distribution contain 0.3% THC or less.

Is Delta 8 Legal?

Opinions regarding Delta 8 THC are varied, particularly regarding its legal status. As long as Delta-8 THC is derived from the hemp plant and not marijuana, it is legal on the federal level in the US. Some states have legalized it for medical use, but others restrict or ban its usage completely.

How Is Delta 8 Made?

Delta 8 THC is a rare cannabinoid compound that can only account for a small percentage of hemp. Although you will find many claims from manufacturers who say they can extract Delta 8 directly from hemp, this is impossible. So, instead, experts use a process to convert cannabinoids with similar chemical structures. This involves extracting CBD or other cannabinoids from the hemp plant and converting them to Delta 8 THC.

The extraction process can be done in a few different ways. Some people prefer a solvent extraction technique, but CO2 extraction is the most popular method for producing high-quality medical hemp products.

Delta 8 Dosage

Everybody will react differently depending on their body metabolism and other factors. But if you're starting, go ahead and take a leap of faith with a 5-15mg dosage. Consistent users of Delta 8 THC should aim for an intermediate dose of between 15-30mg and an advanced dose of 30-100mg. Begin with a lower dose and increase your dosage slowly over time as you build more tolerance.

There are two types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are located primarily in the brain and nervous system, whereas CB2 receptors are found in immune cells and throughout the body.

What is Delta 11?

Delta 11, also known as D11, is a compound called a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp. When ingested, Delta 11 THC has a psychoactive effect. This means users feel high or intoxicated and experience changes in mood and behavior. It is most commonly used in edibles, vapes, and concentrates.

There's currently not as much research on Delta 11 as there is for CBD, THC, and Delta 8. The cannabinoid Delta 11 metabolizes Delta 9 THC in the cannabis plant. Although it is minimally available, studies show that Delta 11 is considerably stronger than other THCs (Delta 8, 9,10). However, this will ultimately depend upon the body's reaction and other factors.

How Potent is Delta 11?

The exact strength of Delta 11 THC is unknown now, with the only known data being the reports of what other users have experienced using it. Many people confuse it with Hydroxy THC, which is thought to be around three times stronger than Delta 9.
