Delta 9 Edibles
A Delta 9 edible, also known as a delta-9 edible or THC edible, is a commercially made food product with <0.3% Delta 9 THC per dry weight added into it. Delta 9 edible may refer to food or drink, as long as the product itself contains 0.3% Delta 9 THC and comes form hemp. Previously classified as Cannabis edibles, Delta 9 edibles are derived from hemp. These edibles also contain <0.3% Delta in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill, passed by Congress and signed into law by former President Trump. Since Delta 9 edibles are federally legal, with many states adopting similar rules, retailers can sell their Delta 9 edible products online and ship directly to a store or consumer's residence.

Delta 9 edibles offer some of the same effects that Cannabis edibles offer: relaxation, sleepiness, increased appetite, dizziness, dry mouth, euphoria, hallucinations, paranoia, and increased or decreased anxiety. But Delta 9 edibles are seeing a huge increase in popularity because of the legal status of these edibles, along with continued quality and consistency. This helps create a consistent experience that's premade and affordable. Consumers have reported they enjoy commercially produced Delta 9 edibles that they don't have to necessarily make themselves, which can be a time consuming process.

Effects
Consuming Delta 9 edibles have been reported to produce effects that last longer and tend to be more intense than inhaling Delta 9. The human body begins to feel Delta 9 THC once it enters the bloodstream. When smoking or inhaling Delta 9, this can happen in a matter of minutes. For Delta 9 edibles, first they must go through the digestive system. First, the Delta 9 edible is digested in the stomach and then filtered through the liver before entering the bloodstream. This is why it can take several hours to feel the full effects of Delta 9 edibles. But because the products are cycled through the liver and into the bloodstream, their effects can remain in the body for several hours as well.

Potential Health Benefits
With Delta 9 THC, research has shown several different benefits of this common cannabinoid beyond euphoria. In fact, several U.S. states have legalized Delta 9 for medical purposes. Patients with qualifying conditions (which varies per state) receive a recommendation from a state licensed physician and can purchase high THC products. But Delta 9 edibles don't require a physician's recommendation or for a state, and they offer similar benefits, such as a full body relaxation and euphoric sensation. Delta 9 is also said to decrease inflammation and spasticity, plus offering anti-seizure effects.

Side Effects
Just like cannabis edibles, even hemp-derived Delta 9 edibles can create some unwanted side effects in some users. Because each person reacts to Delta 9 differently, not all the side effects will occur or will be as intense as others. It's best to make sure individuals consume Delta 9 edibles in a safe environment with trusted friends or family to allow you to experience Delta 9 edibles as genuinely and safely as possible. Some of the more dominant effects include: dry mouth, red (bloodshot) eyes, dizziness, confusion, and increased paranoia and anxiety. There have been reports of people having more extreme symptoms. If you begin to feel out of control, make sure to stay hydrated and stay in a safe place. Most symptoms resolve after a few hours or a few hours of sleep.

Food
There are several different types of Delta 9 edibles. Mainly, they come in a baked good, such as cookies and brownies, or in a candy or gummy form. These products go through the same baking process as standard baked goods or gummies. The difference is how much Delta 9 THC is added in during the baking process. Delta 9 is added to baked goods before they are baked to make sure the Delta 9 is dispersed throughout the edible evenly. For candy and gummies, they are heated to a mostly liquid form before the Delta 9 is added. Then it is placed in molds to get the desired look and cools into a candy or a gummy.

Drink
Also known as drinkables, Delta 9 edibles do include drinks, such as seltzers. Drinks are also regularly infused with Delta 9, such as coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks or shots. These are typically premixed by companies who sell a variety of Delta 9 edible products.

Dissolvable Powder
Part of the drinkables category of Delta 9 edibles are dissolvable powders that can be added to drinks as consumers would like. Delta 9 dissolvable powder can be flavored or not, enhancing the drink however the consumer likes.

Legalization
Across the U.S., recreational cannabis is federally illegal, even though nearly 20 states have legalized its recreational use. But under the 2018 Farm Bill, passed by Congress and signed into law by former President Donald Trump, hemp and marijuana were defined separately for the first time in decades. First, industrial hemp was defined as any product with no more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC in it by dry weight. Industrial hemp, now separately defined from marijuana, was legal federally. Any products containing more than that 0.3% threshold would be defined as marijuana, which would remain a Schedule 1 Drug under the Controlled Substances Act.

Since the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, all states have now written their own laws similar to the 2018 Farm Bill, adopting similar laws surrounding industrial hemp. Therefore, Delta 9 edibles that follow the rules set by the 2018 Farm Bill and each state's laws are legal to purchase, ship, and sell to consumers 21 and over. Laws are always changing in each individual state, so before you decide to purchase any Delta 9 edibles, research the laws in your state. That way, you know what you are purchasing is legal and won’t be breaking your state laws.
