What is Delta 9o? | Delta 9o Effects & Legality

Delta 9o is a new, federally legal hemp-derived cannabinoid that is able to produce almost identical effects to standard Delta 9 THC. Cannabinoids have been inside the cannabis plant since they first developed thousands of years ago. Humans have enjoyed their benefits both recreationally and medically. However, it’s with the advancement of technology that now allows scientists to extract specific cannabinoids, process them into their purest form, and make them into safe and enjoyable products for the public to experience. Over the years, the hemp industry has exploded in popularity with the emergence of now legal cannabinoids, such as Delta 8 THC and HHC. Now, Let’s take a look at Delta 9o, one of the newest and potentially strongest cannabinoids to hit the market in the last few years.

Is D9o Different From D9?

Called Delta 9 THC-o-Acetate, this cannabinoid is similar in effect and chemical structure to Delta 9 THC. Delta 9 THCO, or simply Delta 9o or D9o, is practically the same cannabinoid as Delta 9 THC with the addition of an acetate group. When consumed, it can take around 20 minutes for users to begin to feel the effects of D9o. This is because Delta 9o is metabolized via a process called deacetylization before it becomes active in the body. The acetate on the molecule is removed, leaving behind Delta 9 THC. Once that happens, the body processes the remaining Delta 9 like standard Delta 9 THC. It’s a legal way to experience Delta 9 THC effects on the federal level.

All the D9o used in any of 3CHI’s products is derived from hemp, which is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. It’s also a federally legal cannabinoid for consumption. How is that possible, you ask? Well, Delta 9 THC-o is a separate cannabinoid from Delta 9 THC. Delta 9 THC-o products contain under 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight volume in all products. Once Delta 9o enters the body, then the body transforms it into Delta 9 THC. The product itself is federally legal. Your body transforms the cannabinoid into something else during the natural metabolism process.

Delta 9 Effects: How Does D9o Work?

The only difference between D9o and standard Delta 9 is the additional acetate on the molecule. Once the body metabolizes the acetate, Delta 9 THC is left over, in what’s thought to be a more bioavailable form. So Delta 9o will have similar effects to Delta 9 THC, but can be more potent due to the bioavailability increase. Both Delta 9o and Delta 9 will interact with the CB1 receptors, creating the psychoactive high associated with standard Delta 9. With that, Delta 9o can come with some of the same benefits, and potential side effects associated with Delta 9.

Will Delta 9o Get You High?

Because it is similar to Delta 9, Delta 9o will act the same in the body. The biggest difference is that Delta 9o needs to be metabolized in the body before the effects can be felt. The body breaks down the acetate at the end of the molecular chain, leaving behind Delta 9. This new form of Delta 9 will react inside your body the same as standard Delta 9, it just went through a different activation process for the body and the mind to feel the effects of D9o.

Is Delta 9o Legal?

Yes. Delta 9o is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. In that piece of legislation, all products derived from hemp were made legal as long as they contain less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC.

2018 Farm Bill

At the end of 2018, Congress approved the Hemp Improvement Act of 2018, better known as the 2018 Farm Bill. In this bill, hemp and marijuana, both derived from cannabis, received separate definitions for the first time in decades. First, industrial hemp was legalized on the federal level under the Farm Bill. For the cannabis plant to be defined as industrial hemp, the Delta 9 THC content must be less than 0.3% by dry weight volume. If the plant, and any products made from it, remain under that 0.3% Delta 9 THC, then the product is federally legal.

Anything with more than that 0.3% Delta 9 THC in it, whether it’s the cannabis plant itself or a finished product, like an edible or a vape, is considered marijuana. Marijuana is federally illegal even though some states have legalized medical and recreational marijuana use.

What are the Effects of Delta 9o?

Once consumed and metabolized, Delta 9o creates a full body high, where users feel almost like a weight lifted off their shoulders as their muscles relax. They also feel a psychoactive effect in their brain that many have said feels like a giddy and carefree mood. Due to the way Delta 9o is metabolized in the body, D9o can produce more intense and longer lasting effects than Delta 9 THC.

Side Effects

Just like Delta 9 THC, Delta 9o does have side effects. Many consumers have reported dry mouth, dry red eyes, confusion, anxiety, elevated heart rate, and paranoia. Those are the most commonly reported effects, but there may be others. There are not long term safety tests done on D9o, so it is important to consult a physician before consuming the product. It is also important to start with very low doses to determine tolerance before increasing intake of Delta 9o.

What Would be a Normal Delta 9o Dose?

When it comes to vaping Delta 9o, the recommended dose would be one 3-second puff, and then wait 30 minutes before taking another puff. Delta 9o can be as much as 3x stronger than standard Delta 9 THC, so it is important to take it slow when determining the proper dose for you.. It’s important to keep in mind that D9o can take longer to feel the effects than typical Delta 9 extracts. It may take up to 60 minutes for some to feel the full effects.

Can You Consume Too Much Delta 9o?

Yes. Taking too much Delta 9o can create many of the same side effects as an overdose of Delta 9 THC. Delta 9o must be metabolized before it can be used by the body, so it is important to let that process complete before determining if you need more. There is a tendency among consumers to take more because they aren’t feeling the effects right away. Take your time, you will begin to feel the effects, it just takes a little bit of time like tinctures and edibles do.

Comparing Cannabinoids

Even though Delta 9 THC and Delta 9o are similar, there are distinct differences between Delta 9o and other cannabinoids commonly found in hemp and placed into federally legal products, such as vapes and edibles.

Delta 8 THC vs Delta 9o

One of the more controversial cannabinoids in recent years to become popular amongst hemp consumers, Delta 8 is reported to help create a moderate and more controllable high compared to standard Delta 9 or even Delta 9o. Delta 8 activates in the body relatively quickly when vaped, just like Delta 9 THC. There are two main differences between Delta 8 THC and Delta 9o. Delta 8 THC has a double bond on the eighth carbon chain and no acetate on the end of the molecular structure. Delta 9o has a double bond on the ninth carbon chain and an acetate on the end of its molecular structure.

Additionally, Delta 9o is known to interact with the CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which creates the typical psychoactive effects associated with being high. Delta 8 is different because it interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors. This creates a less intense psychoactive experience, but can also create the body relaxation effects typically associated with CBD, which doesn’t have psychoactive effects – CBD interacts specifically with CB2, which focuses on an overall body balance typically in the gut.

THCO vs D9o

Now, there are already THCO products found across the hemp industry. What makes these different from Delta 9o products? They are both THCO cannabinoids, so why is there a difference? Well, the THCO currently being sold is actually Delta 8 THCO, or Delta 8o. This creates a not as intense experience, similar to Delta 8.

The biggest difference between Delta 8o and Delta 9o is, once again, that simple difference in a double bond along the molecule’s carbon chain. Delta 8o has a double bond on the eighth carbon chain whereas Delta 9o has its double bond on the ninth carbon chain. Both D8o and D9o have acetates on them, which the body will naturally break down, leaving Delta 8 and Delta 9 behind respectively.

Delta 9 vs D9o

Though it’s been mentioned before, Delta 9 THC and Delta 9o are nearly identical to each other. The only difference is that Delta 9o has an acetate attached to the end of the chemical structure. This acetate then goes through the digestive system, where the body naturally breaks down and absorbs the acetate, leaving Delta 9 behind. The Delta 9 then interacts with the ECS as any other standard Delta 9 THC product. The only difference is that D9o metabolism is thought to leave behind a more bioavailable version of Delta 9 that can cause users to feel

HHC vs D9o

Now this is where D9o starts to separate itself from the crowd. Hexahydrocannabinol, also known as HHC, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that offers some of the same effects as Delta 9 and D9o but with less reported paranoia and anxiety. D9o is reported to have a more “heady” intoxication than HHC.. Both cannabinoids go through a fair amount of processing to ensure the oils are pure and safe from harmful chemicals.

Delta 10 THC vs D9o

While many people enjoy Delta 10 products, the effects of Delta 10 THC are still debated. While some say the product is a “super sativa” others don’t experience any effects at all above the Delta 8 THC that is typically added to Delta 10 products. Due to that, Delta 9o can be considered to have more consistent and much more potent effects for users compared to Delta 10 THC.
