When most people hear THC, they're thinking of delta-9 THC, the most common form of tetrahydrocannabinol found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike its cousin delta-8, delta-9 THC is abundant in these plants, making it the more recognized and frequently used variant.
Delta-9 THC works in harmony with your endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex cell-signaling system in your body that plays a role in regulating a range of functions and processes. It interacts primarily with the CB1 receptors in the brain, which are part of the ECS.
Just like delta-8 THC, delta-9 can help encourage relaxation and soothe feelings of tension and discomfort. It's important to note, though, that the effects of delta-9 THC can be more noticeable than those of delta-8 THC.
At Sunmed, we extract delta-9 THC from organically grown hemp, along with CBD, CBN, CBG, and other plant compounds found in our full spectrum gummies. Together, these compounds support your everyday wellness journey, providing a range of therapeutic benefits.
If you’re new to THC products, it’s generally best to start with a small serving size — like half a gummy — and adjust as needed each day to find the amount that works best for you.
