There are many different forms of THC out there, with Delta-10 THC being one of them. Delta-10 THC is another one of the potentially hundreds of cannabinoids that can be found in the hemp and cannabis plants. However, unlike other cannabinoids, the major ones like THC (Delta-9) and CBD, Delta-10 THC is not found in large concentrations.
Delta-10 THC is present in such low concentrations that extracting it directly from plant matter would not be cost-effective. It would take too much time and plant matter to make it worthwhile. Thus, Delta-10 THC is synthesized in a lab setting, by using a process called hydrogenation.
CBD is taken and chemically altered by changing the structure of double bonds on the CBD molecule, therefore effectively turning it into Delta-10 THC. What is interesting to note is that Delta-10 THC is at this time legal on a federal level, as it contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, and is also hemp-derived. So, what are Delta-10 Gummies?
