Just when you thought you had all the Deltas figured out, a new Delta hits the market! The new hype around the cannabis industry is Delta-11, but what is it? And how does it compare to our beloved Delta-8? Let’s find out…
Delta-8 THC is a rare cannabinoid naturally present in hemp plants. It’s a THC isomer, meaning it has a very similar structure to the more famous Delta-9 THC but with a few small differences.
Delta-8 has fewer psychotropic effects compared to Delta-9, making it a better alternative for those who prefer to get the THC benefits with a gentler high.
Studies suggest that Delta-8 THC has many potential health benefits and can be beneficial in the:
As one of the most sought-after cannabinoids, there are plenty of Delta-8 products available on the market to suit your every mood, from vapes to delicious cookies!
If you’re looking to unwind for the night with the euphoric high of Delta-8, you can find it in many dispensaries across the country! And better yet, you can also find it online!
Online shopping guarantees you top-quality Delta-8 products at bargain prices. You can also check lab reports and ingredient labels before buying to make sure you’re getting the best of the best.
Delta-11 THC is also a rare naturally occurring compound in the hemp plant; it’s a new potent form of THC that rumor has it “possesses 3x the potency of the infamous Delta-9 THC”.
Like Delta-8, Delta-11 is also a THC isomer, having a similar chemical structure but with wildly different effects.
Delta-11 is still relatively new to the market and doesn’t have as much research behind it as much as other cannabinoids, but from what we know so far is that it can:
Anecdotal reports tell us that Delta 11 offers a stronger euphoria compared to other Delta cannabinoids.
Reports also state that Delta-11 has longer-lasting effects that Delta-9 and shorter onset, which means that you can use less with D11 over the same period of time while still getting the same continuous psychoactive benefits.
Delta-11 is one of the relatively new hemp-derived cannabinoids; we are yet to find pure Delta-11 THC products on the market. We did find a few products that combine Delta-11 THC with other forms of THC.
However, most of the products we’ve found labeled as Delta-11 are actually fake and contain 11 hydroxy THC instead.
So buyers, beware! Read the lab reports to make sure you’re getting what you’re paying for.
A common mistake! But no, Delta-11 is a psychoactive cannabinoid, while 11 hydroxy THC is a form of THC metabolites that the liver produces when you consume THC cannabis edibles.
We understand where the confusion comes from because Google has much to say about 11 hydroxy THC and so little to say about Delta-11. (SMH)
You might wonder why the “8” and why the “11”, so let’s geek out on some science here! All the Deltas share almost the same chemical structure, except for a shift in the double bond along the carbon chain. Delta-8 has the double bond on the 8th carbon chain, while Delta-11 has it on the 11 carbon chain.
The difference in placement leads to cannabinoids interacting differently with our bodies.
Delta-8 has moderate psychoactive effects, while Delta-11 has extremely powerful psychoactive effects.
Delta-8 gives a body high, while Delta-11 gives both cerebral and body high.
With incredibly potent cannabinoids such as Delta-11, responsible production, and responsible consumption are essential!
Always buy from reputable brands that carry lab reports to make sure it’s safe to consume, and of course, consult your health care provider first before consuming any hemp cannabinoids.
On paper, Delta-11 promises the ultimate THC experience, with a powerful high unlike any other, but in reality, most cannabis users fell in love with Delta-8 because of its moderate high!
Users get to enjoy the pain relief that comes with the relaxing body high of Delta-8 without feeling overwhelmed.
So, if you want to know which is better, we recommend you experiment with both and see which gets going best.
We don’t have enough research and trials on Delta-11 yet, but users report some common adverse effects such as lethargy, red eyes, and dry mouth.
Thankfully we live in the age of federally legal cannabinoids! Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed the hemp plant and all of its derivatives (including Delta-11) from the controlled substances list.
Hemp-derived products have to contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis to be federally legal.
There are a few states that weren’t happy about the legalization of hemp-sourced THC products; those states are:
Unfortunately yes! Any drug test designed to detect Delta-9 THC will also sniff out any other cannabinoids from the THC family, such as Delta-11 THC.
If you undergo drug tests regularly for work, we recommend that you stop all THC products 90 days before taking the test.
When it comes to getting some medicinal benefits with a side of euphoria, the Delta family surely delivers.
While Delta-11 is still relatively new to the market, there aren’t many available options to taste its incredibly potent high.
But in the meanwhile, Delta-8 is well-established and largely loved by users everywhere. So, until more reliable Delta-11 products hit the market, try some of our THC best sellers.
