What Is Delta-9 THC?

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) is the primary psychoactive component of the Cannabis sativa L. plant. It binds to CB1 receptors in the brain, triggering euphoria, altered perception, and appetite stimulation. Its potency and effects have driven both recreational use and emerging medical research worldwide.

 


 

THC vs. Delta-9 THC

  • “THC” is an umbrella term for over 100 related cannabinoids derived from cannabis and hemp, including Δ8-THC, Δ9-THC, THCA, and others.

  • When folks say “THC,” they most often mean Δ9-THC the form that delivers the classic euphoric “high.”

  • Other isomers like Δ8-THC offer milder effects, while novel variants (e.g., THC-O, THCV) each carry unique profiles of potency and duration.

 


 

Delta-9 THC vs. THCA

  • THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor abundant in raw cannabis.

  • When heated (by smoking, vaping, or cooking), THCA loses its carboxyl group in a process called decarboxylation, converting into active Δ9-THC.

  • THCA on its own won’t get you high only once it decarboxylates into Δ9-THC do psychoactive effects emerge.
