Delta-9 THC & THCA FAQ – Get Blitzed Frequently Asked Questions
Is Delta-9 THC legal in the United States?
Yes, but it depends. Under federal law (the 2018 Farm Bill), hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is legal if it contains 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight. However, some states have stricter rules and may ban or regulate Delta-9, even if it’s hemp-derived. Always check your local and state laws before buying or shipping any Delta-9 THC product.
Is THCA and THCA Flower legal in the United States?
Yes—THCA and THCA flower are federally legal in the United States if they are derived from hemp and the product contains 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. However, state laws can vary widely. Some states have banned or restricted THCA products and flower, even if they are hemp-derived and meet federal limits. Always check your state and local laws before purchasing or using any THCA or THCA flower product.
How is THCA different than THC?
THCA is the natural, non-psychoactive form of THC found in all raw cannabis and hemp plants—including medical marijuana and dispensary flower. On its own, THCA doesn’t cause any high or intoxication. But when you heat cannabis—by smoking, vaping, or baking—the THCA “decarboxylates” and turns into Delta-9 THC, the compound that actually produces the classic cannabis effects. This natural conversion process is the same in all types of cannabis, whether it’s medical, recreational, or hemp-derived.
What is Delta-9 THC and can it get you high?
Delta-9 THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in hemp and cannabis. Yes, Delta-9 is the compound responsible for producing the classic cannabis “high.” Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is federally legal in the U.S. at 0.3% or less by dry weight under the 2018 Farm Bill. It’s the key ingredient behind most of the effects people associate with marijuana, including euphoria, relaxation, and increased appetite.
What is THCA and can it get you high?
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a non-psychoactive compound naturally found in raw cannabis and hemp. On its own, THCA does not get you high. When heated (smoked, vaped, or cooked), THCA converts to Delta-9 THC—the main ingredient that produces a “high.” This is how all cannabis works, including traditional marijuana sold in dispensaries. There’s nothing synthetic or artificial about the process; it’s just a natural chemical reaction that happens every time cannabis is heated. THCA products are popular because they’re legal in many states and offer the same benefits as Delta-9 THC after decarboxylation.
How Is Hemp-Derived Delta-9 Different Than ‘Real’ Marijuana THC?
Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and “real” THC from marijuana are chemically identicalThere’s no chemical difference—hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and marijuana Delta-9 THC are exactly the same molecule and have the same effects. The only difference is legal: hemp-derived Delta-9 comes from plants with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight (as defined by the 2018 Farm Bill), while marijuana THC comes from cannabis plants with higher THC content. The law treats them differently based on their source, but your body can’t tell the difference.—it’s the exact same compound with the same effects. The only difference is the source: hemp Delta-9 comes from plants with 0.3% THC or less by dry weight (as defined by the 2018 Farm Bill), while marijuana Delta-9 comes from higher-THC cannabis. The law only cares about where it’s sourced, not the actual molecule or how it works in your body.

Can I legally travel with Delta-9, Delta 8, THCA,or other
hemp-derived THC products?
Hemp-derived THC products like Delta-9 and THCA are federally legal if they contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. However, travel laws can vary widely depending on your state, airline, and destination—even for hemp products. Some states and airlines restrict or ban hemp-derived cannabinoids, and international travel with THC is especially risky. Always check local, state, airline, and international rules before traveling, and keep your products in their original packaging.

What are the potential side effects of Delta-9 (D9) THC?
Delta-9 THC can cause side effects like dry mouth, red eyes, increased appetite (“the munchies”), drowsiness, anxiety, or paranoia—especially with high doses or if you’re new to THC.

What is the difference between Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC?
Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both forms of THC found in cannabis and hemp, Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both forms of THC found in hemp and cannabis plants. Delta-9 THC is more potent and is responsible for the classic cannabis “high,” while Delta-8 is less potent and often provides a milder, clearer, and sometimes less anxiety-inducing experience. Delta-8 occurs naturally in much smaller amounts and is often produced from hemp-derived CBD. Both Delta-8 and Delta-9 can be legal when derived from hemp and contain 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight, but Delta-8’s legal status is more restricted in some states. Always check your local laws before buying either product.
Will Delta-9 or THCA show up on a urine, saliva, or hair drug test?
Yes, using Delta-9 THC—whether it’s hemp-derived or from marijuana—can cause a positive result on a drug test for THC. Most standard drug tests look for THC metabolites, so consuming Delta-9 products may lead to a failed test.
How fast do Delta-9 and Nano Delta-9 THC products work (onset time)? (Edibles, Flower, Drinks, Syrups, Vapes)
Nano THC drinks and syrups usually kick in within 5 to 30 minutes, while edibles can take 30 to 90 minutes to take effect. Smoking or vaping typically hits within 1 to 10 minutes
How long does a Delta-9 THC edible high last?
The effects from Delta-9 edibles like gummies usually last between 4 and 8 hours, depending on your dose, metabolism, and tolerance. Some people may feel aftereffects even longer, especially with higher doses or if they are new to edibles.
How long do Delta-9 THC gummies stay in your system?
Delta-9 THC from gummies can stay in your system for several days to over a month, depending on how often you use them, your body, and your metabolism. Most drug tests can detectDelta-9 THC from gummies can be detected in urine for 1 to 30 days or longer in frequent users. In blood, it’s typically detectable for only a few hours to a few days. Saliva tests can find THC for up to 72 hours, while hair tests may detect it for up to 90 days.
How do I calculate my dose of Delta-9 THC?
Begin with a microdose of 2.5–5 mg of Delta‑9, particularly for edibles or nano drinks. Wait 1–2 hours before increasing. Metabolism, body weight, and tolerance all affect how much you need. Use product label recommendations as a guide
How should I store THCA flower?
Keep THCA flower sealed in an airtight container, stored in a cool, dry, and dark place to preserve potency and prevent mold. Avoid heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Can I eat raw THCA flower?
Raw THCA flower won’t get you high—THCA is non-psychoactive until heated. Some consume it for raw cannabinoid benefits, but you won’t feel any high unless it’s decarboxylated.
How does THCA convert to Delta-9 THC?
When exposed to heat—from smoking, vaping, or cooking—THCA loses a carboxyl group (“decarboxylates”) and becomes psychoactive Delta‑9 THC. This is the same natural process in all cannabis and hemp.
How do I read your lab results or COA (Certificate of Analysis)
A COA (Certificate of Analysis) is a third-party lab report that shows your product’s cannabinoid content and purity.
