The Legal THC Landscape: Exploring Hemp-Derived Options

Across the digital landscape, there's a growing wave of websites advertising legal THC products. But how is this even possible? For individuals residing in states where marijuana remains outlawed, the possibility of accessing such products might seem remote. The journey towards legal THC, however, stems from legislative changes that distinguish between hemp and marijuana.

In 2014, the initial Farm Bill Act was inked into law, permitting limited hemp farming. This move laid the groundwork for President Donald Trump's 2018 Farm Bill Act, which further clarified the distinctions between hemp and marijuana, solidifying what is now deemed federally legal hemp. Crucially, this bill introduced a 0.3% threshold for Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. Hemp, on the other hand, is known for its CBD content, typically ranging from 15% to 30%.

So, what's a cannabinoid? These are naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant, with over 140 variants. Prominent examples include THC and CBD, each manifesting distinct effects. While high levels of THC induce a psychoactive response, CBD can influence the body's endocannabinoid system, potentially assisting with pain and emotions. Lesser-known cannabinoids also contribute to the plant's diversity.

Among these is Delta-8 THC, widely recognized for its presence in edibles and flowers. This compound offers a psychoactive effect approximately 70% that of marijuana, coupled with a more energizing, sativa-like experience. However, it's worth noting that a few states have begun to prohibit Delta-8 THC.

Delta-9 THC remains a sought-after compound in the world of marijuana products. In 1942, Dr. Roger Adams introduced Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), created through a hydrogenation process similar to turning olive oil into margarine. HHC is currently unregulated and legal due to its minimal Delta-9 THC content, staying well below the 0.3% limit.

HHC boasts effects similar to Delta-9 THC, yet with an added dash of energy. Remarkably, HHC is legal across all 50 states, and its products can be shipped through major US carriers.

But what about traditional Delta-9 THC? The 2018 Farm Bill mandates that all hemp-derived THC products maintain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC. To put it in perspective, 0.3% of a 6g High AF gummy is approximately 13mg. Given that most consider 10mg the standard dose and several states cap a single serving at 5mg or 10mg, 13mg is notably substantial.

High AF caters to varying preferences, offering gummies with 12mg Delta-9 THC paired with 12mg CBD for balance, 25mg HHC options, 35mg blends of Delta-9 THC and HHC, 50mg HHC gummies, and for those in Delta-8 THC-allowed states, 100mg Delta-8 THC gummies (akin to a 70mg Delta-9 THC edible).

Each gummy is tailored to its potency, and first-timers are recommended to start with half of a 12mg gummy. High AF provides these potencies in an array of flavors. With orders over $40 qualifying for free Priority Mail shipping (arriving in 1-3 days), and new customers enjoying 20% off with code WELCOME, embarking on a gummy journey has never been more enticing.
