Collection: Delta-9 Edibles

What Are Delta 9 Edibles?

IDelta-9 edibles are simply edibles that contain hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. These products can come in a variety of forms which can range from gummies and baked goods. For many, hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles make a great alternative to Delta-8 THC. The Delta-9 THC content of hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles can have a wide variety of ranges from 10mg of Delta-9 from hemp (Select Spectrum Gummies), 25mg of Delta-9 from hemp (Live Rosin Gummies), and even 300mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 (Select Spectrum Cocoa Squares). No matter the cannabinoid content, the hemp-derived Delta-9 THC in these edibles does not exceed the 0.3% on a dry weight basis threshold.

How Are Delta 9 Edibles Legal?

Hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles are legal in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. That’s right, you can take a Delta-9 edible anywhere you want in the U.S.! They are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and state adaptations of this legislation. In 2018, the United States Congress legalized hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids.

Hemp and marijuana are the same species—cannabis. Their only difference is a legal one. Hemp is cannabis with a 0.3% or lower concentration of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. This definition extends to consumable hemp products. Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC edibles are legal because all the Delta-9 THC in these edibles are derived from hemp plants, and the content of Delta-9 does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.

Where Can I Buy Delta 9 Edibles?

It’s actually quite easy to buy a Delta-9 edible when the THC was derived from hemp. What should be noted however is that, there are very few manufacturers that offer hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles. Since the summer of 2021, Hometown Hero has been offering hemp-derived Delta-9 gummies with the launch of our Select Spectrum Gummies (10mg CBD, 10mg hemp-derived Delta-9). Our chocolate-flavored  Select Spectrum Cocoa Squares (300mg CBD, 300mg hemp-derived Delta-9) and then our Live Rosin Gummies (25mg hemp-derived Delta-9, 5mg live rosin). Our Live Rosin gummies come in packs of 10 which means there is 250mg in a pack. And if you’re looking for Delta-9 edibles for sale, you can always purchase from our website and we’re always running deals with bundles.

You can find Delta-9 edibles in CBD and smoke shops. However, due to the federal legal status of hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles, you can purchase them online in any state if you are 21 years of age or older. In short, buying Delta-9 edibles online is as easy as buying anything else.

Women who are nursing, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant should not take hemp-derived Delta-9 products. There is no such thing as “childproof” packaging, just child-resistant.

How Long Do Delta-9 Edibles Last?

The term “edibles” covers a wide range of products. This can range from gummies, candy, and even baked goods. On top of that, the cannabinoid content can vary from 10mg to 300mg. Then, there’s the factor that cannabinoids affect everyone a bit differently. Generally speaking, the effects of edibles will last longer than any other way for consuming hemp-derived Delta-9. However, how long hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles last will vary from person to person.

What Makes Hometown Hero Edibles the Best?

What makes our edibles the best comes down to two things. The first is our dedication to quality. At Hometown Hero, we do not cut corners when it comes to finding the finest ingredients for our edibles. In fact, we collaborated with an artisan bakery here in Texas to make our Cocoa Squares.

The second is our dedication to safety. All of our products are tested by a third-party laboratory that is registered with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). This lab not only tests for cannabinoid content, but also tests for any potential contaminants. For transparency, we make sure that our lab results are available to our customers.

Delta-9 Edibles vs. Delta-8 Edibles

So you’ve heard of hemp-derived Delta-9 edibles and Delta-8 edibles...so what’s the difference? For starters, the main difference comes down to the cannabinoids used. Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both forms of tetrahydrocannabinol, aka “THC.” Delta-8 shares properties with Delta-9 but with different effects and less potency. However, cannabinoids affect everyone a bit differently.

What should also be noted is that hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products are legal in all 50 states while Delta-8 products are legal in most, but not all. So before you decide, it’s best to check with your state laws on these cannabinoids.
