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).

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.
