Hey loves! Curious to dive into the vibrant world of cannabis and hemp?

Let’s clear up some common confusion and chat about the new kids on the block: Delta 8 and Delta 9.

First up, what’s the difference between cannabis and hemp?

Imagine cannabis and hemp as sisters from the same family—Cannabis Sativa (sound familiar?). While they share many traits, they each have their own unique personalities.

• Cannabis is the wild child, famous for its high THC content (that’s the stuff that gets you high). It’s often called marijuana and is beloved for its potent psychoactive effects. Whether you’re looking to chill, get creative, or manage pain, cannabis is your go-to gal.
• Hemp, on the other hand, is the grounded sister. By law, it contains 0.3% or less THC, so it won’t get you high. Hemp is a superstar in the wellness world, packed with CBD (cannabidiol) known for its calming and therapeutic properties. Plus, hemp is super versatile, used in everything from skincare products to eco-friendly fabrics. Talk about multi-talented!

Now, let’s spill the tea on Delta 8 and Delta 9.

• Delta 9 THC is the classic star of the show when it comes to cannabis. It’s the primary psychoactive compound that gives you that euphoric high. It’s well-loved for its potent effects, which can range from uplifting and energetic to mellow and relaxing. This is what you find in CaliLily’s portfolio of edibles.
• Delta 8 THC is like Delta 9’s cool, mellow cousin. It’s also psychoactive but tends to offer a smoother, more clear-headed high. Think of it as the gentle wave compared to Delta 9’s big splash. People love Delta 8 for its mild, less anxious high and its potential benefits like pain relief and relaxation. You might find it in markets where cannabis is illegal because it’s derived from CBD that has been extracted from federally legal hemp. Small word of warning – the FDA doesn’t regulate the process to make delta 8 so they aren’t tested for safety or quality.

Both Delta 8 and Delta 9 interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in your body, but they have slightly different chemical structures. This small difference means they can offer varied experiences and effects.

So, whether you’re team cannabis, team hemp, or curious about the deltas, there’s a whole world of plant magic to explore. Each has its unique charm and benefits, ready to help you live your best life. Cheers to discovering what works for you! 🌿
