WHAT IS CBD?
CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in the cannabis and hemp plants. CBD does not contain THC which is what is known for causing psychoactive effects. CBD, on the other hand, is more known for providing relaxation and helping with issues like pain, stress, sleep, and anxiety. Those who want to reap the benefits of the hemp plant without the high will enjoy CBD products. Common CBD products include vapes, oils, and gummies. There are three different spectrums of CBD: Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and Isolate. Full Spectrum CBD is a type of CBD that contains all the compounds found naturally in the hemp plant which include cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. While CBD can be beneficial on its own, evidence suggests that its effects can be stronger when combined with cannabis compounds. Broad Spectrum CBD, on the other hand, contains no THC which can possibly hinder the benefits of the entourage effect. CBD Isolate only contains CBD completely eliminating the entourage effect.
WHAT IS DELTA 8?
Delta 8 is one of the most popular and well-known cannabinoids. Delta 8 THC, also called Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. It’s an isomer of both CBD and Delta 9 THC. It has recently become more popular for medicinal and recreational use. Delta 8 is known for causing feelings of euphoria, inducing relaxation, stimulating appetite, and even helping with pain relief. Delta 8 is recognized to be less potent than typical marijuana, giving people a less intense option for THC. Delta 8 is considered to combine the best effects of CBD and Delta 9. Common Delta 8 products include vapes, oils, and gummies. Here at Hemplitude we offer Delta 8 in disposables, cartridges, and gummies.
WHAT IS THC-P?
THC-P is recognized as one of the most potent cannabinoids. THC-P, short for tetrahydrocannabiphorol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid and analog of THC. It is thought to be up to 33 times more potent than regular Delta 9 THC. It was recently discovered in 2019 by a team of Italian researchers. THC-P is almost completely identical structurally to THC except THC-P has a longer alkyl side chain. Delta 9 THC has a five carbon atom chain while THC-P has a seven carbon atom chain. This longer chain makes THC-P more biologically active. Users of THC-P consider it a stronger and more psychoactive version of Delta 9 THC. THC-P can have strong effects even in smaller doses. THC-P can take a bit longer to kick in so you’ll want to start slow when first trying it out.
WHAT IS THC-X?
THC-X, short for Tetrahydrocannabinol, is a compound derived from hemp plants. It is considered to be three times stronger than regular Delta 9 THC and five times stronger than Delta 8 THC. This cannabinoid has been known for decades but has only more recently become popularized in the mainstream market. THC-X has been associated with inducing a high in smaller doses and psychoactive effects in larger doses. It is associated with bringing about feelings of euphoria, creativity, and relaxation. THC-X is not water-soluble but rather oil-soluble, which means it can take a bit longer to kick in. It is also considered a prodrug which means it doesn’t become active until your liver metabolizes it. If you’re new to THC-X, you’ll want to start with a small amount slowly and see how you react. Since THC-X is so strong, you may get the desired experience in a smaller dose than expected.
WHAT IS HHC?
You’ve probably heard of HHC but had no idea what it was. As the hemp industry grows, more ways to utilize the plant have been discovered. HHC stands for hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol. It is a hydrogenated form of THC. It occurs naturally in small amounts. The hydrogenation process changes the structure of Delta 9 THC by replacing its double bond with two hydrogen atoms. HHC is not technically THC but has been known to produce similar effects. HHC is considered by users to be more potent than Delta 8 but a bit less potent than Delta 9. It is also recognized to be one of the most stable forms of THC so it can keep its potency longer. It is very resistant to heat and UV light.
WHAT IS LIVE ROSIN?
You may have heard of live resin recently but not live rosin. There is a distinct difference between the two. Both live resin and live rosin are concentrates extracted from freshly harvested hemp plants that are flash frozen instead of dried and cured. This method helps retain the terpenes that are normally lost in the drying and curing process. Live resin is processed using chemical solvents like ethanol or carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the process of gathering live rosin uses no chemicals, making it an all natural alternative. Live rosin uses high heat and pressure to separate the resin from the plant. This process results in a flavorful and high quality concentrate. Due to live rosin being solvent-free, it is considered less harmful to the lungs when compared to other options.
WHAT IS FULL SPECTRUM?
You’ve probably heard of CBD but aren’t quite sure what “Full Spectrum CBD” is. Full Spectrum CBD is a type of CBD that contains all the compounds found naturally in the hemp plant which include cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. While CBD can be beneficial on its own, evidence suggests that its effects can be stronger when combined with other cannabis compounds. This is called the entourage effect. Potential benefits of Full Spectrum CBD include reducing anxiety, relieving pain, improving sleep, and promoting relaxation. The difference between Full Spectrum CBD and Broad Spectrum CBD is that Full Spectrum CBD can contain small amounts of THC due to utilizing the whole plant. It will only contain up to 0.3% of THC by dry weight to comply with the 2018 Farm Bill. Broad Spectrum CBD, on the other hand, contains no THC which can possibly hinder the benefits of the entourage effect. CBD Isolate only contains CBD completely eliminating the entourage effect. Cultivated on farms in Northern Colorado and Oregon, our Full Spectrum hemp products incorporate the entire hemp plant, with all 100+ cannabinoids, terpenes, and omegas giving you the complete entourage effect for a heightened well-being.
WHAT ARE LIQUID DIAMONDS?
Liquid Diamonds is a unique concentrate that combines live resin sauce with THCa Diamonds, resulting in a potent and flavorful cannabis extract. It has both solid and liquid properties, making it visually stunning and enjoyable to consume. Unlike distillates, liquid diamonds are created without distillation, resulting in a higher purity but also a higher cost. Liquid diamond vapes offer a versatile experience, combining the terpene-rich qualities of live resin with the potency, visual appeal, and high purity of THCa diamonds. Live resin diamonds are made from THCa, which is the acidic cannabinoid that becomes THC when exposed to heat. When left to separate under certain conditions for several weeks, THCa crystals begin to form on the bottom of the container, leaving a semi-viscous liquid layer on top.
WHAT IS LIVE RESIN?
Live resin is a popular cannabis concentrate known for its rich flavors and high cannabinoid content. It stands out from other concentrates because it is made from fresh frozen cannabis, which is harvested and immediately frozen to preserve its natural qualities. Unlike other extraction methods, live resin skips the drying, curing, and trimming phases of harvesting, as the frozen plants are used in a solvent-based extraction process. This results in a concentrate that is packed with the natural flavors and cannabinoids of the cannabis plant, making it a preferred choice for many dabbers and vapers in the cannabis community.
WHAT IS A THC DISTILLATE?
THC distillate is a purified form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) extracted from cannabis. It is a thick oil that can range in color from clear to amber. The distillation process removes impurities such as plant lipids and terpenes, allowing producers to isolate and capture specific cannabinoids by manipulating the process to target a particular cannabinoid. THC distillate contains only THC, making it a highly potent concentrate with purity levels that can reach as high as 97 percent THC or even higher.
WHAT IS THE ENTORAGE EFFECT?
The Entourage Effect refers to the synergistic interaction between the various compounds present in cannabis, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. When we smoke or vaporize cannabis, our bodies are exposed to hundreds of botanical compounds, each with its own unique effects and benefits. These compounds may interact with each other, potentially changing their behavior and enhancing the overall effects of cannabis. Recent studies have also shown that the flavor profile and smell of cannabis may play a significant role in its classification, suggesting that the Entourage Effect extends beyond just the cannabinoid ratios present in cannabis.
WHAT IS THCA?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis and is the precursor to THC, which is the well-known psychoactive compound found in marijuana. During the growth of cannabis, cannabinoids are initially produced as carboxylic acids, including THCA, which have different structures and effects compared to their non-acidic counterparts. Through a process called decarboxylation, THCA and other cannabinoids are converted into their non-acidic forms, such as THC, through heat or other means.
WHAT IS THCB?
THCb, short for Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabutol, is a cannabinoid that is closely related to THC, which is the most abundant phytocannabinoid found in cannabis and responsible for most of its psychoactive effects. Recent research has shown that THCb has a higher affinity for binding with CB1 receptors in the brain compared to Delta-9 THC. This suggests that THCb may have similar properties to THC, including potential pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, preliminary data indicates that THCb may also have potential as a sleep aid.
WHAT IS HHC-P?
HHC-P, or enhanced hexahydrocannabinol, is derived from HHC, a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp. By modifying the carbon side chain of HHC, the interaction with CB1 receptors in the brain is altered. These receptors are responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids, resulting in the feeling of being high. With the added side chain, HHC-P binds to CB1 receptors up to 30 times more efficiently, making it approximately 10 times more potent than regular HHC. It is important to note that if you are new to psychoactive cannabinoids, HHC-P may be overwhelming. However, for those seeking a deeply euphoric and blissful experience, HHC-P offers a potent high that can induce a state of couch-lock. Many consumers have reported benefits for severe anxiety, pain, aches, and sleep insomnia. It is worth mentioning that taking a high dose of HHC-P can lead to prolonged effects, which may be desirable for some but should be taken into consideration.
WHAT IS THC-H?
THC-H, also known as tetrahydrocannabihexol, is a cannabinoid that shares identical molecular structure with Delta 9 THC. However, their unique arrangement gives them distinctive properties. One common property is the ability to induce a high, which is the main appeal of THC-H. In fact, THC-H is considered the second most potent cannabinoid in the hemp plant, believed to be 25 times stronger than regular THC. Users have reported various benefits, including pain relief, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety. The high and overall experience of THC-H are often described as unparalleled and highly enjoyable.
