At Kentucky Botanical Co., we often get questions about the various cannabinoids in hemp-derived products. With so many terms like CBD, Delta-8, Delta-9, and minor cannabinoids floating around, it’s easy to get confused. But don’t worry—we're here to clear things up so you can feel confident when choosing the right products for your wellness journey.
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the most well-known cannabinoids found in hemp. It’s non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high, but it offers a range of wellness benefits that have made it incredibly popular. Many people use CBD to help manage stress, promote relaxation, and support overall wellness. It’s available in various forms like CBD oils, gummies, topicals, and capsules, making it easy to incorporate into your routine.
Benefits of CBD: May support stress relief, better sleep, and general relaxation without the “high.”
Best for: Those looking for natural wellness solutions without psychoactive effects.
Delta-8 THC is a minor cannabinoid that has grown in popularity due to its mild psychoactive effects. It’s similar to Delta-9 THC (more on that later), but users report that Delta-8 offers a more clear-headed, relaxed high. While it still provides a euphoric sensation, it’s often described as less intense, making it a great option for those who want something in between CBD and traditional THC products.
Benefits of Delta-8: Offers mild euphoria, helps with relaxation, and may reduce anxiety.
Best for: Those looking for a light, calming high without the intensity of Delta-9 THC.
Delta-9 THC is the most common form of THC and is the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects in cannabis. When you think of THC, you’re usually thinking of Delta-9. It provides a stronger high than Delta-8, and while many people enjoy it for its recreational effects, it’s also been studied for its potential medical benefits.
Benefits of Delta-9: Provides a stronger high, may help with relief, appetite, and deeper relaxation.
Best for: Those who are comfortable with stronger psychoactive effects.
Minor Cannabinoids: The Unsung Heroes
While CBD, Delta-8, and Delta-9 get most of the attention, there are over 100 other cannabinoids present in hemp that offer unique benefits. These are called minor cannabinoids and include:
CBG (Cannabigerol): Often called the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
CBN (Cannabinol): Known for its sedative effects, CBN is gaining popularity for its potential to support sleep and relaxation.
Benefits of Minor Cannabinoids: May enhance the overall benefits of hemp products when used together in full-spectrum or broad-spectrum formulations.
Best for: Those looking for a more holistic approach to wellness, with the potential for targeted effects.
