What is Delta‑9?

Delta‑9 THC is a natural chemical in the cannabis plant that can make people feel high because it strongly attaches to certain brain receptors that affect mood, memory, and movement.

How fast does Delta‑9 work?

Breathing in Delta‑9 can work in minutes and fade in a few hours, while eating it can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to start and may last 5 to 8 hours or longer because the liver turns it into a longer‑lasting form called 11‑OH‑THC.

What are common effects?

People may feel relaxed or happy, notice time differently, and get hungry, but some may also have dry mouth, trouble with short‑term memory, or feel anxious if they take too much at once.

How much should someone take?

A small amount is best to start because everyone feels effects differently, and for edibles many places use 5 to 10 mg THC as a serving, so starting low and waiting to feel the full effect helps avoid taking too much.

Is Delta‑9 safe?

Many adults use it without serious problems, but high doses can cause panic, fast heart rate, or poor coordination, and smoking can bother the lungs, so knowing the dose and choosing safer forms like measured sprays or edibles can help.

Will Delta‑9 show on a drug test?

Yes, most tests look for THC and its byproducts, so Delta‑9 use can lead to a positive test even days after use depending on amount and frequency.

Are there risks for driving?

Yes, Delta‑9 can slow reaction time and attention, and studies show higher crash risk after using cannabis, so it is important to wait until the effects have fully worn off before driving or using machines.

How is Delta‑9 different from CBD?

Delta‑9 can make people feel high because it activates CB1 receptors in the brain, while CBD does not make people high and works on many other targets such as serotonin and TRPV1 channels.
