There are more than 100 cannabinoids in the hemp plant, and delta 9 is among the most well-known and sought-after. If you've heard the term "THC," you've heard of delta 9.
Delta 9 THC is one of the most abundant naturally occurring compounds found in both varieties of the cannabis plant. It's best known for its uplifting properties but is also thought to have many other wellness properties that can benefit mood, stress relief, and more.

Delta 9 interacts with your body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS comprises cannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and enzymes. Delta 9 is a partial agonist to CB1 cannabinoid receptors found in the CNS, producing those recognizable uplifting effects.

If you've experienced delta 9 already, you know. It produces other benefits, including mood enhancement, healthy appetite, and sleep support. In addition, depending on how much THC you take, it has noticeable relaxing and calming effects.

Cannabinoids like delta 9 have received a lot of press lately, and for a good reason. While humans have benefitted from the hemp plant from the beginning of civilization, only recently have we started to understand these compounds and their benefits.

What Is Delta 9?

How is Delta-9 Legal in Texas?

The hemp industry in Texas is frequently changing, which makes it hard to say whether this state considers hemp-derived products legal. Let us dive deeper into the pot. In 2018, the Farm Bill, a federal law passed, making hemp-derived cannabinoids legal in all 50 states. Donald Trump signed it, legalizing the cultivation and production of hemp. This bill defines hemp as part of the cannabis plant family but containing no more than 0.3% THC on a dry-weight basis. If it has more than 0.3% THC, it is not hemp but marijuana. Although it legalized hemp-derived products, the Agriculture Improvement Act (Farm Bill) did not change the plants’ legal status. It remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. So, citizens can only use hemp-derived products legally. So, Delta-9 is legal in Texas. Check out House Bill 1325, passed a year after the Farm Bill. In 2019, Greb Abbot signed the Hemp Farming Act of Texas. According to it, hemp and its cannabinoids, extracts, and seeds are part of the cannabis Sativa plant. Like the Farm Bill, it states that hemp products containing no more than 0.3% THC is legal.

All Kingpin Kush products are 0.3% THC or less.
