THC-O, or THC acetate ester, is the acetate ester form of THC. It’s commonly referred to as THC-O for brevity. We manufacture our Delta 9-THC-O using certified, safe compounds under GMP conditions. This cannabinoid is an oil with a smooth consistency, comparable to CBC isolate, making it ideal for use in oils, foods, and extracts. The effects typically begin within 10 to 20 minutes after consumption and may intensify for up to an hour.

What is Delta 9-THC-O?

Delta 9-THC-O stands for Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol Acetate. While there are no established reference standards for detecting Delta 9-THC-O, it is believed to naturally occur in cannabis, albeit in smaller amounts. Research indicates that the presence of Delta 9-THC-O corresponds to the variations in Delta 9 THC and Delta 8 THC concentrations found in the plant.

Differences from Other Cannabinoids

THC-O is distinct from cannabinoids like Delta 8 THC (D8) and Delta 9 THC (D9) in several ways:

• Psychoactive Effects: THC-O is thought to produce stronger psychedelic effects compared to Delta 8 and Delta 9.
• Chemical Structure: The primary THC molecule in THC-O is chemically bonded to an acetate group.

Tolerance to Delta 9-THC-O

Tolerance levels for THC-O may differ from those for Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC. Due to its stability and longer duration in the system, THC-O can take longer to metabolize, especially when consumed orally. Users often report feeling a distinct experience compared to traditional Delta 9 or Delta 8 highs.

Potency of Delta 9-THC-O

THC-O is estimated to be three to four times more potent than Delta 9 products, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more intense experience. The high from THC-O is often described as blissful and euphoric. While Delta 9 is frequently used for recreational enjoyment, it also provides therapeutic benefits for individuals dealing with issues such as poor appetite, nausea, and addiction. Many users consider Delta 9 to be more powerful than Delta 8.

Chemical Analogue

THC-O is an analogue of THC, meaning it shares a similar molecular structure but is not identical. Although THC-O can induce pleasure, it lacks the natural flavonoids and terpenes found in whole-plant oils. This absence may not appeal to those who prefer a full-spectrum experience, yet many users open to new experiences report a profound sense of well-being after trying THC-O products. The spiritual and psychedelic effects of THC and Delta 9 are well recognized, and users of THC-O often describe it as providing an unparalleled level of bliss.

Important Notice

Vaping cannabinoid acetates can lead to the formation of ketene, so caution is advised.
