The Farm Bill passed by the US government in 2018 impacted the cannabis industry. One of the aftermaths was the emergence of the synthetic cannabidiol, THC-O. The compound combines hemp extracts, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), oxygen, and sometimes, other cannabinoids. 

What Is THC-O?

This compound is more potent than regular THC, but some states have little legislation regarding its legality. Learn more about this new cannabidiol (THC-O) and whether it is safe for use. We will also compare this synthetic cannabinoid to traditional THC.

THC-O and How It Is Produced

As mentioned earlier, THC-O, also known as the “spiritual cannabinoid” or “psychedelic cannabinoid,” is a laboratory-produced compound derived from delta-9, not to be confused with delta-8, tetrahydrocannabinol which is then processed into acetate ester form. This is combined with cannabis oil for a better effect. Therefore, it has greater efficacy and is more potent than tetrahydrocannabinol variants. 

Does THC-O Have Any Effects on the Body?

The body metabolizes THC-O quickly. Users also report an immediate effect when smoked or vaped. However, this may not be the best way to consume the product as the interaction of heat and acetate ester is harmful. When taken as gummies or tinctures, the reverse is the case.

Meanwhile, when discussing the THC-O effects, it is crucial to consider its reputation for creating intense, almost psychedelic experiences.

THC-O causes pleasure and enhances sensory perception. Some users claim that it produces hallucinogenic effects. These results are in-line with it working as a moderate psychedelic.

Despite the THC-O’s high potency, it takes some time to take effect. While the benefits of a quality delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol tincture start almost immediately, THC-O becomes effective between thirty minutes to one hour.

THC-O has a very high potency but takes time to absorb and work in the body system.

THC-O is a synthetic byproduct of THC and other compounds. It is known for its high intensity and potentially hallucinatory effects. Hence, users must stick to recommended doses. Furthermore, THC-O can appear in THC-related drug tests, so avoid it if you will be going for some drug tests. Finally, determine your state laws on CBD and its derivatives before buying THC-O products.
