THC-O: What You Need to Know

  The 2018 Farm Bill has made it legal to extract CBD from the hemp plant as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. This legalized CBD is now being subject to varied chemical processes to produce different types of cannabinoids. After Delta 8 and Delta 10 made considerable waves in the cannabis market, THC-O is the latest synthetic derivative to spring up on the cannabis scene. To draw a parallel, all these THC compounds have the same base structure with slight variations. However,  THC-O Indica is an acetylated version of THC. It is made by removing Delta 8 from CBD and adding it to acetic anhydride. This acetate ester form is also known as THC-O acetate. The ins and outs of the compound THC-O is considered the most potent form of cannabis today. It is five times stronger than Delta 8 and three times more powerfulthan Delta 9! In small and regulated doses, it creates a psychoactive high with the buzz feeling both energetic and relaxing. Going overboard with l...

Scores of new cannabinoids are trending on the cannabis scene, one contending to be better than the other. CBD is in a class of its own, while new variants of THC like Delta 8 and Delta 10 are marking their presence with a gentle and smooth high as compared to the more potent (and banned) Delta 9 THC. THC-O is the latest entrant that is making waves as the strongest form of cannabis in existence today. But what is it that makes, say  THC-O indica different from the other cannabinoids? Let’s find out – Origin – THC-O is not a naturally occurring substance. It is not actually found in the cannabis plant, but is created in the laboratory under specific conditions. The biggest differentiating factor here is that is contains the molecule acetate. In fact, THC-O is actually a tetrahydrocannabinol called THC-O Acetate. This is a synthetic analog which involves extracting CBD from hemp before extracting Delta 8 from that CBD. The organic solvent acetic anhydride is introduc...
