These substances are often marketed as alternatives to Delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. While Delta-9 THC is naturally found in cannabis, Delta-10 and Delta-11 are synthetic variations that are typically made in labs by altering the chemical structure of cannabis extracts.
- Delta-9 THC: The most common and well-known form of THC. It is responsible for the “high” associated with marijuana use, affecting mood, cognition, and coordination.
- Delta-10 THC: A synthetic cannabinoid with a chemical structure that closely resembles Delta-9 but is believed to produce milder effects. Users often report a more uplifting, less intense experience compared to Delta-9.
- Delta-11 THC: A newer synthetic cannabinoid, less researched than Delta-9 and Delta-10, and can potentially be even more potent than its counterparts, leading to unpredictable effects.
