THCM vs Delta 9o: Which Cannabinoid Is Better?

Two new cannabinoids on the hemp market are THCM and delta 9o.  And, while they’re both closely related to delta 9 THC, the reality is that they have a lot of differences between them, which we know even without any research to back up either.

Either way, we want to compare the two to one another, because most people have very little understanding of what either is, where it comes form, or what kinds of effects it can offer.

Why Choose THCM?

THCM Origin

THCM (11-Nor-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol-9-Carboxylic Acid {Carboxy-THC}) is a cannabis byproduct first discovered in 1997.  It hasn’t ever been isolated in the cannabis plant, meaning that technically, there’s no proof that it even exists in raw cannabis.  Rather, it has been identified in cannabis smoke, and is useful as a biomarker to find out if a fetus has been exposed to cannabis while in the womb.

THCM’s Psychoactive Properties

As of now, we don’t actually know about THCM’s psychoactive properties.  Whether or not the cannabinoid is intoxicating has yet to be confirmed, but one thing that we do know is that if it is psychoactive, the effects are likely to be extremely mild.  And, without knowing whether or not it’s psychoactive, we don’t know if the potential high would be more euphoric, uplifting, sedating, etc. 

Purpose for Taking THCM

THCM is pretty hard to get on the commercial market right now, and for the time-being, we’ve only seen it in vaping products, in combination with other cannabinoids that do deliver well-known psychoactive effects.  Because of that, it’s clear that at least for now, THCM’s purpose is to potentiate the effects of other cannabinoids, and thus, enhance the entourage effect.

THCM’s Legality 

THCM is, in fact, a legal cannabinoid according to federal law, when it comes from the hemp plant, because of the Farm Bill, which passed in 2018, and legalized any hemp product that contains a maximum of 0.3% delta 9 THC.  THCM sounds similar to delta 9 THC in its name, but ultimately, it’s a different compound.

One thing that you need to know, however, is that 19 states have banned all THC cannabinoids, and THCM would fall into that category.  So, you should assume that THCM is illegal in:

• Alaska
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Iowa
• Maryland
• Mississippi
• Montana
• Nevada
• New York
• North Dakota
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Utah
• Vermont
• Washington

Why Choose Delta 9o?

Delta 9o Origin

Delta 9o is semi-synthesized cannabinoid, created to mimic delta 9 THC as identically as possible.  Delta 9o is delta 9 THC which has been treated with an acetate, creating an entirely new way in which the body metabolizes it, where the acetate molecule is metabolized quickly so that all that remains in the body is delta 9.

Delta 9o’s Psychoactive Properties

Delta 9o’s high is no different from delta 9 THC’s, because once the cannabinoid absorbs into the body, it becomes delta 9 THC.  So, you can anticipate a high that’s going to be decently potent, offering feelings of both euphoria and relaxation.

Purpose for Taking Delta 9o

Delta 9o is used specifically for those who want the effects of delta 9 THC, legally.  Because the cannabinoid becomes delta 9 in the body, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who doesn’t have legal access to delta 9 THC – and that’s something that it has in common with certain types of THCM products.

Delta 9o’s Legality 

Delta 9o is legal federally, because of the Farm Bill, like THCM.  But, it’s banned in the same states as THCM, as it’s an isomer of THC.

Final Decision: Delta 9o and THCM: Two THC Byproducts That’re Very Unique Indeed!

Both Delta 9o and THCM are somewhat mysterious and misunderstood, largely due to the lack of research behind them, combined with their rarity on the market.  But, as you can see, both offer a lot of promise.  And, in all likelihood, THCM can boost the effects of delta 9o thanks to its role as a potentiator.

What we can say is that THCM will be more available soon, so if you’re excited to try its effects out for yourself at Binoid, keep an eye out in the coming months ahead.
